  • Why does Satan do his work invisibly?

    Why doesn't he just appear to people and say, "Hi. I'm Satan. Do what I say or else I'll kill you."

  • MORMONS: Why do you perform baptisms for the dead? Isn't that disrespectful?

    The dead have no say in this. It's not right at all. You guys suck.

  • Time to reveal a SECRET: Did you know that the "Illuminati" is really the Mafia?

    It's their little pet name for themselves. The Mafia runs the world.

  • How did Noah and his family survive the stench of 40 days worth of animal turds?

    Was there any windows on that ark? I think they would have choked to death on fecal fumes.

  • Why didn't God realize that it would be a bad idea to cast the rebellious angels down to Earth?

    God should have known that the fallen angels would just try to coerce the very same people that God wants to save into turning against him. Why wouldn't he create a special prison just for them and put them in there? I mean, seriously God, duh. What were you thinking?

  • Why don't believers understand that only one church/religion would exist if it really was THE TRUTH?

    The fact that so many religions exist is proof that NONE of them are right.

    Any church that had the one and only true teachings would easily shut down all competing religions simply by presenting the evidence of such undeniable truth. That's kinda how the truth works, ya know? You can't argue against it. Notice how you never hear anyone claiming that the sun is actually cold. Because we all know it's hot. We experience it every day. There's no debate.

    Any church that is really "the true church" would also be able to provide the factual details behind it's claims of accuracy, leaving absolutely NO room for debate. It's really that simple. But... that hasn't happened. What does that tell you? It tells you that ALL religions are wrong and ALL religions are misleading their members.

  • Believers: Do you not realize how FLAWED the "complexity requires a designer" argument is?

    You hypothesize that the Earth, the universe, life itself, etc. are all too complex to have just occurred by chance. Therefore, they must have been crafted by the hand of an intelligent creator, right?

    However, this creator would have to be just as complex or even MORE complex than the things he creates. Logically. Correct? So, now we've got a logical contradiction on our hands. If complexity requires a designer, then God - the most complex thing of all - must have also been created by a God above him, and that God was created by a God above him and so on, until you realize the absurdity of this theory which implies an obviously impossible chain of ever higher and higher deities.

    How can you say that the infinitely complex God has just always been, but then suggest that the things that are LESS complex than him, needed to be created? How can you not see that blatant contradiction? Wouldn't it be more likely for the universe to have always existed, rather than a creator, given the fact that the universe is less complex than the supposed designer? Aren't the odds more on the universe's side? And if you're going to side with the even more outlandish theory of God having always been, in spite of the even longer odds, then why dismiss any possible theories for life that are more reasonable?

  • Why haven't religious people realized that God IS NOT the creator of all things?

    The one thing God could not have created, and is therefore DEPENDENT upon, is energy. If energy were to suddenly evaporate into non-existence, God would perish too.

    If God has always existed (according to most believers), that means the energy that fuels his existence has also always existed, and it has existed outside of the necessity of a creator's hand.

    This is also the same energy that fills every single cell in the entire universe. We humans have the same energy inside of us that would also be inside God. Thus, everything could have just spawned from this seemingly infinite energy itself, no deities required.

  • Why do some people (like Gunther and Nelly) go around acting like some kind of e-protectors?

    Are their real lives so shallow and devoid of eventfulness that the only validation they can find for their meager existence is to get online and try to teach those darn trolls a thing or two? Do they not understand that trolls are not really being serious?

  • Why does it matter if someone's "beliefs" are attacked?

    Why do you oversensitive babies make a big deal about that? Who cares about someone's precious little "beliefs"? So what?

    I "believe" cherries taste better than strawberries. Go ahead and tell me I'm stupid for being a cherry lover. I won't cry about it or claim that I'm being persecuted. I'll just keep picking cherries, and keep popping them... right into my mouth.

  • When are all you people (literally ALL of you) going to stop being so damn sensitive?

    Every time someone says something you don't like, you have to pull the victim card and act as if you've been completely disgraced beyond the worst humiliation you've ever endured in your life.

