Bob Dylan, Tomorrow is a Long Time -- This song was played at the end of the last show of the 1st season of Walking Dead on AMC.

Tomorrow is a Long Time

If today was not a crooked highway,
If tonight was not a crooked trail,
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

I can't see my reflection in the water(s),
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,
Or can't remember the sound of my own name.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,
There's beauty in the rainbow in the sky,
But no one and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin',
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

Simon & Garfunkel- Kathy's Song

Eva Cassidy - Kathy´s song

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.

Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings, op.11

Leonard Slatkin Conducts the BBC Orchestra on September 15 2001 in honor of those who lost their lives a few days prior. Visuals from BBC's 'Last Night of the Proms' and ABC's 'Report from ground zero'.

3,000 innocent people were murdered by Muslim scum. The cowardly idiotic heaven fantasy which most American morons believe is what made this atrocity possible. There are many good reasons why all religions must be eradicated from this planet. This terrible religious violence is perhaps the best reason. Enough is enough. If you're a theist, grow up or get off my planet.

Galveston -- Jimmy Webb recently performed it himself, in the way he intended it, slow and reflective.

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run

Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

"Come again, sweet love doth now invite"
John Dowland

Come again! Sweet love doth now invite
Thy graces that refrain
To do me due delight,
To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die,
With thee again in sweetest sympathy.

Come again! That I may cease to mourn
Through thy unkind disdain;
For now left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In deadly pain and endless misery.

Gentle Love, draw forth thy wounding dart,
Thou canst not pierce her heart;
For I, that do approve
By sighs and tears more hot than are thy shafts
Do tempt while she for triumphs laughs.

Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can see.

If I could read your mind love,
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstore sells.
When you reach the part where the heartaches come,
The hero would be me.
But the heroes often fail.
And you won't read that book again
Because the endings just to hard to take.

I walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script.
Enter number two, a movie queen
To play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me,
But for now love lets be real.

I never knew I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But the story always ends.
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feeling that you left.

I never knew I could feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back.

I'm from Chicago and this song is very important to me.

Lake Shore Drive, Chicago. Song by Aliotta, Haynes and Jeremiah

Duo-piano intro.

Verse 1:
There’s a road I’d like to tell you 'bout,
Lives in my hometown.
Lake Shore Drive the road is called,
And it’ll take you up or down.
From Rat's on up to riches,{1}
Fifteen minutes you can fly.
Pretty blue lights along the way{2},
Help you ride on by.
And the blue light’s shinin' with a heavenly grace,
Help you ride on by.

Chorus:
And there ain’t no road just like it,
Anywhere I’ve found.
Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive,
Headin' into town.
Just slippin' on by on LSD,{3}
Friday night trouble bound.

Short instrumental break featuring pianos.

Verse 2:
It starts up north from Hollywood{4},
Water on the drivin' side.
Concrete mountains rearin' up{5},
Throwin' shadows just about five.
Sometimes you can smell the green,
If your mind is feelin' fine.
There ain’t no finer place to be,
Then runnin' Lake Shore Drive.
And there’s no piece of mind or place, you see,
Ridin' on Lake Shore Drive.

Chorus:
And there ain’t no road just like it,
Anywhere I’ve found.
Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive,
Headin' into town.
Just slippin' on by on LSD,
Friday night trouble bound.

Short instrumental break featuring pianos.

Verse 3:
It’s Friday night and you’re lookin' clean.
Too early to start the rounds.
A ten-minute drive from the Gold Coast back{6},
Makes you sure you’re pleasure bound.
And it’s four o’clock in the mornin',
And all the people have gone away.
Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive,
Tomorrow is another day.
And the sun shines fine in the mornin' time.
Tomorrow is another day.

Short instrumental break featuring pianos.
(whoo!)

Chorus, slightly altered:
And there ain’t no road just like it,
Anywhere I’ve found.
Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive,
Headin' into town.
Just snakin'{7} on by on LSD,
Friday night trouble bound.

Pianos to end.

[LAKE SHORE DRIVE]{8} Words & Music by: Skip Haynes Produced by: Scott Gibbs Engineered by: Barry Mraz Stings arranged by: Bob Schiff Performed by: Aliotta, Haynes and Jeremiah{9}{10} First released:{11} Single: 1971 Album: 1971

{1}The name of the club was actually Ratso's Restaurant & Lounge, located at 3415 North Broadway, Chicago, Illinois. In the song, they call the restaurant, "Rat's" as a shortened version of the name and to make a play on words: As you drove south on Lake Shore Drive the neighborhoods change and go from a low- to middle-income bracket to a very wealthy demographic. Thus "rat's to riches." Ratso's started out as a restaurant/tavern on Chicago's near-north side in the early '70s. There was an open mic almost every night, and after performing, artists passed the hat through the audience. That's when I first saw Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah. Eventually, Ratzo's got all ritzy, and began serving dinner with linen tablecloths, higher prices and paid entertainment. It was never the same.

