So I was skimming through a discussion thread on Ebaums last night (hey, I was bored) when I ran across a quote that was so thoroughly and mindlessly inane and stupid that I couldn't get it out of my head. So I googled the quote, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that maybe I would find out that the person of origin was a ten year old or a mental patient or perhaps even Gary Busey. Yeah, that would make sense.Nope. Turns out, there's a website that compiles numerous examples senseless meanderings like these from fundamentalist christians. Click the link if you're brave. Here's the one I first ran across (#1), along with a few more precious nuggets of mind-numbing wisdom:
1. Gravity: Doesn't exist. If items of mass had any impact of others, then mountains should have people orbiting them. Or the space shuttle in space should have the astronauts orbiting it. Of course, that's just the tip of the gravity myth. Think about it. Scientists want us to believe that the sun has a gravitation pull strong enough to keep a planet like neptune or pluto in orbit, but then it's not strong enough to keep the moon in orbit? Why is that? What I believe is going on here is this: These objects in space have yet to receive mans touch, and thus have no sin to weigh them down. This isn't the case for earth, where we see the impact of transfered sin to material objects. The more sin, the heavier something is.
2. If u have sex before marriage then in Gods eyes u are married to that person if a man rapes a woman in Gods eyes they are married it sucks for the girl but what can we do.
3. What is called 'Science' today and 'scientists' consist of the same old gang of witch doctors, sorcerers, tellers of tales, the 'Priest-Entertainers' for the common people. 'Science' consists of a weird, way-out occult concoction of jibberish theory-theology... nothing good has ever come from 'science' --- In fact, technology is not in any way related to the web of idiotic scientific theory. ALL inventors have been anti-science. The Wright brothers said: "Science theory held us up for years. When we threw out all science, started from experiment and experience, then we invented the airplane."
4. To say the Bible was written by men and may contain inaccuracies completely contradicts the word of the Bible.
5. A missionary I knew watched a bullet headed for him do a RIGHT ANGLE before it got to him.
6. So you think if no one believed in any religion there would be no wars or fighting? i think it would be worse. i know if i didn't fear god's judgement i would have killed many many times.
These people are living and breathing among us. They actually exist (unlike gravity). Be very afraid.
