Stepping up gives you one sense of accomplishment, but one-upping someone who’s clearly wrong is a whole other achievement. So this post is dedicated to those who didn’t stay silent when hearing false statements, fake news, or faulty arguments, but decided to cut the BS and do everyone a public service.

Thanks to the r/CleverComebacks subreddit, a community with 830k members that’s constantly growing, we have laid out some of the most razor-sharp comebacks. Scroll down, upvote the sharpest comebacks and be sure to check out our previous post on witty comebacks.

We also spoke to Abigail Paul, an actress, standup comedian and improviser who has given seminars on incorporating theatre techniques for purposes beyond the stage to schools, businesses and organizations all over Germany since 2001. Abigail told us how to improve our comeback skills, starting from learning to be better listeners. Tune in for the interview below!

    In a pandemic, churches are NOT essential. Isn't God supposed to be everywhere? You don't need to go to a certain place or building to worship him or pray. You can do this from the safety of your own home. God gave you a brain, use it!

    Think some forget that not every pregnancy is a viable one. Molar, partial molar, ectopic, severe deformity that would make it impossible for a success living being. Never mind the latter which is pro choice. Regardless of reason, it is definitely a MEDICAL procedure. Secondly, the reason is nobodies damn business!

    Im on the fence when it comes to abortion. I feel both sides have valid points. What i dont understand is why a person who claims to be pro life feels the need to kill an abortion doctor. If they were really pro life they wouldnt be ending them!

    Many churches provide a form of health care, it's just that most people value physical health over mental, social, and spiritual health. That being said, though, most faith groups were able to deliver virtually in order to prevent virus spread at in-person services. Abortions could hardly be delivered virtually.

    God says "You made a building, now my spirit has to be in it" I don't get why there are churches. They're just buildings. You can assign a name to any building. Example. White House for 4 years until January this year: a toilet. A dumpster. If you say so any place can be spiritual. Example: My bathroom. I can call it my shrine, my worship center; therefore, it must be true. YOU make it up. YOU, religious people, decided to make a building, call it a church, a place of worship.

    I live in the UK. I went to Church yesterday. (We wear masks, do social distancing and use hand sanitiser.) I don't think the congregation would fit in your bathroom. Also we have things to help us worship, like a screen for the hymn-words and Bible quotes, so we don't have to handle books and risk passing germs.

    If Wal-Mart can be open, churches should be able to open. When it was 2 weeks, the shut down of churches was reasonable, but now the government has been interfering with the free practice of religion for over a year. How much longer must they remain closed?