{2}"Pretty blue lights" refers to the mercury vapor, street lamps that were used in Chicago in the 1970s. Heated mercury vapor inside the lamp was used to produce light in a relatively efficient way. When they are first turned on, the mercry vapor lamps produce a dark blue glow because only a small amount of the mercury is ionized and the gas pressure in the arc tube is very low, so much of the light is produced in the ultraviolet band. As the gas heats up and increases in pressure, the light shifts into the visible range and the high gas pressure causes the mercury emission bands to broaden somewhat, producing a light that appears more-white to the human eye, although it is still not a continuous spectrum. Even at full intensity, the light from a mercury vapor lamp is distinctly bluish in color, hence the lyrics about pretty blue lights.

{3}The double entendre refers to both the physicality of driving on Lake Shore Drive, often called LSD by Chicagoans, which winds along the Lake Michigan waterfront on the North Side of Chicago and the drug culture influenced slippin' (or trippin') on the drug LSD.

{4}"It starts up north from Hollywood," refers to West Hollywood Avenue, which initially runs eastbound but then turns south and becomes Lake Shore Drive.

{5}"Concrete mountains rearing up, throwing shadows just about five," refers to the high-rise housing along the waterfront, on the west side of Lake Shore Drive, casting their shadows across the Drive as the sun sets in the late afternoon.

{6}The Gold Coast is a strip of expensive, high-rise, residential waterfront properties, that are close to the downtown area of Chicago and to exclusive shopping, that runs along Lake Shore Drive for several blocks.

{7}Up until the mid 1980's there was a spot on Lake Shore drive that was a big S-shaped curve. During rush hours, traffic would slow and it was always a problem area for commuters. In the late '90s the S-Curve got straightened out to alleviate the traffic jams, but back in 1970, when this song was written, the curve was still there, and this reference to "snakin' on by," is a nod at the love/hate relationship Chicagoans had/have with the S-Curve.

{8}While not receiving much air play anywhere but locally, "Lake Shore Drive" is the epitome of a youthful anthem for the Baby-Boomers of the Chicagoland area. Peppy, with local and drug related references and 2 jammin' pianos on the track, the song seemed to lift the listener to a near eurphoric state anytime it was played. Ask anyone who was a young adult in Chicago during the '70s and they will tell you how much this song still means to them.

This music was played in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off at Chicago's Art Institute. An excellent movie, an excellent art museum, and equally excellent music.

Also, Chicago is a fantastic beautiful city. It's too bad about their winters. Five years ago I moved to south Florida but I often get homesick for my Chicago.

Wings of a Dragon~Megan Mullally & Nick Offerman

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

Breakaway

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I’d just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I’d end up happy
I would pray
I could break away
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes, till I touch the sky
I gotta
Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And break away
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane far away
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget the place I come from

You Raise Me Up

Celtic Woman - You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

I have never been there but I love Australians.

Waltzing Matilda

Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."

Plot and details

The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker making a crude cup of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When the sheep's ostensible owner arrives with three policemen to arrest the worker, he drowns himself in a small lake and goes on to haunt the site. The lyrics contain many distinctively Australian English words, some now rarely used outside this song. These include:

waltzing

derived from the German term auf der Walz, which means to travel while working as a craftsman and learn new techniques from other masters before returning home after three years and one day, a custom which is still in use today among carpenters.^[14]

Matilda

a romantic term for a swagman's bundle. See below, "Waltzing Matilda."

Waltzing Matilda

from the above terms, "to waltz Matilda" is to travel with a swag, that is, with all one's belongings on one's back wrapped in a blanket or cloth. The exact origins of the term "Matilda" are disputed; one fanciful derivation states that when swagmen met each other at their gatherings, there were rarely women to dance with. Nonetheless, they enjoyed a dance, and so they danced with their swags, which was given a woman's name. However, this appears to be influenced by the word "waltz", hence the introduction of dancing. It seems more likely that, as a swagman's only companion, the swag came to be personified as a woman.

