Mitt Romney, who was a draft dodger in the 1960's, wants to continue wasting young American lives in our ten year old religious war in Afghanistan.

This off-topic post is the 23rd post to get the label anything else I want to write about.

Please see Mitt Romney invoked his idiotic religion to avoid being drafted into the United States Army.

Also please see Romney has been critical of President Barack Obama's foreign policy, particularly the president's aggressive timeline to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.

I'm a Republican who usually votes for Democrats because virtually all Republican politicians are god-soaked idiots.

If you live in a normal country (anywhere except Idiot America) you might not know who Mitt Romney is. He is the Republican politician who is now most likely to be President Obama's opponent in the November 2012 election. An idiot from Texas, Rick Perry, used to be ahead of Romney in the polls, but Perry has shown himself to be too breathtakingly stupid to be elected even by brain-dead Republican voters. I sure wasn't going to vote for the anti-science Christian asshole Rick Perry. I thought I might be able to vote for Mitt Romney but now I doubt it.

I have some problems with Mitt Romney. For example even though he accepts the facts of evolutionary biology, he is not able to do this without sticking his supernatural magic fairy in there somewhere. Visitors to this blog might have noticed I don't have a very high opinion of religious assholes and Romney is way too religious.

Romney recently said "God did not create this country to be a nation of followers".

Romney, your magic fairy didn't create this country, period. Your fairy didn't create anything but you believe in it anyway because you're a brainwashed idiot. Even worse, you're a Mormon, a religion so batshit crazy even Bible thumpers make fun of it.

But this post is not about Romney's religion disease. This post is about his desire to sacrifice more American lives in Afghanistan even though he was too cowardly to join (or get drafted into) the US Army when there was another never-ending war going on, Vietnam.

Romney is a cowardly asshole who wants to sacrifice the lives of other people to make himself popular with America's Republican idiots.

Ten years in Afghanistan is long enough. America can't afford it anymore and it's immoral to let American soldiers get killed or lose limbs for the Muslim scum of a worthless dirt-bag country.

Obama isn't much better. He wants to drag out a war we can't win and can't afford, not caring about the wasted lives and not caring about the fact that under his administration our country's credit rating was lowered for the first time in history thanks to his out of control spending.

Incredibly Romney wants to drag out this religious war even longer. Romney, why don't you go there and sacrifice yourself if you think our invasion ten years ago hasn't gone on long enough.

I wrote other posts about Afghanistan including these two posts:

Two news articles provide good reasons for America to declare victory and leave Afghanistan immediately.

The suicide bomber religion

A challenge for Christian assholes

I challenge Christian idiots to provide just one piece of real evidence (not dead gullible witnesses) for your idiotic disgusting resurrection of the stinking Jeebus corpse into a zombie.

There is no evidence for any of your childish fantasies. Gullible Christians believe in Christian bullshit anyway because they're uneducated hicks and because they have a cowardly fear of reality.

You Christians are bloody insane. Despite the amazing discoveries of 21st century science you drooling morons still prefer to live in the Dark Ages.

I would ignore you morally corrupt Christian assholes if you didn't brainwash children, attack science education, disrespect our constitution, and have the same cowardly heaven fantasy that makes terrorism possible.

Fuck off Christian scum.

I respond to an atheist wimp who thinks everyone should suck up to religious idiots and everyone should study their childish fantasies.

This is what the suck-up wrote.

This was my reply (which is awaiting either moderation or censorship):

Update: I hope I'm wrong but it looks like my comments were censored. Apparently atheist wimps are as cowardly as the religious scum they suck up to.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
“Ultimately, greater curiosity with respect to the views one opposes and deeper self-reflection on the nature of one’s own views would make a more civil, thoughtful, and careful public debate about religion and atheism possible.”

I agree with Dawkins. Curiosity about childish idiotic nonsense (every religious fantasy ever invented) is a waste of time. Who cares which god fairy did what? It’s like astrology which is equally insane. Does a person have to be an expert about astrology to know it’s bullshit?

Be more civil? Should we be more civil towards terrorists because they’re religious? Should we be civil towards religious people who brainwash children and threaten biology teachers? I don’t think so.

There’s nothing scientific about the Resurrection fantasy therefore every Christian belongs to an anti-science organization. Every Muslim belongs to the terrorist organization called Islam. Every religious person, no matter what childish fantasies they believe in, they all brainwash innocent children. If these people had any decency they would throw out their idiotic cults. They all deserve contempt.

“Tone matters, because too many have been insufficiently fierce in their criticism of pious excuses for sloppy thinking. Tone matters because we haven’t been rude enough in the face of special claims of privilege for religious inanity. We need to flip that tone argument around 180°—the problem isn’t that our tone is so harsh, it’s that yours is so inappropriately soft towards people who lie to children, who want to gut our educational system, and who want to taint science with a bias for magic.”
– PZ Myers

--------------------------------------------------------------

The suck-up also wrote "the Vatican has accepted that Darwinian evolution is consistent with Catholicism"

The article the suck-up links to has this from a Catholic: “I maintain that the idea of evolution has a place in Christian theology,” Professor Tanzella-Nitti added.

