THE WALL OF SHAME

This debate is a place for people to post the most absurd, erronious, illogical things you see people saying on this site.

For example:

"Atheism is a religion."

or

"I am opposied to vegetarianism because it kills animals."

 or things like 

THIS

I don't know if this will catch on like The Music Box, but it's worth a try.

I would discourage people from posting the name of the person who said the quote so as to not become a place for mockery (more than it already is ;)).

Take your pick: 311 shameful arguments just a click away!

But, just to stick to the purpose of the debate, here's a favorite of mine:

-All atheists believe in evolution, which means they don't believe in morality and think we should all act like animals.

-Atheists try to shift the burden of proof unfairly upon theists (ie, atheists make the wild and unprovable claim that God does not exist, and then unfairly expect us Christians to prove that He DOES exist)

-The Bible says atheism is wrong, and the Bible is always right (see: Genesis 1:1, Psalms 14:1, Psalms 19:1, Romans 1:19-20)

-Some famous atheists have shown they occasionally have doubts about their disbelief, which proves that all atheists really do believe in God. Of course, no Christian has ever doubted the existence of God.

-Everybody who has ever been in the army will tell you that there are no atheists in foxholes. That is, once they are in danger of death, the atheist will strip himself of his irrational disbelief in God, and come to admit he believed in God all along. Only liberal slimebags like MSNBC report otherwise.

-Communism, which is inherently evil, is founded by atheism, and all atheists are probably secret communists.

-Because we can think of the existence of God, God must obviously exists, and therefore atheists are illogical.

-Everything in the universe shows obvious and undeniable signs that it was created by a mind far superior to our own.

-a lot of mass murderers were atheists, and all atheists, having no morality to guide them, are only a bad day away from going on a genocide spree. There have no exactly zero cases on Christian mass murderers throughout all of history.

-no atheists contribute to charitable causes, and all Christians do. This is because of atheist's beliefs in Darwinism.

-I quote: "The Barna Group found regarding atheism and morality that those who hold to the worldviews of atheism or agnosticism in America were more likely, than theists in America, to look upon the following behaviors as morally acceptable: illegal drug use; excessive drinking; sexual relationships outside of marriage; abortion; cohabitating with someone of opposite sex outside of marriage; obscene language; gambling; pornography and obscene sexual behavior; and engaging in homosexuality/bisexuality" Despicable.

-I quote: "

Atheism The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs."

-atheists don't believe in miracles, although many Christian philosophers disagree.

-atheism cannot explain the origins of the universe, therefore God exists.

-Atheists have more mental and physical health problems than Christians. This is attributed to theists having something more to life for. Therefore, God exists.

-Friedrich Nietzsche went crazy and was an atheist, therefore atheism drove him insane (although there is an ongoing debate on the matter...)

-Countries with large numbers of atheists have higher suicide rates, therefore atheism makes you want to kill yourself. Of course they would take the easy way out, not realizing like normal people that God sends suicide cases to hell. Also, developed nations also tend to have higher rates of both atheism and suicide, so we must conclude that technology and wealth are evil.

-Sigmund Freud said religious belief was unhealthy, but many doctors think Freud is wrong, therefore atheism is evil.

-many famous atheists tell lies, therefore atheists are deceptive.

-Fewer people believe now as opposed to x number of years ago (usually around twenty) in evolution, therefore evolutionary theory is wrong and by proxy atheism is wrong, since it's the same thing.

-Non-Christians are more likely to believe in silly superstitions, like palm reading and astronomy (note: Non-Christian = atheist). Christians believe only in the cold, hard logical of the world around them.

-Some theologians say atheist is on the decline, therefore it is. However, this is no reason to lose caution of the atheist threat!

-There are a number of anti-atheist blogs (isn't that good to know? )

-there is a pro-atheist bias in the liberal controlled media, but as we know from stated above that atheism is on the decline, this hardly matters.

-Causes of atheism (I quote): moral depravity, rebellion, superficiality, error, state churches, poor relationship with father, division in religion, learned times, peace, and prosperity, negative experiences with theists, scientism.

-atheists question why evil exists since God is good, but don't ask why good exists if God isn't real.

-early scientists were Christian, therefore Christianity owns a monopoly on science and atheists are not allowed to say there is discrepancy between the beliefs in the two.

-Sir Francis Bacon said he'd rather belief in any silly old legend then believe that God doesn't exist

-Some Christian apologists have problems with the beliefs of Bertrand Russell

-Creation scientists tend to win creation-evolution debates

-Notable atheists have converted to Christianity. The reverse never happens.

A poll found these results =

Position: This group does not at all agree with

my vision of American society: I would disapprove if my child wanted

to marry a member of this group: Atheist 39.6% 47.6%

Therefore, the majority of normal people clearly know atheism is evil.

-atheists criticism of the Bible can't be trusted because, I quote: "a thorough understanding of the Bible -- and this would actually apply to any complex work from any culture -- requires specialized knowledge, and a broad range of specialized knowledge in a variety of fields.... Not even most scholars in the field can master every aspect"

Of course, I quote: The Bible is still loved by millions, read by millions, and studied by millions.

-atheists make bad arguments on the internet, says Christian apologist.

-atheists try to convert young people to atheism over the internet. Christians, of course, never stoop to such behavior.

-Nearly a quarter or a third of philosophy professors are theists, therefore, I quote: "God is not 'dead' in academia; he returned to life in the 1960's and is now alive and well in his last academic stronghold, philosophy departments."

-atheists do not really exist, they just pretend that they don't believe in God.

-atheism brought upon the French Revolution, one of the most evil events of all of history.

-atheists make up a small percentage of the world population, therefore it is wrong.

-a lot of famous people said bad stuff about atheists

I'm sure everybody knows who said this.

I defy anyone who can find a bigger fail than this, circular logic at its best.

I just don't get how one can miss the point so blindly.

Evolution is not a fact but rather a big joke.

Just what I found to have some ridiculous arguments in them/ found them ridiculous.

I've been saying that Obama is the Anti-Christ since before his election. ;)

There's no need for gay marriage. Gays can marry whoever they want. Just like everybody else.. As long as it's someone of the opposite sex. ;)

If God was OK with abortions, fetuses would come equipped with a little string..., like tampons ;)

Too many to put....

And since you told me not to call anyone out, I won't. :(

Though I will say SOMEONE called me an atheist about four or five times after I told them I wasn't each time. In the same debate too.

That took some ignorance.

I would love to see this evidence that any of them exist, let alone their colour.

I don't see how that comment was shameful.

The fact that the post was intended for humour was obvious, and yet he misconstruded it as a serious claim. Later, he did indeed seem to regret it.

Oh believe me, it was very shameful indeed, I'm still slightly irritated now.
