Tweet Round-up

When someone says "It's against my religion," I hear "It's against my superstition."

The Catholic Church is completely infallible to those who own bibles and not history books.

Most women would never spend money at a business with the hiring policies of the Church, yet they often give when the basket comes around. I don't get it.

When met with an apologetic claim, I ask "why do you think that?" More often than not, it is because they were told to.

The more debates I have with Christians, the more sure I am that they are wrong. I always think that I couldn't be more sure.

"Moral perfection" doesn't equal mass killings in my book, just in the holy book.

Apologists have a lot of certain knowledge about God's nature, power & motivation until a hard question is asked. Then its all mysterious.

I like to think the Arthur Fonzarelli was an aaaaaatheist.

Jesus preaching the Golden Rule is his validation of subjective morality. What I want done to me may not be the same as what you want done to you.

Apologist when posed a yes or no question in which the answer would expose flaws in their argument: "Read this 200 page book for the answer." (Related: What kind of diabolical BS artist can give you the run-around for 200 pages?)

Calling Islam the religion of peace is like calling FOX News fair and balanced.

God, if you exist, you could make a decent case for yourself if you strike me down in the next minute. Otherwise, I'm so going to mock you.

Still alive. (See last tweet.) God, if you exist, you suck.

How easy was it to offer "God did it" as an explanation for everything when we didn't know things? About as easy as it is to check Wikipedia now that we do.

As an ex-Christian, I feel retrospectively dumb.

When the CAPTCHA I need to fill before posting a comment on a Christian blog is "FUCYOU" it's time to call it a night.

When gullibility is called "faith" and is considered a virtue, it's clear that atheism has a major branding problem.

Deleting your previous post, disabling my comments and blocking me does not improve your argument.

The gospels are loosely based on real events like Field of Dreams is loosely based on Baseball.

You’re not blessed, just lucky. You’re not cursed, just unlucky. Random stuff happens unguided by a fortune god in the sky.

Don't value faith, value trust. Trust can be earned, therein lies its value.

Apologists hate it when I go off script of their William Lane Craig handbook.

Dear creationists, mythology IS taught in schools, so let your religion die out already.

Dear Lord, please grant your followers the wisdom to quit believing in you. #paradoxicalprayer

If people really believed in God, I imagine more would be screaming “GOOOOOD!” to the sky similar to how Kirk yells “KHAAAAN!”

So...God makes a place of eternal torment to send those who refuse to believe he is a loving god? Awesome plan.

Mock the belief, not the believer.

If I continue debating apologists, I may develop a superiority complex.

Attempts at Humor on a Friday

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I occasionally think of something funny and then post this crap instead.

"Eat more beef." works as an anti-Chic-fil-a campaign and as a gay slogan.

"I'm totally Darwinning this debate!" ~ Richard Dawkins

Ironically, psychic mediums usually wear a "large."

A priest is like a ventriloquist with a dummy who has laryngitis.

One of the only things atheists and Christians agree on is the metaphor that Christians are sheep.

Jesus made his disciples "fishers of men," which is ironically a great name for a gay bar.

Atheist sandwiches are easy to swallow, and never full of baloney. (Slogan for my new line of infi-delis)

The Bible audiobook would make more sense if read by a dyslexic gypsy with Tourettes.

Christian's should love gays! They almost never have abortions.

I wonder what faith Robin is. "Holy over use of religious terminology, Batman!"

Not taking your religion seriously is a coping mechanism. If I knew you meant what you said, I'd have to chase you with a butterfly net.

The only people with enough diverse knowledge to know what a polymath is are polymaths.

This commenter on my blog must pray more than a faith healing hypochondriac.

Why don't Christians ever call God by his proper name? You'd think he's Voldemort or something.

Has anyone seen my faith? I know I left it around here somewhere...

This, That, And The Shmother.

I’m liking this atheist blogging thing. Whenever a religious debate takes a turn to the typical arguments, which happens quite often, I can simply direct my opponent to a rebuttal post. I’ve already linked to my First Cause article a couple times. It’s like syndicated debating.

Anywho, I’m on Twitter now. Actually, I’ve been on Twitter as @Grundy since 2007, but that is a general purpose profile. @DeityShmeity will be for friendly religion conversation, debate, and, yes, plugging this very site. Feel free to follow one, both, or neither.

I’ve noticed modern apologetics sites have been stealing sciencey words and projecting religious terms onto the nonbelievers. They claim creationism is reasonable, Christianity breeds critical thinking and atheism is a faith. It doesn’t take a psych degree to know what that means. Somewhere in their “immortal” souls, they know that they are wrong. Why else assign words like faith and religion to the opposition if they didn’t know the connection to those words is a weakness?

Some of my commenters are using commenting platforms like Disqus and Intense Debate. If you think that is something worth implementing here, let me know.

And finally, a last supper for old school gamers. Enjoy.