Do Catholics say gravity has a place in Christian theology? No, of course not. They give this special treatment only to biology. Why? Because they need their magical fairy to magically stick a magical soul in there during or after the development of modern human apes.

Meanwhile virtually every Catholic in the world either completely rejects evolution or, even worse, they think magic is one of the mechanisms of evolution. These assholes for the Pope are not accepting evolution. They're polluting evolution with their bullshit fantasies.

These are not people a normal person should suck up to. The religious violence, the religious stupidity, the religious indoctrination, and the never-ending sticking of magic into biology can not be tolerated.

Enough is enough. Being nice to religious scum doesn't work. Also, being nice to religious tards is immoral, because of the 9/11 religious atrocities and because the Christian war against science education is never going to end until every priest and preacher is dead.

These are the two most important posts of this blog.

If I had to choose the two most important posts of this blog (which has more than 700 posts) I would choose these:

Human chromosome 2 and chimpanzee chromosomes 2p & 2q

Human chromosome two is my favorite evidence for evolution because it's easy to understand and no evidence could possibly be more powerful. It demonstrates how biologists make predictions which absolutely must be true or else evolution would have to be thrown out. After 150 years of testing evolution is still batting 100%. In this example the predictions made about human chromosome two were spectacularly correct in extreme detail. There are thousands of other powerful evidences for evolution but just this post should be enough to convince anyone who is not insane that evolution is a proven fact.

Some stuff I stole from Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True

This post is important because convincing people to buy and read Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True is important. There are many books about evolution but in my opinion Jerry Coyne's masterpiece is the best for both non-scientists and experienced biologists. Every paragraph is priceless, important, easy to understand, and a pleasure to read. There is nothing tedious in Why Evolution is True. Every piece of evidence described by Jerry Coyne is by itself good enough to call evolution true. All the evidence he explains combined should be enough for anyone unless they are beyond batshit crazy.

Unfortunately more than half the population of Idiot America is batshit crazy, but they should read this stuff anyway. Of course they won't go near it. America's Christians are lazy, they're cowards, and they refuse to study anything that conflicts with their childish Jeebus fantasy. Christians are retarded because they want to be retarded. Christians don't want to know anything about reality because they don't want to make the dead Jeebus cry.

I learned a long time ago to never waste my time trying to explain scientific evidence to Christian scum. They are not interested and even if they wanted to understand they wouldn't be able to. I have repeatedly seen examples of their idiocy. Christians are Christians because they're just plain stupid.

Of course Christians are welcome to prove me wrong. All they have to do is grow up, educate themselves, stop being gullible idiots, stop being cowardly assholes, and face facts. But it will never happen. If a person is still a Christian in the 21st century that person is incurably insane.

The Catholic religion requires all Catholic idiots to be science deniers.

I would think by now Catholics would be a bit fed up with contributing their hard earned money to the Pope's church while watching all that money going to pay the legal bills for lawsuits because virtually every Catholic priest in the world molests little boys. But this subject is too disgusting for this blog.

The purpose of this post is to help get rid of the myth the Catholic religion is pro-science. There's nothing more anti-science than the Catholic bullshit I just found at Adam, Eve, and Evolution.

To avoid getting sick from the burning stupidity I only read a few paragraphs. I'm going to copy and paste what I read then I will write about why their fantasies are anti-science bullshit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Catholic Position

What is the Catholic position concerning belief or unbelief in evolution? The question may never be finally settled, but there are definite parameters to what is acceptable Catholic belief.

Concerning cosmological evolution, the Church has infallibly defined that the universe was specially created out of nothing. Vatican I solemnly defined that everyone must "confess the world and all things which are contained in it, both spiritual and material, as regards their whole substance, have been produced by God from nothing" (Canons on God the Creator of All Things, canon 5).

The Church does not have an official position on whether the stars, nebulae, and planets we see today were created at that time or whether they developed over time (for example, in the aftermath of the Big Bang that modern cosmologists discuss). However, the Church would maintain that, if the stars and planets did develop over time, this still ultimately must be attributed to God and his plan, for Scripture records: "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host [stars, nebulae, planets] by the breath of his mouth" (Ps. 33:6).

Concerning biological evolution, the Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him.

Concerning human evolution, the Church has a more definite teaching. It allows for the possibility that man’s body developed from previous biological forms, under God’s guidance, but it insists on the special creation of his soul. Pope Pius XII declared that "the teaching authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions . . . take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter—[but] the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God" (Pius XII, Humani Generis 36). So whether the human body was specially created or developed, we are required to hold as a matter of Catholic faith that the human soul is specially created; it did not evolve, and it is not inherited from our parents, as our bodies are.

While the Church permits belief in either special creation or developmental creation on certain questions, it in no circumstances permits belief in atheistic evolution.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Concerning cosmological evolution, the Church has infallibly defined that the universe was specially created out of nothing."

Infallibly? The idiot Pope can never make a mistake? I could quit right here because I have already established the fact that Catholics are gullible morons. Nobody is infallible. It's ridiculous to pretend otherwise.

Specially created? Translated that means "a god fairy waved its magic wand". Religious tards have countless code words for magic. Why don't they just call magic "magic"?

Catholics, if you invoke magic for anything you're an anti-science retard.

