This is from a letter to the editor of a Florida newspaper about evolution and the moronic magical creationism fantasy.
Most of it was well done but as usual the person who wrote it sucked up to religious stupidity. He wrote "Creationism, as a religious belief, should be so respected." That's ridiculous. Teaching this anti-science bullshit is child abuse. Why should anyone respect child abuse?
No matter how many times it's explained to them, the know-nothing evolution deniers don't understand what a scientific theory is. Of course how could anyone stupid enough to be a creationist understand anything? Their brain damage is incurable. Extreme stupid can't be fixed.
The only correct way to treat these assholes for Jeebus is never ending relentless ridicule. Being nice never worked and it never will work. Nothing works. These fucktards for Jeebus are totally insane. Imagine the stupidity required to throw out the bedrock of biology and geology and replace this science with magic. If you're a creationist get off my planet you stupid worthless piece of garbage.
Here it is, the science and the wimpy sucking up to science deniers:
Theology vs. science
The term “theory” is used often in the debate between creationism and evolution. Some think “theory” refers to an idea or thought-up plan about how something works. However, “theory” has two distinct meanings.
Webster defines the lay term “theory” as a speculative idea or plan, a mere conjecture or guess. A different meaning is a formulated principle supported by considerable evidence to explain the physical and natural world. In scientific terms, a hypothesis becomes a theory only when backed by a body of evidence and general scientific acceptance. Evolution has long since developed into a theory after being hypothesized by Charles Darwin in 1859.
Creation “scientists” confuse these distinctions when they equate creationism as a theory to evolution as a theory, as June 6 letter-writer Colleen Berry has done. Creationism cannot be put forward as a scientific hypothesis, much less a theory, since it cannot be empirically tested. Words used by educators should conform to their precise scientific meaning, such as gravitational theory, energy conservation theory, mass-energy equivalence theory (E = mc2). These are supported by extensive, empirically tested scientific evidence, as is the evolution theory.
For many of us, religion is an integral part of our lives, supporting families, communities and spiritual beliefs. Creationism, as a religious belief, should be so respected. Subjecting it to scientific inquiry disrespects creationism as a theological belief. Educators should make this distinction. Our students deserve to learn the difference between the very different disciplines of theology and science.

What is the United States? That's a good question so I looked it up. Wikipedia is my friend. I found some interesting stuff about America's love for supernatural bullshit. The good news is the younger generations are not interested in bullshit.
First the good news:
"Irreligion is growing rapidly among Americans under 30. Polls show that overall American confidence in organized religion has been declining since the mid to late 1980s, and that younger Americans, in particular, are becoming increasingly irreligious."
A hundred years from now most of the religious fucktards will be dead and America will almost be a normal country.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This is why the United States is called "Idiot America":
"In a 2013 survey, 56% of Americans said that religion played a 'very important role in their lives', a far higher figure than that of any other wealthy nation."
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
A nice thing about Wikipedia - It has numerous links about everything. People with lots of time on their hands could spend all day clicking links and reading stuff.
Another thing about Wikipedia is it's totally free with zero ads as is this blog and BBC News and where I play chess. That's the way it should be. Everything on the internet should be free and there should be zero ads.

