Theists say the dumbest things #1 "Have a Blessed Day"

This was the video that spawned the series "Theists Say the Dumbest Things." It wasn't intended to be any more than just another video thus the second part.

Part one is as the title says.
Part two refers to a no longer active site...please disregard.

You Kinda rant here, but I don't see the point...

It seems to me, all they are doing is wishing for your day to be a good one. Sorta like "Good luck" or something like that... If you have a problem with that, than to you I say this: "FUCK YOU! Have a shitty day! You dirty little PRICK!"

Was THAT better? :D

[KingHeathen]

@dragonddff LOL...yeah, you definitely didn't see the point. Imagine if I came up to you and said, "May your shoes be tadpoles."

Now, while there isn't really anything offensive in that statement, and I mean it with the best of intentions....WHAT THE FUCK does it mean?

I know how to have a "nice" day, or how to "take it easy"...or whatever...But I don't know what is required to "bless" my day. It's not that I'm mad at them for saying it...it just doesn't make sense.

[dragonddff]

@KingHeathen Well normally when things are "Blessed", it's supposed to deter evil... or... Some crap like that. Or at least that's how I've always thought of it. Either way, to me, it seems like a more theistic form of "Have a great day!"

[KingHeathen]

@dragonddff Watch the video again with my previous comment in mind...you'll see why I see the two statement as very different.

[KittyRokher]

very cool, but i think you got bot attacked. It only has a rating of 2. I voted it 5, but I want understand why creationists have to act like kids whenever they are proved wrong, so they go "lalalala, i cant hear you!!!" then spam, flag, rate low, file copyright claims, etc. on atheist videos.

[KingHeathen]

exactly.  If they can't successfully argue against something...they instead just try to censor it.

If you're a "Christian", then wish me a good day, keep religious talk to yourself or your peers. When you say "Have a blessed day" you're telling me a lot about yourself: you're not a mainline Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, you are a generic "American popular religion" believer, a fundamentalist, an evangelical a conservative, probably a delusional radical, who is trying to put his whole world view onto someone else,

IF you wish me a good day, don't push your silly religion on me. Thanks.

When someone tells me to have a blessed day I say: "Hey Why the fuck are you wishing me bad luck today?".

They sually start with the devil talk after that...

[maidofstarstuff]

Whenever someone tells me to have a blessed day, I say, "YOU have a blessed day. I'm having a fucking fantastic day myself."

It might need a little polish, but I hope it gets my point across.

I miss carlin QQ.

This sounds like something that George Carlin said in one of his comedy specials.

[Cafeeine]

Have you had anyone pronounce it "bleh'-sed" rather than "blest". It fuckin' annoys me, as much as those people who stress the final syllable in "crea-TOR" It smacks of indoctrination.

@KingHeathen That's going directly into my little black book of witty atheist comments. "May your shoes be tadpoles" will be the motto of my deconversion center that I open in western Tunisia. Only once they've discovered this expression are they truly free. Thanks, Kingheathen, for the gem.

[dragonddff]

I think I do get where you're coming from, even if I don't understand why. (With my damn min of a Believer)

Basically you're saying that it doesn't make sense to you, feeling as foreign as the "Shoes be tadpoles" thing does to me. I get that, in that context.. Yet, at the same time... It not making sense to you, doesn't make sense to me. (The whole fact I said that pisses me off. I hate saying close minded shit like that... Well, when I'm being serious that is.)