"The Church does not have an official position on whether the stars, nebulae, and planets we see today were created at that time or whether they developed over time (for example, in the aftermath of the Big Bang that modern cosmologists discuss). However, the Church would maintain that, if the stars and planets did develop over time, c, for Scripture records: "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host [stars, nebulae, planets] by the breath of his mouth" (Ps. 33:6)."

The Church does not have an official position on what is settled science? What's the problem? Are they afraid to offend their more stupid members?

"if the stars and planets did develop over time"

Why do they say "if"? Solar systems did develop over time and astronomers can see this process taking place right now. Again it looks like the Pope is trying to not lose his most retarded customers.

"this still ultimately must be attributed to God and his plan"

Again the pope invokes magic. Everything is magic with these Catholic assholes. They're no better than Bible thumpers and in fact in the next sentence the Bible is thumped -- "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host [stars, nebulae, planets] by the breath of his mouth"

If the bullshit is in the Bible then it must be true. There is absolutely no difference between Catholics and anti-science Baptists. They're all idiots for the dead Jeebus.

"Concerning biological evolution, the Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him."

Again there's "no official position". There's room in the Catholic Death Cult for everyone, no matter how uneducated and superstitious they are. Must keep those contributions coming in so priests don't have to go to prison for raping children.

Life forms did develop over the course of time. That's the most basic fact of science.

"However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him."

"If they did develop" is equal to saying "If the world is not flat".

The god fairy guides evolution with its magic wand. Catholic tards got to stick their magic everywhere. They have no choice because nobody wants to believe in a fairy that never had anything to do.

Sorry Catholic tards, but magic is not one of the mechanisms of any natural process, including evolution.

In the next paragraph the bullshit really burns out of control. It's impossible to write anything more hopelessly stupid than these ridiculous fantasies:

"Concerning human evolution, the Church has a more definite teaching. It allows for the possibility that man’s body developed from previous biological forms, under God’s guidance, but it insists on the special creation of his soul. Pope Pius XII declared that "the teaching authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions . . . take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter—[but] the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God" (Pius XII, Humani Generis 36). So whether the human body was specially created or developed, we are required to hold as a matter of Catholic faith that the human soul is specially created; it did not evolve, and it is not inherited from our parents, as our bodies are."

There are Muslims who accept evolution without magic but only for non-humans. Therefore Catholics are about equal to Muslim terrorists, equally insane.

The Pope calls the evolution of modern human apes a possibility which is like saying it's possible the earth is not flat.

The pope insists on the special creation of the soul. This childish bullshit is necessary for the survival of all religious cults. No soul = no heaven = nobody bothers to waste their money in churches and mosques.

The soul is magically created, but only for human apes. The other Great Ape species, the chimps, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans, they don't get a magically created soul that magically flies up to a magical paradise to magically transform itself into the dead stinking corpse it left behind and then it magically returns to a magical life.

What fucking bullshit. Grow up Catholic scum.

This crap really pisses me off:

"While the Church permits belief in either special creation or developmental creation on certain questions, it in no circumstances permits belief in atheistic evolution."

Evolution does not need any adjectives. These imbeciles for the dead Jeebus never talk about atheistic gravity or atheistic orbits. Always religious tards, whether they're Baptists, Muslim terrorists, or Catholics, always they stick magic into evolutionary biology. This just shows how terrified they are of evolution. The religious implications of evolution are obvious. It kills every god fantasy ever invented. So they don't look too bloody stupid the tards sometimes pretend they accept evolution but polluting this branch of science with magic is not accepting it.

One more time Catholic tards, Christian tards, and Muslim tards, magic is not a mechanism of any branch of science. Understand?

No, of course they don't understand. If religious people were able to think they wouldn't be religious.

Evolution is the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence.

Before 2008 the word evolution could not be found anywhere in Florida's public school science standards. This gave Florida's incompetent biology teachers (the Christian teachers) an excuse to not teach the most important basic fact of science. They no longer have that excuse and I hope these idiots-for-Jeebus have the decency to resign because Christians are not qualified to teach science. I also hope Florida's school administrations have the decency to fire and publicly humiliate all Christian science teachers because it's not fair to students to get stuck with idiot teachers who know nothing about the subject being taught.

Florida's scientists and Florida's competent science teachers were fed up with Florida's public school science standards which were given the worst possible grade by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. They worked hard to completely rewrite Florida's science standards, then they presented their new standards, which make evolution one of the big ideas of science, to the Florida Board of Education. In the introduction to the biology section of the standards they wrote "Evolution is the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence."

Guess who complained about putting the foundation of biology in the biology standards for public schools?

Every pastor, preacher, Christian politician, and other professional asshole demanded the word evolution be removed from the new standards. They're uneducated morons, their children are uneducated morons, and these assholes for the dead Jeebus wanted everyone else's children to be uneducated morons.

Thanks to the relentless ridicule of these Christian subhumans, which I participated in, the new science standards were accepted with virtually no changes. Instead of the worst public school science standards Florida now has the best science standards in this country, no thanks to the cowardly Christian scum who infest our state.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The National Center for Science Education wrote about the massive Christian war against science education in Florida. The treasonous Christian assholes lost their cowardly attack against America.

