“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
Why are people SOOOOO insanely STUPID? And why are so many of the stupid people fundagelical and committed to deliberate dumbness?
I was trolling through Fundies Say The Darndest Things and found this gem:

[Q - If we're made in God's image, why aren't we invisible?]
A- who says he is invisible.. Maybe we just cannot see [...]
Every time I hear about these statistics I cringe to think my grandkids are growing up around this kind of ignorance and stupidity. Yet again, in Meet the Flintstones, we see the results of another recent survey:
• 38 percent said human beings developed over millions of years with God guiding the process and another 12 [...]
I was surprised and pleased when yesterday’s mail brought me Richard Dawkins The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. In this volume, Dawkins provides his summary of the actual evidence for evolution. I’m just past 100 pages into it, and will need to read it again, but more slowly. It is different from [...]
This is another awesome video from Qualia soup. This one explains why it it impossible to argue for God.
Because God cannot be described or defined, there is no argument for God. The Bible, Koran, and other texts are full of attributes and claims made about God (many of which are mutually exclusive and contradictory, [...]
Soooo…. Gov. Crist believes that stuffing a piece of paper into a crack in the wall has protected Florida from storms? What ignorant bullshit. Crist’s wall against hurricanes is in Jerusalem
Could it be divine intervention that’s kept Florida safe from hurricanes since Gov. Charlie Crist took office?
Crist told a group of real estate agents Friday [...]
I love Keith. He’s funny, and usually spot-on.
In last night’s “Worst Person” segment he awarded TX Governor Rick Perry the “Worst Person in the World” for contemplating appointing Cynthia Dunbar to head the Texas State Board of Education. Ms. Dunbar is a certifiable nutcase who, as Keith points out, believes fundamentalists are too liberal, among [...]
From McLeroy Rejection as Texas Education Chair Based on Unsuitability, Not Religion
McLeroy is notorious for trying to undercut the teaching of the theory of evolution in Texas schools, making the state into a worldwide laughingstock. But his controversial statements are not limited to the teaching of science. When the SBOE approved 150 literary works for [...]
Don McLeroy’s nomination as chair of the Texas Board of Education failed, but just barely (click for live-blogging report). 19 Republicans voted to install him, and 11 Democrats voted against. So they didn’t get the 2/3 majority they needed, and that’s a good thing in itself, but it is amazing how the idiots would prefer [...]
This was just posted to YouTube, but refers to an event a couple years ago.
One of the state’s TOP science educators was terminated because she would not (indeed could not) be neutral on creationism.
Creationism is not science. You can’t be teaching science and remain neutral about a religious doctrine specifically invented to deny science and [...]
Score another one for the Romanian atheist!
Anyone here care to respond to her comments?
Bottom line:
No Evidence = No God. Period.
DISCLAIMER: I put the title in quotes because that is the title attached to the video. I am as offended by saying “x” is retarded as I am when I heard “that’s so gay”. It is demeaning to those who actually are mentally retarded, or gay, or whatever other [...]
Describing what could very well be a part of our own lineage, scientists have revealed the remains of a lemur-like creature from about 47 million years ago, found in Germany. The details of their findings are available here. (a 30-plus page printout!)
The fossil, nicknamed Ida, is claimed to be a “missing link” between today’s higher [...]
In an effort to advance the cause of science and reality, some science organizations continue to claim that science and religion can co-exist, they they address different parts of reality, and that there really is no conflict. The lie continues and it goes round and round, with pathetic and annoying regularity. Far too often, polite [...]
If you’ve been following along and doing a little homework on the side, you’ll know the Universe is approximately 14 billion years old. And just for extra-credit, you know that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. These are not willy-nilly random “big-sounding” numbers intended to impress anyone. And you should also know that [...]
If you aren’t regularly scanning Planet Humanism, Planet Atheism, and Global-Atheist, you’re probably missing a BUNCH of interesting, enlightening, and highly-educational news items. In just one day contributors have offered up a plethora of goodies I haven’t time to address. But a couple goodies are really annoyingly bothersome.
This ignorant diatribe from Pat Boone is astoundingly [...]
Okay, there’s been a bunch of hot button issues coming up lately, and it is difficult to know which one(s) to address and in which order.
Part of my frustration today comes from still hurting from yesterday’s blow to the head and body. I recognize that my front door is a flat surface, vertical plane. But [...]
This is brilliant and pretty much spot-on. 50 Reasons I reject evolution.
These are just a few:
10.) Because the theory of evolution (which, according to scientists, perfectly explains the richness and diversity of life on Earth) contradicts biblical literalism… ya know, flat Earth with a firmament that keeps out the water, talking snakes, people rising from [...]
Check this out! It is factual and true.
I would only change the bit about tomatoes in the eyes.
If God made this world and said it was “good”, in spite of all the predatory nature of Nature, he wasn’t just blinded by tomatoes in the eyes. He was an idiot! No “intelligent design” in there. And [...]
This is a very good explanation about Evolution, and addresses some common creationist deliberate lies misconceptions about reality (you will likely recognize the fallacies and who repeats them most often).
I can’t remember where I read it — on someone’s blog in the last 3-4 days (and I confess: I read a bunch of blogs, as well as blog aggregators) and it’s actually been mentioned in lots of places, so I cannot honestly credit a single person for putting this idea in my head. [...]
