Godspeak keeps an open ear and eyes to capture those words of religious lunacy. Each quote is accompanied by our best attempt to decipher the delusion, and is categorized and rated on a scale of 1 to 10 for stupidity, delusion, cowardice, weakness, and crankiness – with a rating of 10 being the most offensive!

Here’s an example as spewed by someone I know…

They’re Not Real Christians!

Source:

From an online chat session with a former co-worker. I asked her if those who are saved can sin all they want and still avoid hellfire. [1] After her response, I asked the question again but cited the specific example of a saved Christian who has just raped and murdered a little girl. [2]

What she said [unedited]:

“They still wouldn’t go to hell – unless they renounced their faith.” [1]

“Someone who is saved wouldn’t do such a thing.” [2]

What she really meant:

“I’m a weak, fallible human being and I will no doubt backslide many times throughout my life. But I’m a hypocrite and have self-serving motives for protecting my salvation at all costs.” [1]

“Any lucid, rational, clear thinking person KNOWS that no just god would ever spare such an evil person from eternal hellfire because they uttered a few heartfelt words of confession and submission while sending decent, honest people to hell forever because they didn’t. But for me to concede such a patently obvious thing would destroy the very foundation of my dichotomous, hypocritical belief system.” [2]
