This blog has lots of stuff about the evidence for evolution.

This blog has 435 posts about the evidence for evolution at evidence for evolution.

For example this stuff:

"Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology."

Idiot America is under Canada.

Here in Idiot America we have this bullshit:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

I prefer this:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under CANADA, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

More stuff about the coronavirus.

The Washington Post

President Trump’s new top medical adviser, Scott Atlas, is urging the White House to embrace a controversial “herd immunity” strategy to combat the pandemic. It would entail allowing the coronavirus to spread through the population quickly to build resistance to the virus. But it's still not clear whether people who recover from covid-19 gain long-term immunity, and experts say the so-called “herd” approach would also lead to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deaths. (Explore this FAQ for answers to more “herd immunity” questions.)

If you're a Christian you are fucking insane.

Is there any evidence for the magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man besides 500 dead witnesses who may or may not have been invented?

The answer is no. That's all they got. For something as totally impossible as a decomposing corpse becoming alive again, there has to be some very fantastic evidence that can be tested, especially since the resurrection is totally impossible and never happened.

Christians have to believe this zombie bullshit if they want to be real Christians.

We have a religion with about 2 billion customers. They are so fucking stupid they think magic is real, and of course, they will never admit they believe in magic because then they would be admitting how childish they are, not to mention gullible, stupid, and batshit crazy.

Simon & Garfunkel - America

Wikipedia - America (Simon & Garfunkel song)

The narrator spends four days hitchhiking from Saginaw to join Kathy in Pittsburgh, where together they board a Greyhound bus to continue the journey. The narrator begins with a lighthearted and optimistic outlook ("Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together") that fades over the course of the song. To pass time, he and Kathy play games and try to guess the backgrounds of their fellow passengers. Over the course of their journey, they smoke all their cigarettes. Kathy reads a magazine before falling asleep, leaving the narrator awake to reflect on the meaning of the journey alone. In the final verse, the narrator is able to speak his true emotions to Kathy, now that she is sleeping and cannot hear or answer. "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why" captures the longing and angst of the 1960s in nine simple words. The narrator then stares out the window "counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike". Many other empty, aching, and lost souls are on the highway, each on their own journey alone even if someone is traveling with them. The soaring harmony lines and crashing cymbals create a powerful and poignant end to the song's final verse: "They've all come to look for America." Pete Fornatale interprets this lyric as a "metaphor to remind us all of the lost souls wandering the highways and byways of mid-sixties America, struggling to navigate the rapids of despair and hope, optimism and disillusionment."

Here in Idiot America where I live most of the population thinks there is a magical creature with unlimited magical powers who hides somewhere in the universe and the thing loves us. I'm not making this up. Most Americans are fucking insane.

This magical creature is usually called "God" or "Allah".

Here in Idiot America we also have something called "religions". Religions were invented by the same morons who invented the God/Allah thing. There are numerous religions and every religion has several branches. Every religion has been invented to make stuff up about the God/Allah thing, and they all had their own ideas about it.

Since these religions and gods were invented by morons they are of course all bullshit. Americans love their bullshit. They couldn't exist without it. It's a stupidity problem.

Religions are businesses. They make tons of money from the fucktards who belong to their cults. And to keep this lucrative business from going extinct they have invented something called "religious brainwashing". The idea is to brainwash children at a very young age when they are very gullible. This is child abuse but in Idiot America it's legal. The victims learn how to be retards.

There are numerous nicknames for the God thing. I recently asked some people to help me learn what some of the nicknames are.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

What is your favorite nickname for God?

For example, Zeus, Sky Daddy, Magic Man, Jeebus.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Everlasting Father. Almighty God.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I don't have one as gods don't exist other than within the twisted religious mindset.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Fictional character.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I generally use Guzmia.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

DOG same as god only spelled backwards.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Lord Jesus Savior Jehovah. But Jehovah is God's real name anyway.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

God doesn't have nicknames and whatever the hell you wrote is made up fictitious mockery that came from your mind that doesn't relate to God whatsoever.

