...I could probably quit working!

Unapologetically (pun intended) swiped from the comments on That Damn Atheist!'s blog, "Most Christians on the R&P Boards Are An Insult to Intelligence":


Please use this list to point out the complete lack of originality, or the predictability of Christians in conversations and debates.

The Pathos or "I pity you, Fool!" group

These statements basically say that the Christian is a superior person who must have pity on all of the poor, lowly unbelievers.


[1] "I'll pray for you."
[2] "Jesus Loves You"
[3] "God Loves You"
[4] "I feel sorry for you."
[5] "Atheists suffer from a mental illness that makes them unable to detect God/Spiritual things."
[6] "Jesus still loves you!"


The "atheism = religion/faith" group

These all boil down to saying that not believing in a religion is the same as believing in one.


[7] "You have to believe in SOMETHING!"
[8] "Everyone worships SOMETHING!"
[9] "It takes a lot more faith to believe in Evolution than it does to believe in God."
[10] "It takes a lot more faith to ignore the evidence of God than it does to believe in him."
[11] "I only wish that my faith in God was as strong as your faith in Atheism/Evolution."
[12] "You may think your happy, but you can only know TRUE HAPPINESS through Jesus Christ."


The "You're stupid, I'm smart, so stop wasting my time..." group

In these clichés, the Christian tells you that you're either blind, stupid, ignorant, or willingly deceiving yourself, despite how much better your argument is than theirs.


[13] "You have already made up your mind, and it's a waste of time to try to convince you."
[14] "You have chosen to be blind to the TRUTH!"
[15] "You have closed your heart off to the TRUTH!"
[16] "You have obviously been deceived by the devil."
[17] "I found Jesus. Why can't you?"
[18] "The fool sayeth in his heart that there is no God!"
[19] "You're obviously running away from God!"
[20] "You're obviously hiding from the truth!"
[21] "Though you say you don't believe, deep down inside, you know there is a God!"


The "God's obvious to me, What's your problem?" group

This group assumes that all nonbelievers have a mental block, or cannot see what it obvious to the believer.


[22] "If there is no God, how do you explain the world we live in?"
[23] "What happened in your life that made you hate God?"
[24] "Of course the Bible sounds like foolishness! Without faith in God, you cannot understand his wisdom!"
[25] "Even though you don't believe it, Jesus/God Loves you!"
[26] "Even though you don't believe it, Jesus/God is REAL!"


The "Your life has no meaning" group

These statements tell the nonbeliever that their life is worthless, pointless, meaningless, or otherwise not worth anything, unless they accept JESUS

[27] "Well, those people were not TRUE Christians..."
[28] "A universe without God is a universe without Hope!"
[29] "Without a God, life is meaningless."
[30] "Christianity is not just the best answer. It is the only answer."
[31] "You have devoted your life to something NEGATIVE (non-Christianity), rather than something POSITIVE (Christianity, of course)."


The "Just you wait..." group

These all basically say that you'll eventually be a believer, when you're old enough, smart enough, have a revelation, etc., etc., etc...

[32] "One day, you will know what THE TRUTH is!
[33] "Some day, God will call you."
[34] "One day you will call to God for help."
[35] "If you simply have faith in him, you will see that God is real."
[36] "I was once like you, a foolish, young, unbeliever..." 

The "Threats of Hellfire" group

These are all empty, pointless threats that even if you can win the debate, you're going to go to hell, so fuck you.

[37] "The day will come when you realize the lord is your only salvation."
[38] "It's too bad that you're going to Hell."
[39] "One day you will have to answer to Jesus Christ Himself, and then it wont be so funny when he throws your unrepentant soul into HELL."
[40] "You had better get right with God now before it's too late."
[41] "Hope you have an asbestos suit, cause you're going to HELL."
[42] "Hope you enjoy your special place in HELL."
[43] "One day, when you're burning in Hell, you'll remember this conversation, and that I warned you!"

I know I'm kinda harsh sometimes, but you'll never see/hear me get snarky when someone says they'll pray for me - except when the offer of prayer is close on the heels of, "You're going to Hell." For a number of reasons, that always gets my dander up. Even so, more often than not I just let the comment lie.

As strong as my opinions about religion may be, I'm not so "militant" an atheist that I take offense at people's sincere wishes for my good health or fortune on the basis of their methods. In fact, coming from you, I truly appreciate it very much! Furthermore, if God's "there," I'd like to  think He'd be more apt to listen to YOUR prayers for me than the prayers of those fixated upon the idea of my burning for an eternity for being exactly as I was "created" - skeptical!

Your prayers, like you, are always welcome here, Reverend Nick. I'm of the opinion that whether or not Jesus was real is completely irrelevant if the goal is to be Christ-like in serving our fellow man in the spirit of unconditional love and kindness. That's you and your spiritual kin in spades, and I daresay if it were you & yours in the position of the vocal, politically influential Christians there'd be a whole Hell of a lot less resistance from us heathens! To that end, in my agnostic atheist way, I ask that you be blessed with strength, courage and comfort. Where it really counts, you're in this battle with us and despite our philosophical differences the goal is the same: an end to human suffering wherever it may be.

"If I had a dollar for every one of these I've heard..."

You could build your own complex and start your own religion in no time! LOL