    Every single time you see an opportunity to do so, somehow, it's like the new worst disrespect you've ever experienced. Why don't all you sissies develop a thicker skin and stop shamelessly exploiting the current disgusting trend of political correctness that currently poisons our society? Stop playing the little baby game and just let it slide off your back... OK?

    Like that idiot in my last question who told me to put on my "big boy panties"... while simultaneously acting like a irritated child... quite the contradiction... can you guys please just stop? You're embarrassing ALL of us - humanity in general. We don't need this crap.

  • Christians, do you REALLY believe that God is up in heaven throwing tantrums?

    Pouting like a little kid who didn't get a certain toy for his birthday?

    Blaming all of the world's problems on the beings he created, refusing to take the blame for himself like an absolute coward would?

    Acting as if it's all out of his control, wondering how it all got away from him, angry at all of us for doing exactly what he designed us to do?

    Seriously... do you really, truly believe all that crap?

  • The atheists just embarrassed themselves again on my last question. What's wrong with them?

    Do they not understand that Christians (I'm not one, by the way) only BELIEVE, you know, HAVE FAITH, that God exists? Why do believers have to PROVE that God is real, when it's simply a belief and not necessarily a CLAIM?

    When atheists bring up that burden of proof crap, THEY are the ones who are initiating the competition, thus, they should be the ones to end it by offering proof of the contrary on their own. But no, they just sit there and make snide comments to stroke their own egos... yuck.

  • Why do atheists think they can fool people with their extremely transparent illogical arguments?

    The latest one I've seen is this: "Claiming there is no god is a negative claim, so we atheists don't have to prove anything."

    What a cop-out. It doesn't matter if it is positive or negative. It's a claim, period. That's the bottom line. If you CLAIM there is no God, then the "burden of proof" is on you to PROVE that the existence of a divine creator is not possible within our understanding of the workings of the universe. Can't do it, can you? Nope. That's why you make up silly rules along the way to deflect accountability, such as the excuse I stated at the beginning.

  • Why did Jesus take the punishment for my sins without asking me if it's OK with me first?

    Why didn't Jesus offer me the option of paying the penalty for my own sins? You know, I'm a grown man and I'm strong enough to own up to, and accept the punishment for my mistakes, whatever they may be. Why would Jesus take that away from me?

    So, now I owe him my life, even though I never asked him to help me?

  • If God knew everything that would happen even before it happened, why does he get angry?

    It doesn't make sense to say that God would be angry with certain people, or certain behavior. If he saw all things before they happened, wouldn't he be mad about it right then and there at the beginning? Does God just hold on to the anger until the time comes around when you do the thing that makes him mad, and only THEN shows his anger? Isn't that silly?

    Also, doesn't his anger show that he doesn't have control over the things that happen? How could things happen that make God angry, unless he allowed those anger-inducing things to exist in the first place?

    AND, could an immortal deity even get mad? Isn't anger a mortal emotion? Does it not reveal some degree of weakness?

  • Why do people keep saying "don't let the door hit you on the way out"?

    That saying is incredibly stale. You people don't even realize how dumb it sounds. Why would it even matter if the door was to hit someone as they leave? Who cares? Would it kill them? Why do people think that's such a cool thing to say? Is everyone just lazy? Why do you mimic each other and say the same thing? Can't you exercise a little creativity?

  • My mother died." "I'm sorry." "Wha... Why? Did you have something to do with it?!?"?

    Why do people always apologize for things they had nothing to do with? You humans drive me bonkers. I can't wait to get off this planet and return home... to some other place which I'm obviously from, since it's clear I don't fit in here with you people.

  • About soap: How does the fragrance get left behind on your skin, while germs and oils so easily wash away?

    I'm perplexed. Perhaps I'm just stupid though.

    Maybe you geniuses around here can enlighten me, and please, be as mean and condescending as possible. I know you'd do that anyway, but I'm just letting you know it's OK... :)

  • Why do some girls show off a lot of cleavage or wear really short skirts and then get mad when men look?

    They do it on purpose so that men will look, and then when we do, they act like we're perverts or something...

    Why? Why are you setting up men for this sadistic trap?!?!