My favorite brilliant young woman who has no moral values.

"Upon being stopped by a soldier, she detonated the bomb she carried, killing herself and the soldier who stopped her, while wounding six police officers." Can you guess what religion this idiot belonged to before she blew herself up.

Wikipedia - 2020 Jolo bombings

The 2020 Jolo bombings occurred on August 24, 2020, when insurgents alleged to be Abu Sayyaf jihadists detonated two bombs in Jolo, Sulu, Philippines, killing 14 people and wounding 75 others. The first occurred as Philippine Army personnel were assisting in carrying out COVID-19 humanitarian efforts. The second, a suicide bombing, was carried out near the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral.

Background

For over three decades, the Abu Sayyaf has been launching terrorist attacks in support of making the province of Sulu independent from the Philippines, as part of the Moro conflict. Sulu is primarily Muslim, whereas the Philippines as a whole is primarily Christian. In 2004, the Abu Sayyaf launched the worst terrorist attack in Filipino history, bombing a ferry which killed 116 people. In 2016, they pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. They are known for using improvised explosive devices and for kidnapping foreigners for ransom, especially within Sulu province.

In June 2020, four Filipino soldiers investigating the presence of two female suicide bombers in Sulu were shot dead by police during a confrontation. In August 2020, some days prior to the bombing, the Philippine government arrested a number of militants belonging to the Abu Sayyaf organization. Security forces on Sulu were on high alert due to fears of retribution.

Attacks

On August 24, 2020, at 11:54 am, a motorcycle bomb placed next to a military truck detonated outside the Paradise Food Plaza in downtown Jolo, Sulu. The explosion killed six soldiers, six civilians and a police officer, as well as injuring 69 others. The police and military responded to the scene. An hour later, at 12:57 pm, a female suicide bomber approached the cordoned-off area and attempted to enter. Upon being stopped by a soldier, she detonated the bomb she carried, killing herself and the soldier who stopped her, while wounding six police officers. The second blast occurred approximately 100 meters (110 yd) away from the first blast, in front of a branch of the Development Bank of the Philippines. In total, seven soldiers, one police officer, and six civilians were killed; and 21 soldiers, six police officers, and 48 civilians were wounded. The site of the bombing was close to the site of the 2019 Jolo Cathedral bombings.


Aftermath

The following day, the Islamic State – East Asia Province (also known as Abu Sayyaf) claimed responsibility for the attack. The government believes that Abu Sayyaf bombmaker Mundi Sawadjaan created the bombs and armed the attackers. The entire municipality of Sulu was placed on lockdown following the blasts.

On August 29, 2020, in Patikul, soldiers searching for the perpetrators of the bombings were attacked by fellow Abu Sayyaf militants. The gunfight resulted in the death of a Filipino soldier and the wounding of seven others; two Abu Sayyaf militants also died in the fight.

Reactions

Immediately after the attacks, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque condemned the bombings saying "authorities are now conducting an investigation, which includes identifying individuals or groups behind these dastardly attacks." Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles condemned the attacks in "the strongest possible terms" and said that terrorism has "no place in a civilized world". He also stated that he will bring justice to those behind the "inhuman attack".

Everything I always wanted to know about the Illinois county where I live. Rolling farmland and the most nice people on the planet.

Henry County, Illinois

About Henry County

Henry County, Illinois is located in Northwestern Illinois, just 16 miles from the Mississippi River dividing Illinois and Iowa. Henry County is primarily made up of rolling farmland, and is well known for hog, corn, soybean, and cattle production. The area is also dotted with wooded areas, rivers, lakes, and streams.

While much of the county is agricultural in nature, the cities and towns of Henry County feature many manufacturing and business outlets. The county is served by Interstate Highways 80 and 74, plus both freight and passenger rail lines. In addition, Henry County is just 10 minutes from the Quad Cities International Airport.

