Theists Say Stupid Things

it's well known that theists say stupid things... and in this TSST, we have 'proof of god', why prayer saves from curses, and some other stupid arguments that actually don't demonstrate anything other than a bit of ridiculousness. Thank goodness for folks having stupid things they believe in, so that I can make videos like this.

*Everything in this video is just an opinion, and should be treated as such - though it is important to ask questions. Any humour or sarcasm is aimed towards the words and actions of the individuals, and not intended to be a personal attack on any individual themselves, under the act of free speech*

The problem isn’t the stupid things they say, it’s them believing what they’re saying is not stupid.

[unreasonable-man.bsky.social]

Making a rule and then immediately exempting your protagonist from that rule is just bad writing. Monotheism has one of the worst magic systems ever.

[sledzeppelin]

Imagine thinking you can defeat a logical fallacy by simply inventing an entity with no justification for it.

[pigpuke]

Theist response to anything: Talk in circles until the other person gets bored or has a stroke.

[GalaxySid]

This universe is not unjust, it simply seems completely indifferent to our opinions and feelings. Exactly what we would expect if nothing is out there looking over us.

[sledzeppelin]

When a Christian is talking, assume they’re lying. This rule will serve you well at least 90% of the time.

15:36
"Lord, please heal my dying child..."
"Nah bro, that doesn't glorify me."*

[vinny]

14:30 "did you go to a witchdoctor?"

Proceeds to do the exact same thing the witchdoctor did.

[thetalkingbear]

A word comes to mind when I hear these types of arguments. Sophistry.

[RainbowFlowerCrow]

2:24 That guy trying to explain DNA killed me. He probably thinks it's all like alphabet soup or something😆

[stevewebber]

That "C.S. Lewis animation" was amazingly creepy. And the argument was bad too.

[georgem]

Theists say stupid things because reality and reason are not on their side.

[sugoisenpai]

I feel like the animated one simply deserves the Billy Madison response. Not even an attempt was made to form any logical connection between "the word good exists, therefore god."

[vinnyganzano]

The first one you showed was a prize plonker but that second one, holy shit, I'd need all of Sir Sic's Whisky supply for a week just to get through his concentrated stupidity.

[randomusername]

I always love how theg go from "there must be a creator" to "the creator is the christian god whose attributes and doctrine is completely agaisnt observable reality"😂

[redfoxninja]

It doesn't matter what theists say because none of them are special enough to get their God to show up...not a single one

[ricknor]

If we can only ask for things "in accordance with God's will", then what is the point of prayer?

"What's the point of having a Plan if some schmuck with a two-dollar prayer book can come along and f*ck up your Plan?"~~ George Carlin, because I only steal from the best.

[tomsenior]

These people could have been wonderful, loving, productive members of society. Imagine a world where these individuals have been taught critical thinking and not the most obvious nonsense. Armed with an ability to challenge harmful ideas, every man-jack of them could protect themselves and save others from the dangers of religious ignorance.

How can there be a pink unicorn who pulls furniture out the way of my toes if I'm always stubbing my toe?
Damn, my question just proved there IS a pink unicorn who pulls furniture out of the way of my toes. Neat!