Wikipedia - United States - Religion
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion and forbids Congress from passing laws respecting its establishment.
In a 2013 survey, 56% of Americans said that religion played a "very important role in their lives", a far higher figure than that of any other wealthy nation. In a 2009 Gallup poll, 42% of Americans said that they attended church weekly or almost weekly; the figures ranged from a low of 23% in Vermont to a high of 63% in Mississippi.
As with other Western countries, the U.S. is becoming less religious. Irreligion is growing rapidly among Americans under 30. Polls show that overall American confidence in organized religion has been declining since the mid to late 1980s, and that younger Americans, in particular, are becoming increasingly irreligious. According to a 2012 study, the Protestant share of the U.S. population had dropped to 48%, thus ending its status as religious category of the majority for the first time. Americans with no religion have 1.7 children compared to 2.2 among Christians. The unaffiliated are less likely to get married with 37% marrying compared to 52% of Christians.
According to a 2014 survey, 70.6% of adults in the United States identified themselves as Christians; Protestants accounted for 46.5%, while Roman Catholics, at 20.8%, formed the largest single denomination.[321] In 2014, 5.9% of the U.S. adult population claimed a non-Christian religion. These include Judaism (1.9%), Hinduism (1.2%), Buddhism (0.9%), and Islam (0.9%). The survey also reported that 22.8% of Americans described themselves as agnostic, atheist or simply having no religion—up from 8.2% in 1990. There are also Unitarian Universalist, Scientologist, Baha'i, Sikh, Jain, Shinto, Confucian, Taoist, Druid, Native American, Wiccan, humanist and deist communities.
Protestantism is the largest Christian religious grouping in the United States, accounting for almost half of all Americans. Baptists collectively form the largest branch of Protestantism at 15.4%, and the Southern Baptist Convention is the largest individual Protestant denomination at 5.3% of the U.S. population. Apart from Baptists, other Protestant categories include nondenominational Protestants, Methodists, Pentecostals, unspecified Protestants, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, other Reformed, Episcopalians/Anglicans, Quakers, Adventists, Holiness, Christian fundamentalists, Anabaptists, Pietists, and multiple others. Two-thirds of American Protestants consider themselves to be born again. Roman Catholicism in the United States has its origin primarily in the Spanish and French colonization of the Americas, as well as in the English colony of Maryland. It later grew because of Irish, Italian, Polish, German and Hispanic immigration. Rhode Island has the highest percentage of Catholics, with 40 percent of the total population. Utah is the only state where Mormonism is the religion of the majority of the population. The Mormon Corridor also extends to parts of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevadaand Wyoming. Eastern Orthodoxy is claimed by 5% of people in Alaska, a former Russian colony, and maintains a presence on the U.S. mainland due to recent immigration from Eastern Europe. Finally, a number of other Christian groups are active across the country, including the Oneness Pentecostals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Restorationists, Churches of Christ, Christian Scientists, Unitarians and many others.
The Bible Belt is an informal term for a region in the Southern United States in which socially conservative evangelical Protestantism is a significant part of the culture and Christian church attendance across the denominations is generally higher than the nation's average. By contrast, religion plays the least important role in New England and in the Western United States.

Typical god-soaked idiots: No brain, no curiosity, no desire to learn how the world works.
"Many believers admit that nothing could change their mind about their religious beliefs, which means they are no longer seekers of truth and have become, in essence, mindless religious robots. Religion consistently and effectively discourages introspection and inquiry. That isn't by accident."

Who is Bob Peters? I don't know but what he wrote explains why the god disease is usually incurable.