Fuck off Christian losers. You worthless scum can shut up about science because the opinions of idiots doesn't matter.

A number of scientists, educators, and citizens from around the state responded to the creationist complaints. A majority of the science standards writing committee itself urged the board to adopt the new set of standards, in a statement read by Gerry Meisels, a committee member and professor of chemistry at the University of South Florida. Meisels was quoted by the Associated Press (2008 Feb 11) as saying, "We are frustrated by the disproportionate publicity and the political pressure that has been brought to bear on decision makers. Yielding to these pressures would be a real disservice to Florida because it would not only seriously impede the education of our children but also create the image of a backward state."

New Florida state standards spark nonscientific backlash

EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION (102 posts)

My 12 best evidence for evolution posts

No other notion in any field of science has been as extensively tested and as thoroughly corroborated as the evolutionary origin of living organisms.

Where did the quote in the title of this post come from? The looney liberal New York Times? Richard Dawkins or some other atheist?

Who is this person who has the nerve to say evolution has been extensively tested and thoroughly corroborated, even though this concept conflicts with Genesis which every Christian knows is true because the Bible was written by their Magic God Fairy. Who is this person which all Christians must attack to defend their dead Jeebus?

"There is probably no other notion in any field of science that has been as extensively tested and as thoroughly corroborated as the evolutionary origin of living organisms." came from the Encyclopedia Britannica.

This means Idiot America's science deniers (most of our population) has to throw out the best encyclopedia in the world to defend their worthless dead Jeebus preacher man, who by the way was a science denier just like the tards who worship the dead Jeebus in the 21st century.

Hello Christians. What's it like to have to deny 150 years of scientific progress to live in your childish everything-is-magic fantasy world? Is it fun when normal people point at you and laugh at your breathtaking stupidity?

Normal people (also known as people who are not superstitious idiots) will probably be interested in the evolution article from the Encyclopedia Britannica. Christians, don't bother. You wouldn't understand and of course you don't want to make your dead Jeebus cry.

One teacher reported that students 'burst into tears' when told they would be studying evolution.

Another teacher described how students repeatedly screamed 'No!' when he began talking about evolution in class.

Please read the previous post for the entire paragraph from The Greatest Show on Earth, The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins.

Only in Idiot America would students cry and/or scream when a biology teacher teaches the foundation of biology. This is what Christian indoctrination is good for. It makes the victims of this disgusting child abuse into cowardly crybabies. What I would like to do to the professional subhumans and asshole parents who are responsible for this unforgivable child abuse I can't write here because the cowardly Google Corporation would vaporize my blog if I told the truth about what these worthless scum deserve.

To all Christians, no matter how moderate you think you are, fuck off and die. Every Christian is equal to a terrorist and everyone of you superstitious assholes have long ago lost your right to live on this planet.

Perhaps this is why most Americans know nothing about evolution. Almost 3 out of 4 American biology teachers are uneducated morons.

Please read this whole thing because it's important: Study: Most high school biology teachers don’t endorse evolution

"More high school students take biology than any other science course, the researchers said. They also said that for as many as 25 percent of them, biology is the only science course they will ever take."

Also I noticed biology is the first science class of most American students. Biology is their introduction to science. Here's an opportunity for a science teacher to get those students to love science instead of being bored to death by it. In Idiot America, unless a student is lucky enough to get a biology teacher who knows what she's talking about (only 28% of America's biology teachers), that student will most certainly think science is boring.

There is no science more exciting and interesting than the history of life and the development of new species thanks to evolution by natural selection. What a great opportunity to make American students love science but 72% of America's science teachers throw this chance out the window. They're either incompetent or they're pathetic cowards who want to avoid the harassment and threats from Christian thugs. Apparently they never care about the education of their students. I have to ask why did they bother to become teachers if they don't want to do their job properly.

The solution is extremely obvious. 72% of America's biology teachers must be fired (and publicly humiliated) immediately. Throw these worthless know-nothing teachers out the window. Which is more important, the lives of incompetent idiots, or America's students?

Please read this. I put part of it in bold.

"The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) strongly supports the position that evolution is a major unifying concept in science and should be included in the K–12 science education frameworks and curricula. Furthermore, if evolution is not taught, students will not achieve the level of scientific literacy they need. This position is consistent with that of the National Academies, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and many other scientific and educational organizations.

"NSTA also recognizes that evolution has not been emphasized in science curricula in a manner commensurate to its importance because of official policies, intimidation of science teachers, the general public's misunderstanding of evolutionary theory, and a century of controversy. In addition, teachers are being pressured to introduce creationism, “creation science,” and other nonscientific views, which are intended to weaken or eliminate the teaching of evolution."

Intimidation of science teachers. What's that about? If you guessed Christian assholes are threatening America's biology teachers you are correct. I noticed our government's policy is to kill terrorists. Are not these Christian thugs who threaten America's teachers equal to terrorists? Of course the President of the United States isn't going to order our Armed Forces to hunt down and kill the Christian scum who are trying to destroy America's science education, but most certainly that's what these subhumans deserve.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In his The Greatest Show on Earth, the Evidence for Evolution Richard Dawkins writes about the retarded cowardly Christian assholes of Idiot America.