Another explanation is that the term also derives from German immigrants. German soldiers commonly referred to their greatcoats as "Matilda", supposedly because the coat kept them as warm as a woman would. Early German immigrants who "went on the waltz" would wrap their belongings in their coat, and took to calling it by the same name their soldiers had used.^{[citation needed]}

The National Library of Australia states:

Matilda is an old Teutonic female name meaning ‘mighty battle maid’. This may have informed the use of ‘Matilda’ as a slang term to mean a de facto wife who accompanied a wanderer. In the Australian bush a man's swag was regarded as a sleeping partner, hence his ‘Matilda’. (Letter to Rt. Hon. Sir Winston Churchill, KG from Harry Hastings Pearce, 19 February 1958. Harry Pearce Papers, NLA Manuscript Collection, MS2765)^[15]

swagman

a man who travelled the country looking for work. The swagman's "swag" was a bed roll that bundled his belongings.

billabong

an oxbow lake (a cut-off river bend) found alongside a meandering river.

coolibah tree

a kind of eucalyptus tree which grows near billabongs.

jumbuck

a sheep. ^[16]

billy

a can for boiling water in, usually 2–3 pints.

Tucker bag

a bag for carrying food ("tucker").

troopers

policemen.

squatter

Australian squatters started as early farmers who raised livestock on land which they did not legally have the right to use; in many cases they later gained legal use of the land even though they did not have full possession, and became wealthy thanks to these large land holdings. The squatter's claim to the land may be as uncertain as the swagman's claim to the jumbuck.

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

Two facts: The human ape species is not at the top of the food chain. The universe is trying to kill us.

Christian tards, just because you're too bloody stupid to understand a basic scientific fact doesn't mean there's some debate about it.

It makes no sense to have a debate about something when there's nothing to debate. For example, nobody would waste a minute of their time debating whether or not the earth is flat. The earth is not flat, period. There's nothing to debate.

Another example is evolution. No educated person thinks there's some debate about the basic facts of evolutionary biology. All species share a common ancestor. Evolution by natural selection is how the world works. Nobody should waste their time debating the truth of evolution because that would be equivalent to debating a flat-earther. A flat-earther is an insane uneducated moron, and an evolution denier is equally insane and equally stupid. It would defy all common sense to pretend these idiots have something to debate.

The next time a Christian asshole says there's some debate about evolution, as in whether or not it's true, the correct response would be the title of this post.

After explaining to Christians why I don't debate fucking idiots, I suggest they stop being lazy cowards, grow up, and educate themselves. I tell them to study all the evidence until they understand it. I tell the tards to get back to me in a century because that's how much evidence there is to study. I also explain that the evidence for evolution is growing so rapidly they will never finish studying it no matter how long they live. If they have the nerve to ask for my help I tell them to grow up. If they need somebody to hold their hand to be able to understand simple facts, they will never be able to learn anything.

If you're a Christian tard or a Muslim terrorist study this you fucking idiot:

evidence for evolution, 81 posts

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

One more thing Christian assholes.

Don't ever tell me I should be civil. You dirt bags spread lies about science, you brainwash small children, you threaten biology teachers, and you insult the world's biologists every time you suggest there's a problem with the strongest basic fact of science.

I give you subhumans all the respect an asshole deserves.

So take your "be civil" and shove it you worthless stupid piece of shit.

A University of Chicago biologist wrote a book.

A University of Chicago biologist wrote a book. Amazon.com sells it. There are comments about the book on amazon. I wrote a comment there. Here it is.

"But if he's trying to woo creationists and convince them that it's entirely possible to believe in God and accept evolution at the same time, he's pretty tone-deaf."

Why would an atheist want to do that? It's dishonest to say it's OK to accept science and believe in supernatural magic. Are you suggesting that Jerry Coyne should be dishonest to encourage Christians to grow up and accept scientific facts?

"Anyone who is going to convince creationists needs to treat them with more respect than Coyne does."

Creationists will get respect when they earn it. Until then they should be ridiculed relentlessly, especially since they think they're qualified to tell biology teachers how to do their jobs. However Jerry Coyne was extremely polite in his book, but apparently he didn't suck up to morons enough to satisfy you.

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

Way too many pro-science atheists think it's a good idea to be dishonest to convince science deniers to accept basic scientific facts. There are many problems with being a liar. When a person makes things up he can't be trusted even when he's telling the truth. Also, even Christians, as hopelessly retarded as they are, know when they're being lied to. When atheists stupidly say Christians can accept evolution and still believe in the dead Jeebus everyone knows they're lying.

