Craziest thing you've ever heard a 'fundie' Christian say?

i just stumbled upon a particularly bonkers slice of homophobic bigotry even for a christian fundie.

""The abuse of children by Catholic priests, I contend, …is gay men, and the Gay Establishment, using the church for their gratification while simultaneously blaming the church for what certain gay men have inflicted.’"

(Bruce T, The death of right and wrong, 2003 Three Rivers Press, New York p224)

anyone got a quotation from an even more bonkers Christian?

    Anything from the Phelps group, Pat Robertson, Falwell (though dead, his quotes live on)... pretty much any "conservative" christian televangelist who claims to "know" ANY god or anything about any god....

    Personal faves are:

    "Satan planted those fossils to confuse people into not believing in god"

    "Pagans worship Satan - they know this, they just don't want to admit it"

    "Atheists/Pagans/Non-Christians, deep down, KNOW our god exists"

    Basically any generalization that has been taken from BS propaganda from leaders like Phelps, Robertson, the Catholic Church (though they did more of this during the Inquisitions)... they just repeat what a "leader" has said as if god came down himself and told them.

    I'm just glad those type of people are becoming the minority.

    It's not a quotation, but I remember visiting a Fundamentalist church and sitting through an absolutely horrifying sermon in which a pastor advocated beating infants. If babies cry, then a demon is making them tell lies. If you pick up a crying child and the child isn't truly in danger, then the baby was lying and needs a whipping. I was nearly crying myself when that sermon was done out of compassion for the children entrusted to such monsters. I saw several parents hit their children at that service. I strongly support religious tolerance as long as people's beliefs aren't harming anyone, but these beliefs were plainly harmful and dangerous.

    "Charles Darwin was stupid and wrong about the THEORY of evolution because he believed everything came came from a rock" (always an emphasis on the word 'theory')

    I had to point out to him that Newton also believed in alchemy and Einstein didn't accept quantum mechanics. It didn't change his asinine argument at all, they all seem to be completely devoid of any personal research into subjects that they already have pre-conceived ideas about.

    I find the ones who say the King James Version of the Bible is "divinely inspired" and the only legitimate English Translation to use are a bit crazy.

    "First off, I disrespectfully and emphatically disagree with your presentments about the King James Bible and those, like myself, who stand firm in our belief that it alone is the word of God, without error and, thereby, endowed with the absolute authority of Almighty God himself over our lives." http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/kjvcult.htm

    This guy is saying the the KJV is better than the original language documents.

    With love in Christ.

    Actually... the DUMBEST thing I've heard a Protestant say is that "Catholics worship the Pope and/or Mary"

    Why is this the DUMBEST? Well, because they have no understanding of the word prayer or the types of prayer. --- Look up Latria, Dulia, & Hyperdulia....

    “The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." ~ Pat Robertson

    As for R&S fundie, that would be David/Chris/CJ/Michael (or whatever he's changed his name to now)... “Pagans used to collect ‘magic mushrooms’ from under trees, and they'd hang the mushrooms over the fire to dry overnight. Then they'd go into their drug-induced state with them. That is the source of the tree, and why ‘presents’ are under the tree.”

    Why do you wear glasses?

    god gave you vision at a limited range and you defy him by wanting to see more - who do you think you are?

    "Obama has set race relations back by 100 years."

    I heard this last night.

    So since Obama has been in office, we have apparently gone back to openly lynching blacks, segregated water fountains, segregated schools, segregated restaurants, and taken away the right of black women to vote.