The plight of many science teachers today is not less dire. When they attempt to expound the central and guiding principle of biology; when they honestly place the living world in its historical context -- which means evolution; when they explore and explain the very nature of life itself, they are harried and stymied, hassled and bullied, even threatened with loss of their jobs. At the very least their time is wasted at every turn. They are likely to receive menacing letters from parents, and have to endure the sarcastic smirks and close-folded arms of brainwashed children. They are supplied with state-approved textbooks that have had the word 'evolution' systematically expunged, or bowdlerized into 'change over time'.

In the same book Richard Dawkins writes about the cowardly crybaby wimpy Christian students who infest Idiot America's science classrooms.

In October 2008 a group of about sixty American high-school teachers met at the Center for Science Education of Emory University, in Atlanta. Some of the horror stories they had to tell deserve wide attention. One teacher reported that students 'burst into tears' when told they would be studying evolution. Another teacher described how students repeatedly screamed 'No!' when he began talking about evolution in class. Another reported that pupils demanded to know why they had to learn about evolution, given that it was 'only a theory'. Yet another teacher described how 'churches train students to come to school with specific questions to ask to sabotage my lessons'.

The professional and amateur science deniers who spread the usual lies about evolution are dishonorable.

dishonorable: Lacking integrity, unprincipled.

When I write about science, religious cults, baseball, chess, or anything else, I check my facts first. There's nothing more important to me than being accurate and honest. I don't make some claim without being absolutely certain it is true.

The science deniers don't bother with accuracy. They never check facts. They just throw stuff out there, never caring whether or not it's true, as long as it supports their position which is all the world's scientists are incompetent liars. Every time they write their bullshit they are insulting the experts in the subject they are lying about. They have no integrity. They are unprincipled. They're assholes for the dead Jeebus.

An example that I'm sick of because the Christian tards have repeated this bullshit a few hundred thousand times -- there are no fossils of transitional species.

A paleontologist, biologist, or any other educated person would look at this dishonest bullshit for the thousandth time and they would wonder why Christians are so morally corrupt and breathtakingly stupid, not to mention lazy. How hard is it to google transitional fossils to check their facts first? In less than ten seconds they would be looking at, for example, the numerous fossils of whale ancestors discovered recently in Pakistan. The fossil record that describes the transition from land animals to whales is complete.

Their pathological lying, their unimaginable stupidity, and their laziness is actually fine with me because these dishonorable assholes are the best possible advertisement for being normal, also known as atheism. Young people eventually go to universities and they learn the truth about the liars for Jeebus and then they waste no time throwing out the disgusting Christian Death Cult.

Christian idiots are terrified of normal people.

I wrote some comments at the Christian Taliban Post: Has Atheism Been Sold to America?

Human Ape

"But perhaps one of the best ways Christians can equip themselves to be a witness for Christ in America today is through the words of the Bible, faith in God's promises and encouraging words spoken by Christian leaders."

The disgusting Bible might impress a gullible uneducated moron but normal people laugh at the idiocy of people who believe in the idiotic stories.

The magic god fairy's promises? The stupidity burns.

Human Ape

"Has Atheism Been Sold to America?"

Being a normal person, also known as an atheist, is free. All a person has to do is stop being a gullible superstitious idiot.

Human Ape

Roderick Mitchell, if you want to stop the spread of atheism (also known as being normal) you need to keep your brainwashed children away from universities that teach science. A brainwashed child must remain forever stupid and uneducated to stick with your disgusting Christian Death Cult.

The stinking Jeebus corpse rose from the dead, became a zombie, then flew up to the clouds? Christians are insane.

Human Ape

Onesimus Oneisimus, there's more than one Billion of us normal people and we threaten to make your children realize their Christian parents are uneducated gullible morons. All we have to do is teach evolution and other scientific facts which are the greatest possible threat to your worthless idiotic Christian Death Cult.

A ten year old girl tells her mother a biology textbook published by Bob Jones University is bullshit.

The anti-science Bob Jones University, a fake university that teaches Bible bullshit as fact, publishes science textbooks for Christian tards who home-school their children to protect them from actually learning anything.

A ten year girl who loves science figured out her Bob Jones University science textbooks are full of bullshit and complained to her mother about it.

This is child abuse and the Christian scum at Bob Jones University who profit from their child abuse should be put in prison.

Top home-school texts dismiss evolution for creationism

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Home-school mom Susan Mule wishes she hadn't taken a friend's advice and tried a textbook from a popular Christian publisher for her 10-year-old's biology lessons.

Mule's precocious daughter Elizabeth excels at science and has been studying tarantulas since she was 5. But she watched Elizabeth's excitement turn to confusion when they reached the evolution section of the book from Apologia Educational Ministries, which disputed Charles Darwin's theory.

"I thought she was going to have a coronary," Mule said of her daughter, who is now 16 and taking college courses in Houston. "She's like, 'This is not true!"'

"I feel fairly strongly about this. These books are promulgating lies to kids," said Jerry Coyne, an ecology and evolution professor at the University of Chicago.

