You got it wrong, as long as people are crazy enough to believe in that evil, sexist mad invisible man in the sky it's still funny. Like an idiot who keeps sticking a fork in a power socket, just keeps sticking it in there and keeps getting electrified without learning "THIS IS BAD!". Hysterical!FernandoV said:

Buddhism doesn't accept the idea of god; instead it focuses on the fact that there was a guy who done good things after a childhood of privilege and luxury, and like that guy(budha) buddhists believe that their purpose is to become better humans.Ammutseba said:
So there, in my opinon, its the most human philosophy ever followed
OT: All conspiracy theorists, and religions which diregard and deny fact.
For the whole "lol religion one", disprove that a god (not in the christian sense, just a creator) exists, then you can laugh at it, until that point, you're in the "smug c*nt" category
but back on topic, scientology, they actually know it was written by a sci-fi writer, its like basing a religion off of the cat in the hat or something

I'm sure someone has already pointed it out but my god you spelled 'Stupidest' horrendously in the title.
Anyway the craziest theories I hear about are, pretty much all of them. All theories are a bit crazy to begin with, like Valve leaving clues about HL3/Ep3.

And I've learned that Buddhism isn't a religion as much as a religious lifestyle, so it doesn't count.Akichi Daikashima said:
Actually, atheists aren't the ones making a claim that something is, thus the burden of proof is on those who claim that there IS a creator.shadowkrai said:
If you go with the whole "can't be disproven" mindset you can believe whatever you want, regardless of how nutty it may be.
However, I can disprove that this creator is almighty, for those who believe that:
If the creator is almighty, can he create an object too heavy for him to lift?
If the creator can create an object too heavy for him to lift, he's not almighty because he can't lift it. If he can't create an object too heavy for him to lift, he's not almighty because he can't create it.
Does it matter? Who cares if someone denies it or not ?requisitename said:
Also: so many rude anti-religions posts , geez , can't a guy believe what he wants anymore ?
OT: i got nothing , i don't like to bash on people theories , unless they just made it up out of thin air . At least religions base their theories on a book . What grinds my gears are the people that haven't even read the book and comment on religion OR people who HAVE read the books and ignore certain parts . Either believe the whole thing or non at all . In that perspective atheist > most religion people .
I am religious and refuse to talk about it to most religious people due to that fact alone.
Haha, I wish I never asked.Spartan1362 said:
Firstly, it matters because that is the topic of the thread.krazykidd said:
Despite thinking your first comment is quite silly, I can't help but agree with your second point. On a forum filled with video game and 'geek' culture enthusiasts, are you really surprised at it though?
Also, you don't like to bash theories? Even ones that are evidently rediculous? Timecube? No?
Back on topic, I forgot to add that I personally dislike the whole "Religion is stupid because Science is perfect" argument. Not quite a 'theory' but, in my eyes at least, pretty crazy. People like some kind of grand narrative to believe in. For some that is a religion, for others it is the 'rules' and 'laws' of science. Both have their issues, and both have their blind faithful.
<font color=red>On 9/11: ...What's 9 + 11? 20! What's 20 with out the 0? 2! How many planes were there?! 2!
<font color=red>On Titanic: ...What are boats made out of? METAL! What are iceburgs made out of? ICE! What material is stronger, METAL OR ICE?!?1 To further explain my theroy, I once put ice in a bowl. In another bowl, I put some metal spoons. Guess what one melted faster?!?! I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the bowls! How did the Titanic sink if ice melts faster than metal? IT WAS ALIENS.
<font color=red>On 9/11 Again: How many seconds does it take to count to 9/11? ...9/11!
I'M THE ONLY REAL PERSON! EVERYONE ELSE IS A ROBOT!