North Korea's fat little dictator is a stupid fucking asshole.
Wall Street Journal - As Trump Plans North Korea Summit, Defectors Tell Harrowing Stories
Torture and starvation in political prison camps, public executions and forced abortions persist.
By Alastair Gale June 4, 2018
Early in the reign of North Korea’s current supreme leader, merchant Kim Young-hee shared a flea-infested prison cell for a year with more than two dozen other women, enduring regular whippings from guards. Her crime was helping her sister’s child flee one of the world’s most repressive dictatorships.
Conditions have only grown harder. Kim Jong Un, the nation’s third-generation dictator, has tightened border controls to prevent escapes since taking power at the end of 2011. Those caught risk prolonged imprisonment. North Korean women sent back from China have been forced to have abortions if the fathers were Chinese, defectors say.
Torture and starvation are routine in a vast network of North Korean prison camps operated since the 1950s with a total land area about 20 times the size of Manhattan. Around 100,000 people are held in five camps, according to the United Nations. Camps in central areas have added new facilities to house more prisoners, satellite images show.
The repression has been largely ignored as Mr. Kim seeks to rehabilitate his international image with a swing to diplomacy. As President Donald Trump prepares for a planned summit meeting with Mr. Kim on June 12—the first between a U.S. and North Korean leader—it isn’t clear whether he will raise the issue of Pyongyang’s human-rights violations, or if doing so would lead to any improvement.
Mr. Trump has indicated that he sees human rights as a major concern, including in a speech to the South Korean legislature in November in which he described prisoners as “enduring torture, starvation, rape and murder on a constant basis.” But at a meeting on Friday with one of Mr. Kim’s top lieutenants, the president said they didn’t discuss human rights.
Tales from the gulag are grim. One inmate of a North Korean labor camp from 2015 to 2016 described having to bend bodies in half to fit as many as possible in an incinerator, according to a recent survey by a South Korean state-run think-thank. It wasn’t clear how the prisoners died, but disease, starvation and work accidents can kill swathes of inmates.
In October 2016, four men and three women were executed by firing squad at an airfield in a border city near China, one defector said in the survey. In February 2015, five men were shot to death at a sports stadium just north of the capital in front of a few thousand locals, according to another defector in the same report. The survey was based on the testimony of 137 defectors who entered South Korea in 2017.
Ms. Kim pulled her shirt collar open to reveal red gouges across her shoulder. The female smuggler who arranged the escape of her sister’s child was sent to a labor camp, she said, and after her release shared stories of starvation and beatings.
Life became harder under the new leader after 2011. Officials demanded bribes of expensive items such as rabbit skins to allow traders like her to operate. The wealth gap was increasing. Ms. Kim, who survived by selling potatoes in larger towns and bringing back MSG to sell in hers, escaped herself in 2014.
“The state treated poorer people like dogs,” she said.
Ms. Park, another defector interviewed by the Wall Street Journal who asked not to be named to protect family still in North Korea, was jailed for escaping but made the decision to leave again in 2012. This time she had a backup plan. Like a friend who had been caught crossing the Yalu River into China a few days earlier she took along a cyanide pill just in case.
Since her first escape about five years earlier, fewer smugglers were willing to help those trying to flee, she said. The price of escape had risen to $2,000 from less than $100.
As senior U.S. officials prepare for the summit there’s been little talk of pressing the North Korean leader over human rights, something that also didn’t come up at the recent meeting of leaders of North and South Korea.
The main U.S. goal will be to secure a commitment to denuclearization. Some experts say Pyongyang’s frequent anger at criticism of its human-rights record could complicate that objective if Mr. Trump confronts Mr. Kim.
Opening with a call for the gulags to be closed would be a “bridge too far,” said Robert King, the U.S. envoy for human rights in North Korea under the Obama administration. The regime would likely see that as a challenge to its political system, he said.
“This is beginning of process that has to go on for some time,” he said.
Failing to raise human rights would signal weakness on a critically important problem, countered Greg Scarlatoiu, executive director of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, a Washington -based organization
Bringing up human rights with Mr. Kim “is the right thing to do morally, ethically, legally and politically,” he said.
North Korea routinely rejects accusations of human-rights abuses and denies it operates prison camps. It refused to allow U.N. officials to enter the country for a research project into human rights published in 2014, and slammed the final report as an attack engineered by Washington.
However, it accepted some recommendations made by the U.N. in a separate 2014 report, including improving gender equality and general public awareness of human rights. U.N. officials say they have seen little clear sign of progress, but Pyongyang did allow a U.N. special rapporteur for the disabled to visit last year.
For those outside the country with a direct stake in North Korean human-rights issues, such as families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s, engagement between Washington and Pyongyang raises hopes of a breakthrough.
Mr. Trump highlighted the case of one abductee, Megumi Yokota, in a speech to the U.N. in September. North Korea says Ms. Yokota died years ago, but her parents continue to campaign for her release.
Ms. Yokota’s mother, Sakie Yokota, said she was wary of North Korea simply using dialogue as a way to relieve sanctions pressure, but she hoped the time had finally come to resolve the abduction issue through talks.
“I am hopeful, but at the same time, I am afraid,” Sakie Yokota said.

Americans, our economy sucks. Obama has been president for more than three years and still there are millions of desperate people who can't find a job.
Most Americans like President Obama. Unfortunately he's incompetent. There is an alternative.
Mitt Romney’s Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth
Another problem I have with Obama is his disrespect for our freedom, for example our freedom to make our own decisions about how we spend our hard-earned money, instead of Big Government making those decisions for us.
ObamaCare Watch, The Individual Mandate
The individual mandate falls more heavily on low and moderate income families. They will be required to enroll in health insurance plans that generally are more expensive than many of today’s offerings, and if they don’t do so pay a fine or a tax that they do not pay today. These added costs will mean these households have less discretion to spend their limited resources on other priorities, such as perhaps education or housing.

I like to play 10 minute games (each side gets ten minutes to play the entire game). Every game is interesting because my opponents are rated close to my rating which is about 1700 right now.