Coyne and Virginia Tech biology professor Duncan Porter reviewed excerpts from the Apologia and Bob Jones biology textbooks, which are equivalent to ninth- and 10th-grade biology lessons. Porter said he would give the books an F.

"If this is the way kids are home-schooled then they're being shortchanged, both rationally and in terms of biology," Coyne said. He argued that the books may steer students away from careers in biology or the study of the history of the earth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But, as Lovan noted in his piece, “83 percent of home-schooling parents want to give their children ‘religious or moral instruction.’” I weep for those children. For many of them are simply being brainwashed by their parents. Yes, that’s what it is—brainwashing. For a parent to ignore 150 years of solid science, feeding their children lies based on theology, is to deprive those children of the wonder of the universe—a wonder based on truth rather than medieval superstition. It kills off the part of a child that most needs nurturing: her sense of wonder, and all the possibilities of life that are opened up by that wonder. How many budding biologists have been stifled by their parents’ willful ignorance of science, and on their insistence that the Bible is the real source of biological information? Generation after generation of ignorance and religious dogmatism, all perpetuated by religously based home-schooling.

-- Jerry Coyne

The stupidity burns at Bob Jones University.

At Bob Jones University an idiot who pretends he's a scientist wrote "Evolution is an ideology; it is a religion. It definitely is not a fact."

Do I need to say anything more about the know-nothing full-of-shit Dr. Gray? I don't think so. His bullshit speaks for itself. This fake university, by the way, is where a Christian asshole of a previous post received a MA in Bible and a PhD in Theology. All that education to become a bullshit expert.

I have repeatedly written this before but one more time. Evolution is a basic scientific fact. Evolutionary biology is a branch of science. Scientific facts are not religious beliefs.

The Christian Death Cult is a religion. Evolution is the foundation of biology. Biology is not a religion.

Only in Idiot America would it be necessary to explain what should be obvious to any five year old in a normal country.

For any evolution deniers who are reading this post, I suggest you grow up and educate yourself. If you're too cowardly to grow up, or if you're too lazy to read Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne, or if you're too stupid to understand Why Evolution is True, then I respectfully suggest that you shut the fuck up and get out of here.

Guess where Bob Jones University is. It's in Idiot America of course.

What state in Idiot America? Most certainly Bob Jones University is in the Deep South, also known as the brain-dead Bible Belt. One moment, I will look it up.

Bob Jones University is in South Carolina, a state infested with Bible thumping Christian assholes. My prediction was correct. All of Idiot America is infested with idiots, but the highest concentration of idiots, also known as the Christian Taliban, is the Bible Belt of the Deep South, where Christians used their worthless Bible to justify slavery and where they still use their Bible to justify their racism.

Real universities don't teach bullshit. Real universities are not infested with science deniers. Bob Jones University is not a university. Bob Jones University is a school for idiots who want to be even more stupid than they already are. The Bob Jones University is equivalent to a Middle Eastern school where they teach students how to be terrorist assholes.

UPDATE:

March 30, 2000 Bob Jones University ends ban on interracial dating

Only 11 years ago in the year 2000 Bob Jones University had a rule that prevented white students and black students from going out with each other. Interracial dating was not allowed. Most likely the racist students didn't complain.

I'm not surprised. Evolution deniers are more likely to be racists. Christian assholes are more likely to be racists. The Bible Belt of the Deep South is where white Christians owned black slaves. Christian assholes have used their worthless Bible to justify slavery and they still use their idiotic Bible to justify their racism.

Please see The best way to eliminate racism from the world -- teach evolution.

Also please see "At school, they said segregation what's said in the Bible... Genesis 9, Verse 27."

One of the greatest days in baseball history

OFF TOPIC: This post has absolutely nothing to do with this blog but I want to share it here anyway because it was the most fantastic and amazing baseball game I have ever watched. Last night at work I watched the entire last game of the season between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays. (I get paid to entertain myself. It's a long story.)

It was a must win game for Tampa Bay and at the same time there was another game going on between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles which was a must win game for Boston. Both Boston and Tampa Bay were exactly even in the race to be in the playoffs and these were their last games of the season.

In Baltimore the Boston team was winning 2 to 1 and then there was a long rain delay. Meanwhile Tampa Bay, in the 8th inning, was losing 7 to zero. Everyone agreed Tampa Bay had virtually no chance of winning the game they had to win.

Then a Yankee pitcher was making some terrible mistakes before he was pulled out the game, including walking the batters and hitting the batters with the ball. This combined with some hits including a home run gave Tampa Bay 6 runs in one inning. The crowd was screaming.

In the bottom of the 9th inning Tampa Bay was still losing 7 to 6. There were two outs. There was nobody on base. The last Tampa Bay batter had two strikes. Everyone agreed there was no hope for Tampa Bay. Then the batter hit a home run, tying the game 7 to 7 and sending it into extra innings. The crowd went nuts.

Now it's the top of the 12th inning. The Yankees are up. They have zero outs. They have runners on 1st and 3rd base. Everyone agreed Tampa Bay was going to lose this game.

Then a Yankee batter hit the ball to the 3rd baseman who noticed the Yankee on 3rd base had started running for home plate and now was trying to return to 3rd base. He almost made it back to 3rd base in time but the 3rd baseman tagged him out. That still left two runners on 1st and 2nd base with only one out but the worst problem was just solved and eventually the Yankees had 3 outs with the two runners still on 1st and 2nd base. The crowd became deliriously happy.