Henry County features areas of great historical interest, including the Bishop Hill Colony, the Hennepin Canal, the Great Sauk Trail, and other areas reflecting the rich heritage of the region.

Henry County's population in 2000 was 51,020, with the county covering 823.21 square miles.

History

Henry County was named for Patrick Henry, a lawyer, orator, and statesman of the Revolutionary period, a member of the Continental Congress, and Governor of Virginia.

The county was established Seven Years after Illinois became a state from unorganized territory attached to Fulton County, Illinois on January 13, 1825. The original Henry County ran north to the border of Illinois and Wisconsin and included parts of present-day Carroll, Jo Daviess, Knox, Rock Island, and Whiteside counties.

In 1827, the formation of Jo Daviess County drastically reduced the size of Henry County to about half its present day area. The present borders of Henry County were not established until 1836, and until about 1837, Henry County was attached to Knox County. The present county organization was completed in 1837.

Henry County has known four county seats, including:
1837–1839 Richmond
1839–1840 Geneseo—Temporarily appointed to house records.
1840–1843 Morristown
1843–present Cambridge

This is fantastic. You want to see this. The Amazing World Of Earthworms In The UK - Springwatch - BBC Two

I wrote this for a Christian fucktard.

When people drop dead they are worm food, and that's the end of them. That's the way it is. Reality can not be thrown out.

It's not a big deal. I prefer reality instead of the ridiculous fantasies of Christian cowards.

This is typical. A young woman is murdered by her family. The Muslim assholes call it a honor killing. Muslim scum need to be wiped off this planet.

Activists call for justice after honour killing of Palestinian woman


Author of the article: Postmedia News

Publishing date: September 01, 2019

The death of a 21-year-old aspiring makeup artist has activists from around the world calling for justice.

Isra’a Ghrayeb, a Palestinian woman from Bethlehem, was reportedly killed this past Thursday after being allegedly tortured and beaten to death by her brother in a family honor killing.

According to The New Arab, Ghraybeb was killed after posting a video on social media depicting her and her fiance.

Her brother, Ihab — a Canadian citizen — was reportedly angered by the video, believing it was a family dishonor to show herself with her betrothed together before a formal wedding ceremony takes place.

Citing social media posts, The New Arab reported Ihab’s father called for his daughter’s beating after other family members saw the video. Local media reported Ghrayeb fell from the second floor of the family home while trying to escape family violence.

The fall caused severe spinal injuries. While in hospital awaiting a spinal cord operation, Ghrayeb stated on an Instagram story she had to cancel all August and September makeup appointments because of her bad state of health.

“I’m strong and I have the will to live — if I didn’t have this willpower, I would have died yesterday,” she reportedly wrote.

While in hospital, Ghraybeb was allegedly attacked a second time. She later died.

It’s unclear how Ghraybeb really died. Social media reports claim the woman died at home days after the alleged hospital attack.

Ghraybeb’s family claim she died of a heart attack.

Police have not officially commented on the alleged killing.

News of Ghraybeb’s death spawned the Arabic hashtag #WeAreAllIsraa which trended online with messages calling for justice for the woman’s death. Others called on the Canadian government to arrest Ihab for the alleged crime.

Somebody asked a dumb question about Muslim scum.

"Should Muslims be allowed in the west?"

NO, because they are constantly blowing themselves up.

What I wrote will make politically correct crybabies cry. The only people more fucking stupid than Muslim scum are the wimpy assholes who suck up to them.

I wrote this for some people who don't realize they are apes.

This is one of the strongest facts of science: People, including the dead Magic Jeebus Man, are apes. We are one of the Great Ape species.

This blog has very many of my favorite quotes. Here is another one.

I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.

-- Albert Einstein

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong, and whose thinking I have a deep affinity for, have no different quality for me than all other people.

-- Albert Einstein
