    I once met a guy who became a priest because he had a religious experience while talking to a chair.

    The weirdest one I ever got was in highschool, someone said “how can you not believe in god, god is love” and I still don’t understand how that’s meant to be an argument.

      Hahaha I love that this is written as “he had a religious experience WHILE talking to a chair”, not “he had a religious experience AND talked to a chair”. Dude’s just having a normal conversation with a chair and then something weird and unexplained occurred that put him on the path to god. I wonder if the chair was as convinced.

      That kind of phrasing always seems they assume that not believing is the same as rejecting and therefore you too believe in the existence of God/god.

      They just completely miss the point.
