What's the creepiest thing a theist has ever said to you?

One told me she loved Jesus more than her husband, anything or anyone alive.

 I told her i found that very sad and disturbing.
She's no longer writing to me.

"some folk take it to mean 'freedom from religion'."

The problem with that statement is that freedom from religion logically entails freedom from it.

If I'm, say, a Buddhist, I should be free from Christian or Islamic rituals and rules. If I'm a Baptist I should be free from catholic rules, etc. So "no religion" follows just as easily.

I think the creepiest thing I've heard is recently I was in a debate with a fundamentalist Christian who admitted that Anne Franke was in hell because she was a Jew and Hitler was in heaven because he was a Christian.

So everyone who is wearing cotton.polyester blend clothes might as well be buried with a stick and a bag of marshmallows.

Oh christ, where to begin? I guess the thing I liked least is the priests who greeted me with "Blessings on you!"

I would have immediately checked my clothing for something disgusting "Blessings ON you".

In a letter from a Christian shopkeeper:

Since we know that Christ is the only way to heaven; it would truly be insensitive for us not to share Christ with the world.

Theist: do you want to come to church with me Sunday morning?
Me: What kind of church is it?
Theist: Catholic. You can bring your kids.

Besides the too-easy opening there, the implication is that there are adult-only churches?

That was your first mistake. Never lead them on. What did it matter what kind of church it was?

(Actually, I like the Quakers and will go to Meeting for Worship.)

I would have to say from an online dating site, he told me that he has seen where I live. Then he went on to say that if he didn't believe in God he would be a rapist and that it keeps him from doing bad things.

War on Christmas in May

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 7 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