Another problem with being a liar is it's immoral. Christians are morally corrupt. Why would an atheist want to imitate their lack of moral values? They are only disgracing themselves and everyone else who is not a theist.

The one time I actually convinced a science denier to admit magical creationism is bullshit he said he would still believe in the dead Jeebus. I didn't say "no, you can't do that" but I did tell him I bet he eventually figures out the religious implications of science make supernatural fantasies unnecessary. I most certainly didn't say it's OK to be a Christian because there's nothing OK about being an idiot.

Also, I have frequently told "theistic evolutionists" they're idiots to think magic is one of the mechanisms of evolution. I tell them if you can't accept biology as pure science it would be better if you believed in Genesis instead of polluting basic scientific facts with bullshit.

Improving the scientific literacy of Americans is important but impossible until the Christian Death Cult is eradicated. Dishonestly telling a Christian it's OK to say a fairy guided evolution is wrong wrong wrong. If they invoke their fairy to explain the development of the modern human ape species they are not accepting science. Instead they are polluting science and insulting the world's scientists. That bullshit should not be encouraged.

In Idiot America only 16% of the population accepts evolution without supernatural magic. That's disgraceful and wimpy dishonest atheists are part of the problem.

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

If you still haven't purchased Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne please see Some stuff I stole from Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True then buy the book.

From the book cover which talks about the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection: And that evidence is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from a huge spectrum of scientific inquiry ranging from genetics, anatomy, and molecular biology to paleontology and geology.

Evolution deniers should buy Coyne's book and study it carefully. If after making an honest effort to understand the evidence they're still creationists, they should get psychiatric help.

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

Jerry Coyne talks about the evidence for evolution in this must-see one hour youtube video:

'Why Evolution Is True' by Jerry Coyne, AAI 2009

This youtube video is only 3 minutes long:

Jerry Coyne - Why Evolution is True

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

UPDATE: At amazon.com I wrote this review of Why Evolution is True.

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 mentally disturbed.

This excellent book should convince evolution deniers to grow up and accept reality but will it? I hope so but I doubt it. Stupid can't be fixed.

The problem is the science deniers will probably not read this book, or if they do read it they won't try to understand it. Instead they will look for imaginary problems. Creationists are creationists because they are afraid of the religious implications of evolution. They are just too cowardly to even try to understand why they have been wrong about everything their entire wasted lives.

This is perhaps the most important sentence in Why Evolution is True and religious people need to understand it if they want to live in the 21st century instead of hiding in the Dark Ages: "If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator."

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

ANOTHER UPDATE: At amazon.com I wrote some comments for an idiot who had the nerve to criticize the brilliant Jerry Coyne.

"A book titled 'Why Evolution is True' seems like an evangelistic tract for the religion of evolution."

It's always easy to identify an idiot. For example only an idiot would say an entire branch of science, evolutionary biology, is a religion.

Grow up or shut up mister, unless you enjoy being laughed at.

Your logic is "If I'm not able to understand a scientific explanation of nature, then the scientific explanation is wrong because I know more about biology than every biologist in the world. Also, the only alternative to the scientific explanation I'm not able to understand is supernatural magic, therefore the magic god fairy did it."

There's no magic in the universe mister. Also, you don't understand how evolution works. If you read the book you didn't understand any of it.

I will not waste my time explaining why everything you wrote is a misconception because your god disease which makes you afraid to think is incurable.

In a comment you wrote "Whether they came at the hand of a creator or were chaotic will be debated long beyond my time. I hope the debate remains civil."

What debate? There is no debate. Evolution has been an established truth for more than a century. The evidence is now more massive and more powerful than Darwin could have imagined possible. Your idiotic magical creationism fantasy is childish nonsense.

Also there's nothing chaotic about natural selection. You don't even know what you're talking about.

There is no debate and there's absolutely no reason to be civil towards people like you who are too lazy to understand science or unable to understand science. I think you have both problems. You're lazy and you're not too bright. That's fine with me but you got a lot of nerve to pretend you know more about biology than biologists when it's obvious you know nothing.

Since you don't know what you're talking about why do you think you're qualified to criticize the brilliant Jerry Coyne? You should be ashamed of yourself.

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

The rest of this post is totally off-topic. I love amazon.com which has made libraries and bookstores obsolete. Their idea to allow negative comments for the books they sell was brilliant. When the company was born they figured out that customers would appreciate both positive and negative comments because that would help them make buying decisions.

