The Stupidest Thing You've Ever Heard?

[David]

The worst I have ever heard from a person who got their opinions on anything from the Bible was from a former neighbour of mine (I'd bid good riddance to bad rubbish, but I've seen conceptual artists turn bad rubbish into million-dollar art pieces, and I didn't want her newfound beliefs coming back as something valuable).

She moved out to the country somewhere; before she left, she claimed that the simpler life was for her because, quote, 'Jesus didn't have technology, so neither should we'. When pressed for extrapolation of her amazing theorem, she retorted with "It's right because it's my opinion. I can complete the mission of my life with nothing but what God gives me."

Sort of like Rambo of the faithful, combatting against reality with a fig leaf and a really pointy rock.
"...Here she comes, the Amish commando, see her go, the Amish commando..."

Sounds like a real fanatic. Tell her not to use a car or airconditioning from now on.

My father is a fundamentalist southern babtist who probably has delusional schizophrenia. I lived with him for the first 10 years of my life I cant remember what the stupidest thing he ever said was....Oh wait I've got it! A few weeks ago the nutcase called my house, we got into a theological argument. I aasked him if he condoned the stoning of disobedient children. Can anyone guess what his answer was?


Yes!

I asked him why, and he replied"because by making an example out of those children fewer children will go to hell in the long run"

WTF.

*Adds that to list of reasons why people should be required to get a license before creating life

[Alyrium Denryle]

Dont worry Mr. Bean His son (why do I have to be related to that lunatic) shall rectify the situation and remove him(not like anyone will ever want to breed with him)from the gene pool.

James Watt, secretary of the environment under Reagan, said that we don't need to worry about protecting the environment because the Second Coming is near. Seriously.

[David]

Didn't the Bible say to be good stewards of the earth? Violating his own beliefs I think.

[Lagmonster]

Sounds like a real fanatic. Tell her not to use a car or airconditioning from now on.

And that's only one way to put it. She's long gone, though. Sad, really, that common courtesy tells us to behave politely towards people that express lunatic opinions but who, as long as we keep our rebuttals to ourselves, will have otherwise no impact on our day.

Yikes.

Okay, maybe I'm just s stupid puddle of dung here, but that is a good question... why are humans so far in the lead of the primate pack when it comes to evolution. As far as I know, humans have never, you know, dined on other members of the primate family, so obviously we haven't killed off any competition. So what gives?

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

IF EVOLUTION IS RIGHT WHY DON'T WE SEE LIZARDS CHANGING INTO BIRDS?



Creatonism theory. Nuff said.

Thank you for admitting that up-front.

but that is a good question... why are humans so far in the lead of the primate pack when it comes to evolution.

We're not. The genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees are extremely small. We share almost all of our genetic structure with our fellow primates. We're actually inferior in most developmental respects, with our only advantage being the fact that our intelligence (in most cases) is above the threshold to build useful tools. This makes up for our generally inferior bodies.

As far as I know, humans have never, you know, dined on other members of the primate family, so obviously we haven't killed off any competition. So what gives?

That's amazing. How can you operate a computer without opposable thumbs?

You actually believe we haven't killed off any competition? That is the dumbest thing I've heard in years. Humans have killed off many, many species throughout history, starting with the Neanderthals.

Here's a hint: it's possible to kill off a species without necessarily dining on it.

Tho you have to admit Mike, some people *coughcough* are good to eat.

[David]

Is there some vaugly concealled insult about monkeys in here?

[kojikun]

Ze monkees! Zey are coming!!! AHHAHAAAAH!H!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[David]

Careful, I might throw you into the PIT OF HOWELING MADNESS filled with RABID GIANT KILLER MONKEYS!

[XPViking]

David. I'm quite sure the Bible said to be good stewards of the Earth. In other words, if James Watt was a believer but said those words then he needs to reexamine his beliefs (or at the very least, his words and actions).

I grew up in a town filled with creationists(sp?) When I was in biology class, the teacher let half the class make a timeline of the genesis myth while the rest of us rational people did it on the geologic history of earth, all 6 billion years of it. Or 5 I did sleep through most of my classes that year.

Also, my school was over run by a cult called Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) my friends all called them tecies. Fundamentalist Militants every one of them. And, one of my teachers, a good man who gave me a B even though I never got higher than a C on my tests, was shunned by the tecies because they thought he might possibly be a heretic. He only said he believed in evolution

Worst quote: (sooo many)

"You don't believe in God, your going to hell." spoken by the drug using slut who sat in front of me.

"Jesus is real, it says so in the bible."

"But you have to believe in God."

Have pity on me.

Thank Jebus that I am finaly gone from that evil shithole of a town.

It's not a cabinet level position. It's the Enviormental Protection Agency.

(Reagan and Watt blow goats I have proof!)

What town was that?

And I feel for you man.

I'm stuck in Fundamentalist hell.

Feh.

A new story!

"I was picking my cousin up from this headstart type of summer school thing. Well, I arrived, and one of the staff members pulled me in, thinking I was the parent. They said that they could no longer offer their services to me, because my child was caught for a 2nd time reading one of the Harry Potter series (A prohibited line, I found out later) during the "Study" time, which consisted of reading from a selection of literature, either childrens' classics or Christian literature. The name of the place didn't even hint at being a Christian brainwashing facility!"
-My dear good friend, Jake

[fgalkin2]

I'm stuck in a dorm room with three conservatives, two of which don't believe in evolution.

Most of the program is Southern.

And the worst part is that I actually have to debate them.
And, trust me, you know nothing about circular logic until you argue one of the hot topics (like abortion) with a conservative.

Good thing it's over soon, and I'll go to my good old liberal New York.

[Meghel]

The most supid thing I every heard:

"Science will solve every problem mankind has" .

I can't remember who said it, but it must be one of those scientists.


PS: If you all want to read a good book on stupid things, I suggest you get the book "Science of Discworld" written by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen.
ISBN 0091865158

Highly recommended. It is a very good book

A close second for the stupidest thing I have ever heard

Me: Im an athiest.

Stupid FCA(fellowship if Christian athletes) person: I shall pray for you*look of scary euphoria*

The person/s who wrote this horseshit should be dragged into the street, raped by a large horse, placed into a burlap sack with hungry angry rats, beaten with a lead pipe, forced to eat shit, have their fingernails pulled out, be dragged by a very fast car over gravel, and their heart cut out with a dull spoon. And if they aren't dead, shoot them in the abdomen with a 9mm hollowpoint bullet.

People like this were behind the Spanish Inquisition.
