Religious dogma - all of it. Pure BS.

The ridiculous thing is just how much of the world swallows it up.:(

Was once asked by a girl I was working with in US if you could drive from Ireland to Australia.

It's the most cringe worthy, self indulgent rubbish I have ever read.

We all see things every once in a while where all you can do is shake your head and say 'REALLY!?' I'm after seeing a status there on Facebook asking straight up - are unicorns really real!? :eek: She genuinely really believed that they were real!! She's proper disappointed now that she's found out they're only mythical creatures!!
What's the most ridiculous thing/status etc that you've ever seen or heard?

She thought unicorns were real, lol, suppose she thinks dinosaurs actually existed too!!

was literally only taking about a chap i worked with in the US earlier , he couldn't get his head round the fact i was an atheist always had a million questions to put to me to stump me into accepting god was real, he had some absolute crackers such as :

If Gods not real how do you explain electricity - He believed electricity was a gift from god sent to earth through lightning

If people evolved from Monkeys , then why are there still monkeys - TBF i think his understanding of evolution was shaped more by Pokemon then Darwin

If Gods not real who was Jesus dad - Mind was totally blown when i suggested i didn't necessarily believe Jesus ever existed

If Gods not real how do you explain all the people cured of cancer through prayer - didn't have much response for what about all the people who die anyway incl kids despite the prayers , other then the it's god will thing

Best of all though he believed Jesus was European - the reason for this being his "Buddy's" where called Matthew , Mark , Luke and John which are European names and the were Christians, If Jesus was from the middle east his Buddy's would a been called Mohamed or Abu and they would have been Jews or Mooslims .... Evidently missed the part were Jesus was a Jew but i didn't go there.

TBH any grown ass adult who believes any of the religious sh!t is kinda hard to take seriously , its kinda cute when kids have imaginary friends, kinda creepy though when people in their 20's , 30's & 40's let their imaginary friends blind them to facts , reason and control their lives.

A few weeks back, I spotted a guy thumbing for a lift with a chainsaw in one hand.

I'm sure plenty didn't believe me but a video was posted on Facebook last week, same guy... looked like the same chainsaw.

I think I deep fried my brain from reading that..

Feminism. The biggest load nonsense, far worse than traditional religious preachings. To be fair it does act as a great screening process for the bottom of the barrel of society.

Folks who are fully convinced that their opinions and moral standings are not only correct, but also that they are the norm of society and that those who disagree are stupid or immoral.

I saw a sign in a clip of a Dublin Repeal march. It said Witches for Abortion. I wondered if I'd misread it at the time.

Flouride in the water supply is not great. Mass medication via water supply in general is weird. Banned in other countries, for a reason, I'd say.

Great post, however I can't help but think, how is a person this thick (The American lad) gainfully employed? What industry you guys in?

I almost don't believe someone could be that dense but they exist. Less stupid but more ridiculously annoying: my sister was on holiday and hanging out with some brits and had to forcefully explain to one of them that Ireland was not part of Britian. In fairness, they had so many colonies it must be hard to keep track of them all.....

Last year I got my nephew a biggish toy truck for his Bday , later while sitting at the kitchen table talking to my brother I just looked at the box , on it was the warnings :

This truck cannot fly.
This truck is not to be enjoyed aggressively.

Broke our hearts laughing.Thanks China !

Just saw an ad for the RTE series Daniel and Majella's Road Trip. (Daniel O'Donnell and his wife)

So that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard or seen.