Then during the bottom of the 12th inning some unexpected news from Baltimore flashed on the screen at the Tampa Bay stadium. Boston was winning in the bottom of 9th inning 3 to 2. The Boston Red Sox pitcher had just struck out two batters and he needed just one more pitch to strike out the 3rd batter to win the game. There was nobody on the bases. Everyone agreed Baltimore was going to lose. Then with two outs, two strikes, and nobody on base, Baltimore batters got 3 hits, scoring 2 runs, and the game was over. Baltimore won 4 to 3. Boston lost their last chance to be in the playoffs unless Tampa Bay lost their game. The Tampa Bay crowd, which had already gone wild repeatedly in this game, cheered like crazy because everything was going right.

Then incredibly, only four minutes after the good news from Baltimore, with 2 outs and 2 strikes and nobody on base, the Tampa Bay batter hit a home run (see the photo below). Tampa Bay won 8 to 7 and made the playoffs. There's no magic in the universe but this came pretty close to magic. The crowd went batshit crazy for several hours.

I live on the other side of Florida from Tampa Bay so I was extremely amazed and pleased.

"Me, who believes everything can happen – I'm saying, 'I can't believe this,' " said eternally optimistic manager Joe Maddon as players sprayed each other with bubbly non-stop. "I mean, really, it's so contrived, drawn-up, fiction. Hollywood would say, 'Get out of here. We've already done The Natural.' It's going to last a long time. This one left a mark."

Rays' improbable surge becomes reality

Boston Red Sox collapse and suffer a damning finish

The Rays looked dead in the water facing a seven-run deficit thanks to a pair of Mark Teixeira home runs, including a grand slam.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE 10/28/2011:

The Tampa Bay Rays were defeated by the Texas Rangers on the first round of the playoffs despite the first game which Tampa Bay won 9 to 0.

Last night I watched one of the most exciting come-from-behind victories in a World Series baseball game, game six between the Texas Rangers and the St Louis Cardinals. St Louis, like Tampa Bay, was unlikely to make it to the playoffs but they made it anyway, all the way to the World Series.

In game six last night St Louis had to win because they were behind 3 games to 2 games, and Texas could have won the World Series if they won last night. In this game in both the 9th and 10th innings they were just one strike away from elimination before they tied the game. Then in the bottom of the 11th inning St Louis hit a home run to tie the series 3 games to 3 games. I will watch the decidning game seven tonight. Here's a newspaper article about last night's game for the ages.

Baseball buzzing about game for the ages

By RONALD BLUM, AP Sports Writer

Friday, October 28, 2011

(10-28) 13:54 PDT ST. LOUIS (AP) --

The greatest World Series game ever, or one of the greatest?

Fans were debating the head-scratching decisions, amateurish mix-ups and mighty clutch performances of Game 6 on Friday, eagerly rehashing a series of performances unmatched in the championship's 108-year history.

The St. Louis Cardinals were one strike from elimination not once but twice, rallying to beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 on David Freese's home run in the 11th inning Thursday night and force the World Series to a Game 7 for the first time since 2002.

"I'm sure someone already has invoked Dickens," said John Thorn, baseball's official historian. "It was the best of games. It was the worst of games. It's certainly in the top 10 among postseason games. It may be in the top five."

Where it ranks is a question of personal preference. But certainly it's part of a group that includes extra-inning finales in 1912 and 1924, Don Larsen's perfect game in 1956, Bill Mazeroski's Series-ending home run in Game 7 in 1960, Carlton Fisk's 12th-inning home run that won Game 6 in 1975, the Don Denkinger game in 1985, the Bill Buckner error that ended Game 6 in 1986, hobbling Kirk Gibson's home run in the 1988 opener, the Jack Morris 10-inning shutout in Game 7 in 1991 and Luis Gonzalez's winning single off Mariano Rivera in Game 7 in 2001.

The World Series that many thought wouldn't be worth watching turned into a classic.

"It's very, very high up there," broadcaster Bob Costas said. "There are other all-time great games that have been played well from top to bottom. Part of what made this compelling is the gaffes, following by heroics — by the same guys. There were debatable decisions by both sides, so many twists and turns. The word 'unbelievable' is constantly used in sports. This game actually beat the adjective 'unbelievable.'"

Perhaps it's easier to rank this among only games at the same stage of the Series.

"I think among Game 6s, I might take this one," Thorn said. "For excitement, I would say the closest to this would be Game 7 in 1960, where you had lead reversals, horrible blunders, sloppy play, wretched pitching in spots and great heroics capped by the walkoff homer."

Before Thursday night, a team had been one out from elimination and come back to win just twice in Series history. Then, improbably, it happened in both the ninth and 10th innings.

"Good pitching? No. Good baseball? No," Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson said. "But there were so many goods — leadership, character, never-say-die attitude. It certainly was a thriller."

Almost forgotten were the bumbles and stumbles earlier in the night, when the teams comically combined for five errors that led to four unearned runs. The Cardinals dropped a fly ball and a popup.

