Theists Say Stupid Things

It's never a disappointment when theists make videos... because they definitely say some stupid things... like beavers proving god, and how a lack of lightning means that the only god that apparently exists is a kind god... I'm not kidding.

Here's one of my favourite things to do... react to a compilation of videos where theists say stupid things...

*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*

'look at the beaver. Therefore God.'

Ok, I admit. That's a new one.

I have met people who have claimed to have had dreams that agree with their particular beliefs. Firstly, it's awfully convenient to have had dreams that agree with beliefs. Secondly, there is no proof that those dreams were real. Dream claims are the weakest possible form of evidence.

“Say, nice beaver!”

“Thanks, I just had it stuffed.”

Those children being indoctrinated to believe that their teacher's worldview is universally shared and absolutely correct is appalling.

They say stupid things and then get angry when you reject those stupid things they say.

[GalaxySid]

Children who parrot the terrible arguments of their role models hurt even more.

That call and response service was extremely cult-like. That pastor’s “followers” are very brainwashed. Scary.

God hasn't seen my heart, a surgeon has.

If you accept any of their arguments for their god, you have to accept all arguments for all gods and magical beings.

[BillGarrett]

What's great is that any two people who use any of these arguments can meet each other, hear each other's particular denominational beliefs, and then denounce each other as heretics. It's easy to claim you speak the truth, until you're put in a room with other people who say the same thing.

You can't have something that isn't made of anything, can't change(time), and isn't anywhere. It's literally just nothing.

They’re quite happy to ascribe winning a football match or a country music award to their god but you can’t take the opposite view when something negative occurs?

[nupetball]

Theists always have the most profound and thought provoking statements. Can’t get enough of this channel!!!

'Just look at the beavers' does seem a bit more exciting than 'Just look at the trees.'

I had a difficult time understanding the African preacher's accent. I had to replay it and listen carefully. He did repeatedly say that God will preserve you alive. I do not know of anyone who Godfrey has kept alive. He also quotes Jeremiah 49:11. He forgot Jeremiah 20:7 "Oh, God, Thou hast deceived me, and I was Dad used to say of the Arabs "Don't tell the people the truth. Tell them what they want to hear." I used to debate with a Mormon fellow. No matter what logical arguments I offered, he always had a rebuttal -inevitably religious. I finally realized "Never argue with a fool, lest you discover the fool is doing the same."

One would think the almighty creator of the universe could show himself to everyone, but strangely enough he let this low hanging fruit to be his spokespersons...

Well Kent Hovind saying stupid stuff is par for the course. I did appreciate that painkiller related pun.

Theist say stupid things; In other news bears crap in the woods and water is wet.

For anyone saying "order doesn't come from chaos, " here's an easy experiment you can do at home to demonstrate:

Get you a carton of bb's, or gumballs, etc. (as long as they are roughly similar in size), and a clear container, like a glass jar.
Pour them into the jar, and see how they settle after a few "layers" build up. Try adding bb's in handfuls, too, just to change it up.

With enough bb's in the jar, you will see a hexagonal pattern arising as they settle into place. None of them were placed (in this case) with any design; they were poured/dropped in randomly (chaos) and naturally, based on their shape, have arranged themselves into a pattern (order).

If this simple experiment can show order arising from chaos, then why should similar principles not also extend to the broader universe at large? Diamonds form naturally, and are lattices of carbon atoms. The metal spoon in your kitchen is a crystalline lattice which formed by simply melting the metal and letting it cool. Order without specific design occurs all the time, all around us.
