Low hanging fruit, but “The next president of the United States is Donald J. Trump”. And I heard that shit twice. The second time was definitely the dumber of the two, but the drop off from 2nd to 3rd dumbest thing is about as wide as the known universe. It’s cartoonish in its absurdity.
But the dumbest thing I’ve heard personally from an individual is that unbaptised babies who die go straight to hell. I was told this by a woman who liked to preach Jesus’ eternal unconditional love in my town centre. I’m atheist, but by default. Like, I didn’t read my way into it or anything, I just completely lack any impulse to believe despite being made to go to Catholic mass every week for 17 years. All that’s to say that I don’t have particular animosity towards believers, but that kind of believer can suck a dirty dog dick.
Apart from it being insanely unfair to babies - roasting away like a rotisserie chicken without even the consciousness to know what’s going on - it’s also beyond evil to tell that to believers who’ve lost children soon after birth due to disease before they even leave the hospital, or have miscarried through no fault of their own, etc. Strangely, I never hear that argument from the anti-abortion religious fanatics. That is, “don’t abort the baby, or it’ll be sent straight into Satan’s Big Green Egg!”
Imagine being Satan, and having a daily influx of humans too young and unformed to even walk when prodded by a demon’s pitchfork. Even a supremely evil entity like he’s alleged to be would have to wonder just what the fuck is going on with heavenly bureaucracy for this to be the way things are done.
The thing is, the entire concept of hell (and a “loving” god) starts to break down as soon as you start thinking through scenarios like that. Probably why anti-choice people never use it as an argument.
It honestly makes me think if Hell is real, it is by far the more reasonable place to want to end up. Heaven is only getting the people that not only believe that but think it’s good. Hell is getting a shit load of normal people and babies (who grow up in hell…? probably adapt pretty well and can teach us the ropes). Like, sure we get the non-religious terrible people and assholes… But we have those on earth. At least a large chunk of the assholes we normally deal with would be in heaven.
most “media” about hell/heaven is even aethiests/ non believers go to either the 2 realms. evangelicals and ultra-conservative christians sees it as a black and white issue. the first one makes more sense, than 'doing very “christian things”"