"In terms of a team failing, repeatedly and profoundly, on the elemental challenges — and then prevailing? I've never seen a team overcome itself like that," said baseball historian Keith Olbermann of Current TV. "In that sense it's the greatest 'comeback' in a potentially decisive game."

The 623rd World Series game truly was like no other in baseball's championship.

"What happened today, I just think it's — you had to be here to believe it," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.

For those who weren't there or watching, David Freese hit a tying, two-run triple with the Cardinals down to their last strike in the ninth inning, Lance Berkman hit a tying RBI single with the Cards down to their last strike in the 10th, and Freese homered to straightaway center leading off the 11th inning.

One day, there ought to be a movie.

Before Freese's triple, the Cardinals had just an 8.7 percent chance of winning, according to the sabermetric Web site Fansgraphs.com. After the hit, St. Louis's percentage increased to 62.4.

"Given the context of the situation, that pitch produced one of the largest changes in championship expectancy in the history of the sport," Fangraphs' Dave Cameron wrote.

Josh Hamilton's two-run, 10th-inning homer boosted the Rangers' chances of winning to 92.3 percent. The came Lance Berkman's two-out, two-strike tying single in the bottom half and Freese's home run.

"Freese's heroics in both the 9th and 11th innings are historically unmatched," Cameron wrote. "He posted the highest WPA (.969) of any position player in a postseason game in history," he said, referring to the statistic for Win Probability Added.

Ahead 3-2 in the Series and on the verge of the first title in the 51-year history of a franchise that started as the expansion Washington Senators, the Rangers wasted 1-0, 3-2 and 4-3 leads, the latter when Alexi Ogando walked Yadier Molina with the bases loaded in the sixth.

Consecutive homers by Adrian Beltre and Nelson Cruz against Lance Lynn, and Ian Kinsler's RBI single off Octavio Dotel built a 7-4 lead in the seventh, but Allen Craig hit his second homer of the Series in the eighth to cut the gap against Derek Holland.

Then in the ninth, Albert Pujols doubled off Pedro Feliz with one out against Neftali Feliz, Lance Berkman walked on four pitches and Craig took a called third strike. Down 1-2 in the count, Freese tripled, sending a 98 mph fastball over the glove of a leaping Cruz in front of the right-field wall as the record crowd of 47,325 at Busch Stadium cheered wildly.

"I just said, 'Heater,'" Freese recalled of his guess.

He was stranded when Molina flied out.

But quickly, the Rangers went back on top 9-7 when Elvis Andrus singled off Jason Motte with one out in the 10th and Josh Hamilton hit his first home run in 66 postseason at-bats.

"It's about time! That was my first thought. But you've got to finish the game off, and we didn't do that," Hamilton said. "I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. We're just going to do everything we can to prepare. Guys are already talking about it. We're ready for Game 7. Shake it off and come back tomorrow."

Who really believed that it wasn't over at that point?

"I understand it's not over till you get that last out," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "I was just sitting there praying we got that last out."

Singles by Daniel Descalso and Jon Jay off Darren Oliver started the second St. Louis comeback in the bottom half. But when Scott Feldman retired Theriot on a run-scoring grounder to third for the second out, the Rangers were one out away again.

Pujols was intentionally walked for the fifth time in the Series before Berkman fell behind 1-2, took a ball and then singled to center on a 93 mph cutter from Scott Feldman.

"I didn't quite get it in enough," Feldman said.

Mark Lowe fell behind Freese 3-0, then worked the count full. Lowe threw a changeup and Freese connected for his fifth postseason homer, a long drive that had half a dozen fans jumping from their seats onto the grass to grab it before the ball even landed.

"He got it," Lowe said. "Just bad location. It wasn't the wrong pitch at all in my mind."

The only other similar instances were these:

In 1911's Game 5 at the Polo Grounds, the New York Giants trailed the Philadelphia Athletics 3-1 in the ninth before Doc Crandall hit an RBI double and scored on Josh Devore's single. Fred Merkle — of Merkle's Boner fame in 1908 — won it with a sacrifice fly in the 10th, but the A's won the title the next day with a 13-2 win at Shibe Park.

Then in Game 6 in 1986 at Shea Stadium, the Mets trailed Boston 5-3 in the 10th inning and had two outs and none on before rallying on Ray Knight's RBI single, Bob Stanley's run-scoring wild pitch and Mookie Wilson's bouncer to first that went through Buckner's legs for a game-ending error. The Mets then rallied from a 3-0 deficit in Game 7 to win 8-5.

The only other tying hit with a team one out from elimination was in Game 6 in 1992, when Otis Nixon's ninth-inning single off Toronto's Tom Henke tied it 2-2. The Blue Jays went on to win 4-3 in 11 innings.

In more than a half-century as a player and broadcaster, Fox's Tim McCarver has seen some stirring performances. He puts Thursday's along the twin Yankees comebacks of 2001 — when Tino Martinez and Scott Brosius hit two-run, ninth-inning homers that tied Games 4 and 5, and New York went on to win both in extra innings. He also mentions the Morris and Gonzalez games.

"Last night's game is right there," he said. "You don't even have to be a baseball fan to get involved with the passions and feelings of last night's game."
