As many of you have probably experienced, there are a lot of things Christians say — out of “love,” they always claim — that are supposed to help you find God. Instead, they often do the opposite, reminding you of just how messed up religion can be.

A lot of people on Twitter have been sharing some of the worst things they’ve heard from religious people using the hashtag #ThingsTheGodlySay.

And in a salute to Jack Handey, we decided to put some of our favorites on a pleasant background… to remind you that even the worst faith-based ideas can be said with a smile.

Are you inspired to find Jesus yet?