The most prominent atheist in America (Mr. PZ) is a fake atheist (as is Dawkins of the UK).
At http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/07/04/what-kind-of-atheist-are-you/ PZ wrote "It is almost certainly true that there is no god ...".
Would PZ say "It is almost certainly true that there is no Easter Bunny"?
Of course not. There are no magical rabbits, period. PZ is implying a god creature with unlimited magical powers is more likely than a Easter Bunny who hides hard boiled eggs from children.
God = magic = bullshit. I am absolutely 100% certain god, also known as magic, is an idiotic fantasy that couldn't possibly be true.
PZ is a fake atheist. Richard Dawkins of the UK has the same problem.
Grow up famous atheists. Bible thumpers and terrorists love your "almost certainly true" bullshit. Stop being part of the problem.

Free Markets, Not Redistribution, Is Best Way to Reduce Poverty
Free Markets, Not Redistribution, Is Best Way to Reduce Poverty
The so-called War on Poverty has failed. Making government bigger and creating more federal redistribution programs has been bad news for taxpayers. But the welfare state also has been a disaster for the less fortunate, creating a flypaper effect that makes it difficult for people to lead independent and self-reliant lives. This Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation video shows how the poverty rate was falling after World War II -- but then stagnated once the federal government got involved.

A religious idiot asked a stupid question.
At a news website about faith (also known as believing in insane bullshit that couldn't possibly have any evidence) an idiot asked "Attack faith? Why?"
Why attack faith? It's a dumb question only a religious tard (or a worthless atheist wimp) would ask.
1. the 9/11/2001 religious atrocities
2. the daily suicide bombings
3. our never ending religious wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
4. the Christian war against science education
5. the child abuse called religious indoctrination
6. the burning stupidity
7. the god fantasy is bullshit
7. the god fantasy is bullshit
God is magic. Magic is impossible. Therefore god is bullshit.
That's it theists. There's nothing more to say about your childish god fantasy. If you believe in a god then you believe in magic. Magic is bullshit therefore your invisible creator with unlimited magical powers is bullshit. If you don't want to admit that then there's nothing I can do for you. Your stupidity is incurable.

"My title will be On the Origin of Species. I shall keep god out of it."
The quote is from the father of modern biology in the movie Creation.
Another quote from the movie: "You killed god sir. You have killed god."

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online
Every educated person knows evolution is fact and magical creationism is fantasy. In this quote from On the Origin of Species Darwin explains why evolution is many times more interesting than magical creationism:
When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard every production of nature as one which has had a long history; when we contemplate every complex structure and instinct as the summing up of many contrivances, each useful to the possessor, in the same way as any great mechanical invention is the summing up of the labour, the experience, the reason, and even the blunders of numerous workmen; when we thus view each organic being, how far more interesting - I speak from experience - does the study of natural history become!
— Charles Darwin
Two quotes about Charles Darwin and evolution:
Darwin anticipated problems with his theory. Modern science has answered them. Evolution by Natural Selection has been triumphantly vindicated as fact.

Darwin matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.
-- Michael Shermer
The best book ever written about the evidence for evolution: Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne, published in 2009, 150 years after Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species.

85% of Americans either completely deny evolution or they think supernatural magic is a mechanism of evolution. Why does this epidemic of breathtaking stupidity matter?
The question is answered at What's the Matter With Creationism?
Why does it matter that almost half the country rejects the overwhelming evidence of evolution, with or without the hand of God? After all, Americans are famously ignorant of many things—like where Iran is or when World War II took place—and we are still here. One reason is that rejecting evolution expresses more than an inability to think critically; it relies on a fundamentally paranoid worldview. Think what the world would have to be like for evolution to be false. Almost every scientist on earth would have to be engaged in a fraud so complex and extensive it involved every field from archaeology, paleontology, geology and genetics to biology, chemistry and physics. And yet this massive concatenation of lies and delusion is so full of obvious holes that a pastor with a Bible-college degree or a homeschooling parent with no degree at all can see right through it.

Here are two examples. In the right column of this blog there are links to several dozen more posts that are worth reading. Look for "THIS IS A LIST OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE POSTS:".
Charles Darwin killed the magic god fairy. Jerry Coyne and Neil deGrasse Tyson cremated it.
FUCK OFF CHRISTIAN IDIOTS.

Hello Christians, Muslims, Jews, and other deluded theists. You have lost. Science won. It's about time for you cowardly imbeciles to grow up and accept reality.
