I once had a student ask me why the British soldiers were called redcoats during the American Revolution since they didn’t have colors back then and everything was black and white.

Reasonable question. If your water comes from a well run by electricity, as we had growing up, you get only one flush in a power outage.

Well Jesus also preached an apocalyptic message that the end was imminent. So when that didn’t happen, people improvised based on other things he said.

"What day is Cinco de Mayo on?" asked my Yankee ex-MIL.

I told her that "Cinco de Mayo" translates to "Fourth of July".

Please explain the Crusades


Muslims kept attacking Christian pilgrims to the holy land. Christians fought back at the urging of the Pope. The Pope sweetened the deal by offering forgiveness for warriors who take part. Part of the “salvation by good works” theme that Catholics have never shied from.

Don’t give any shite like Protestants were pacifists.

Some girl in highschool asked how Russia was able to hang the iron curtain across all of Europe. She actually thought it was a literal curtain

One of these days, you will invoke the use of common sense and actually understand when the New Testament was written. Not by using the infantile excuse for being an atheist.

Toastmaster's. We were required to participate as a sales team to enhance our public speaking abilities. The Marketing team was dragged in as well.

One of the literature designers stood to present her introduction speech. Halfway through she states that because she is a Military Brat she is a liberal.

VP is doing the critiquing of the speeches that day. "Ray!" "Sir" "You are a military brat and southern raised correct?" "Yes sir" "Are you a liberal?" "No sir." "Why not?" "My Father worked for a living as a CIA uniformed Officer. Her father is an officer. It is a well known fact that once the rank of Major is reached, your mental capability drops 20 points." I was single at the time. VP says "I think you two were meant for each other, you should date." "I don't think so, I'd kill her within two weeks."

I have an entire notes file of dumb or funny stuff my kids have said. They are still young, so some of it is excusable. One of the boys was 11, he was looking for a book to read. I had the Count of Monte Cristo on the shelf and suggested that. I said it was written by the same guy who wrote The Three Musketeers, and I asked him if he heard of that. He said "yeah, they're blind". No, I think you are thinking of something else, buddy.

Christ did not teach us that we have to have another flawed human intercede for us. He also taught the opposite of what that catholic church does, hoard riches that could cure world hunger.
The Catholic religion of current times is based on hypocrisy and greed, not Jesus.

Found the one. This post right here.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever read, and there isn’t any possible way someone who breathes without assistance truly believes this.