Yes, it matters. It's a particularly nasty form of anti-Semitism. If you can't see why saying the Holocaust never happened and the Jewish community is making it all up in order to further their own agenda(s) is bad, I'm afraid I can't help.krazykidd said:
I've always accepted the existence of religion. For some people, believing in a higher power is the only thing that makes their life even remotely bearable, and there's also the fact that Science has proven us to be so small and insignificant that I can definitely see some people take Lovecraft's stance on the matter and just run the other way, screaming "Heretics!" all the while. Committing to the idea that there's no God and that there never will be requires just as much a leap of faith as believing in God does, if not more.
The irony is, of course, that the "leap of faith" being used here equals testing and trusting in your own moral principles and your skills to be able to maintain a sense of relevance, reward and purpose in the absence of some sort of omnipotent power capable of smiting the wicked and rewarding the just.
That said, I don't understand people who get offended about the mention of God as an unsound theory in a thread about unsound theories. As I've made it clear above, you've got every right in the world to believe in God. Belief, however, is not proof. Science concerns itself with proof and has the ability to adapt itself to what has been proven or disproved. Considering this, the only way you could get me to believe in God is if you factually proved me that God exists, using empirical evidence. The Bible simply doesn't count, as it, like every other religious text in existence, was written by human hands, for use by other humans.
Belief, however, is only as malleable as the believer can be. Someone with a relaxed stance on Christianity can and will accept that the Earth is several billion years old and that we'll never be able to geographically pinpoint the Garden of Eden. Someone with a hard-lined stance will be inflexible and, when countered, will be at a loss for options.
What happens, when hard-liners are stumped? They repeat themselves, only louder. If that doesn't work, the insults come out. Case in point, the Westboro Baptist Community.
So, honestly, while the first reply could've been handled with a bit more tact, believers claiming to be offended because someone dared to post a comment belittling God are acting a bit out of their depth. God will always and forever will be up for grabs and open to criticism as a mythological figure and concept.
That said? Jeeze. There's a ton of stuff that feels patently ridiculous. The Time Cube theory's already been mentioned a few times, but it's entertaining as all Hell. The idea that the world is controlled by lizard-folk always reminds me of "Conan the Adventurer" and of how Rath-Amon and his cronies were all serpent-men in disguise - and then there's the current guff about the Mayan calendar and 2012.
The Mayans were actually pretty smart, seeing as they made calendars that were designed to last *thousands* of years. Yet here we are, wasting paper every damn year to print another set of calendars and yearly agendas... The Mayan Fifth World ends in 2012, that much is true, but this whole nonsense really comes from Western society's tendency to interpret the term "End" as being complete and all-encompassing.
I just don't get it. If it's so easy to go about ranting the end of the world when we've scientifically proven that the sun has enough juice left in it for several billion more years, what's keeping us from developing a religious system where the end of the world happens every night?
That'd be pretty cool, wouldn't it? "Oh God, no! Look, the sun is setting! Look everyone; the sun is setting! Lock yourselves in and pray! Pray that the Lord will make another day for us to enjoy! PRAY, DAMN YOU!"
Although, my personal favourite would probably be the LHC-induced black hole nonsense. The densest thing to come out of the LHC was quark-gluon plasma, not some potentially world-consuming void. Not to mention that even if micro black holes did form, their size would make them collapse in on themselves eventually.

I think it is funny when people use logic bombs like that to argue against religion. All it really proves is that you have never actually investigated the issue in any detail and therefore your conclusions are invalid. Not saying you are wrong, just that, based on your comment, have not done your homework and we can safely ignore your opinion on the issue.Ammutseba said:
I personally think it is sad there are so many people on the escapist that are so quick to openly mock and belittle the religious. We appear to be a highly intolerant and mean spirited group.
So now , a person is not allowed to not believe something that everyone else believes? Isn't that the same kind of logic that caused the deaths of millions of people in the middle ages ?( Religious crusades)requisitename said:
A person should be allowed to believe or not believe what ever they chose, isn't that eveyones right?
The rise of the centaur nation(which is supposed to be in the future but was told in the past tense)
"One day, a south african* male was beset and raped by a female horse. This horse gave birth to a half-man, half-horse later called a centaur. The centaur was as intelligent as a man and capable of reproducing asexually, so a nation of centaur quickly rose up and conquered south africa and surrounding nations, forming their own state. The nations of the world played politics despite the growing threat**, allowing the centaur time to enslave the humans they conquered. The centaur siezed the human weaponry (particularly guns) but the human slaves helped to double the firepower of the centaur by riding on their backs and carrying weaponry of their own, often machine guns and rocket launchers. This allowed them to conquer even more land, even more quickly.
Eventually Egypt, sick of the political manuverings of the western nations, captures an elephant and had it mate with a human. This elephant gave birth to elephant-men but the sheer size of the elephant head on the human body snapped it's neck before it could reproduce. Other nations attempted similar experiments, from the Japanese cat-people (conquered and taken as horrendously cute concubines) to the Crab-People of Colorado (banished beneath the earth) and even the Venogals of Australia, made from making a creature one part man, one part Fierce Snake (aka Inland Taipan) and one part platypus (killed with extremely prejudiced fire)
The Russians had the greatest success with their Arctic Wolf hybrids, but when the Centaur started throwing tennis balls-"
I had to stop him there, because it was so ridiculous at this point that i couldn't drive properly. You know you're screwed when there is a man with a rocket launcher riding a centaur with an AK-47 charging at you.

*he was very adamant on elephant-people being their first opponents which basically demanded they start in africa
