  1. but what if you're wrong
  2. I just know. I feel it.

I've had the "but what if you're wrong" argument. Like that's any reason to be religious.

@tnorman1236 Once again, lets all make all of our decisions and actions out of fear.

How can you know right from wrong without god?

God will never give you more than you can handle.

@OlderMusicGeek Better yet.....my daughter shadowed a medical examiner for months....they saw a suicide either everyday or every other day.

Everything happens for a reason.

I hate this phrase so much.

All of them.

Sending thoughts and prayers

Have a blessed day, and everything happens for a reason, and we do everything we can to protect kids (why do clergy keep raping kids?)

Yeah that one is a bad one -- I always ask if it is better than a cursed day.

Jesus loves you ... they use it as a weapon to overpower you

'it's in god's hands'......'you can take comfort in knowing god bla bla bla'.....'it's all part of god's plan'.... 'thank you jesus'....

I hate the way religious people attribute every good achievement mankind makes to God. by the same token when bad things happen they never say it was God who must have made it happen. This to me is completely illogical and as a Humanist I find not giving people who have created great things by their own effort and ingenuity, but attributing everything to a mythical figure, dismissive of human ability.

I tried to explain this to my parents this dichotomy to my parents. It’s a form of brainwashing, as well as social acceptability.

"God is so good!" Statement made after cancer went into remission after many treatments by a science trained doctor. This and other things said, giving the credit to God that should have been given to a living breathing human being.

"You don't believe in ANYTHING???" - that one always gets to me, but I try to smile and respond with "Of course I believe in many things, I just do not believe in a god.."

I'll pray for you. Don't bother. I'm not praying.

My sisters and I were raised Catholic. I quit church at 16, at 24 I got married in a Lutheran church and my sister remarked, "well you're getting some religion at least".

Yes, America is a Christian Nation. It even says in god we trust on our money.

It didn’t used to say that. It wasn’t always like that. Eisenhower had it put on there in 1957.

@Cbabcoco I know. This post was about things you hate hearing from Theists.

@Cbabcoco One the back of the one dollar bill it does say that. Under the pyramid with the all seeing eye of the Illuminati read the words there. You might have to translate them, but ... look it up.

@xyz123 I know it’s there. I just said it hasn’t always been there. It was put there in 1957.

I wonder if God fearing Americans still trust God after the copious amounts of armed offences against the citizenship of late. I wonder what they trust God to be doing. If it were a security company I would change my provider!

"Jesus loves you, too!"

They swarm around my workplace because they know no one will kick them out, since we don't lease the parking lot. Target can kick them out, but we can't. It's really amusing when they send out a new guy. Once they've come by a few times, they remember me as the chick who won't contribute to religious organizations. But it's really annoying until then...

I ask them if Chuy's is serving free lunch. Chuy's is a restaurant here in Houston (really good), and Chuy is hispanic nikcname for Jesus. Or tell them good you'll visit Chuy's house when you get home. Just something ...

Its god's will/ plan. God does not give you more than you can handle. You are going to hell if you don't give your life to Jesus.

“God has a plan for you.” Yeah well, if god is so powerful but I can resist his will, I have a degree of power over him, so don’t tell me God has a plan for me when I have the power to resist him at all.

“The universe came from nothing, so what caused something to exist if there was nothing?” No professional person claims that the universe came from nothing, we have yet to scratch the specific origins of the universe, let alone what came before. We can do the Big Bang, but that isn’t so much an event of the universe’s origins as much as it is a series that describes the origins of the universe.

"Did you know that in Islamic Law? A..."

"But you seem such a nice person!"

"As a Chrisitan..." As an athiest..." "What goes round comes round" "I'll pray for you" Lazy abbreviated text (LOL, LMAO, IMO etc.) "Looking for love" "Instant karma" "I'm doing it for the kids"

The bible says.

The Bible.....which I can’t even type into this reply without it being capitalized says a lot of things that negate the very actions of these people who are supposed to be Christ like.

Make up a quote that goes against the one they just rattled off. And tell it to them. They'll go the Bible doesn't say that. Tell them to look it up for themselves: in Hezikiah 9:18 or some chapter / verse. Hezikiah is one of the books pulled out by the Catholic church, so they'll go nuts trying to find it.

The Bible... Wasn't that written by P. T. Barnum?

"What came before..." Since time/space started at the Big Bang, then it makes sense that there is no such thing as "before" the Big Bang."

Turn around and bend over.

"God told me to.... 1) go to the bank today; 2) eat a tuna fish sandwich for lunch; 3 to infinity - any number of mundane activities..."

"It wasn't me who did a good job on (whatever), it was Jesus."