I had a hunch Amazon would be a wildly successful company a long time ago when I heard two co-workers talk about the good experience they had shopping there. If I had taken advantage of that hunch and bought shares of amazon I would be a millionaire today.

Today's Wall Street Journal has an extremely interesting article about the birth and success of amazon. Here it is: Birth of a Salesman

Thousands murdered thanks to every idiot who has a childish belief in supernatural magic.

This religious atrocity would have been impossible without a cowardly belief in a magical heaven. Every god-soaked idiot who believes in the childish heaven fantasy is part of the problem.

Religious violence has cost this country more than a trillion dollars (and thousands of lives). That massive amount of money could have been invested in scientific progress instead. Theists don't care about progress. They prefer their magical fantasy world. They are too cowardly to grow up and join the 21st century. The god idiots are good for nothing but getting in the way.

A Magical Master of the Universe is the most idiotic idea ever invented, but if it was real I bet it would like this music,

especially if it was moving over the face of the waters.

The most stupid misconception about biology: evolution is a religion.

Too many times I have read about Christian tards who want to force the removal of the foundation of biology from biology education. Their excuse is public school science teachers shouldn't be teaching religious ideas (as if scientific explanations of natural processes are equal to supernatural magic).

Or they say if biology teachers are allowed to teach biology (also known as evolution) then they must give equal time to a god fairy's magic wand (or what they dishonestly call intelligent design). Their logic (if you want to call their non-thinking logic) is if one religious idea is taught (as if a basic scientific fact is a religious concept) then alternate religious ideas like magical creationism should be taught.

Another way Christian assholes try to destroy science education is by trying to force biology teachers to dishonesty teach students there are some problems with evolution which is as stupid as saying there's a problem with our planet's orbit around its star.

When all else fails, Christian terrorists harass and threaten biology teachers if they have the nerve to teach biology (also known as evolution).

The same Christian idiots who think or dishonestly pretend evolution is a religion also call atheism a religion, as if non-religious people are religious, or non-theists are really theists. It's impossible to be more bloody stupid than a Christian moron.

Read this carefully, Christian tards. Evolutionary biology has religious implications as do all other branches of science. Every time a scientific discovery is made, that's one more reason to not believe in supernatural magic (of course another good reason to not believe in magic, also known as god, is it's a ridiculously childish idea).

It's fair to say evolution has more religious implications than any other scientific fact. For example for obvious reasons evolution kills the cowardly heaven fantasy (which makes terrorism possible). If we're just apes (we're just apes) then there's no reason for a magic god fairy to give our ape species favorable treatment. If evolution is true (evolution is true) then heaven is bullshit (heaven is bullshit).

Like all other natural processes, evolution takes away one of the reasons gods were invented by ancient idiots. If you accept evolution and still have a childish belief in a magical god, then you believe in a god that never had anything to do, unless of course you stupidly try to hide your god-of-the-gaps somewhere else, only to be chased away by future scientific progress.

Evolution kills your idiotic god fantasy but that's not a good reason to call evolution a religion. Evolution is nothing more than a scientific explanation for the diversity of life. It says nothing about the existence or non-existence of magical god monsters. Evolution is science. Science is not religion.

It's pathetic I need to explain what's ridiculously obvious to you brain-dead Christians.

Christian theocrats like to use their "evolution is a religion" bullshit to justify their constant attempts to stick their Christian Death Cult into our public schools. Christians disrespect our constitution. Or even more stupidly they are constitution deniers. They say "there is no wall of separation between church and state" as if the author of the Declaration of Independence (our 3rd president, Thomas Jefferson) was joking when he called the Establishment Clause of our Bill of Rights our wall of separation between church and state.

The Establishment Clause means what it says. Christians can't throw out our constitution to stick religious symbols or religious talking-to-yourself (AKA praying) or religious fantasies like magical creationism into public schools or any other government organization. Just because Christian tards have a problem with the most important concept of biology being taught in biology classrooms is not an excuse to stick their god fairy where it doesn't belong.

Some Christians who think they are moderate (as if being a superstitious idiot is moderate) might complain about this post. They will say they accept evolution and they also respect the constitution. I would ask these people "Then why do you belong to an anti-science organization? Please notice there's nothing more anti-science than your disgusting resurrection of the decomposing Jeebus into a zombie, a fantasy all Christians must believe. Also, the vast majority of your Christian friends are science deniers. Why do you want to belong to their cult? What's your problem? Are you too cowardly to grow up?"

The most retarded Christian assholes might say evolution has no evidence. To those brain-dead subhumans I direct you to my 81 posts about the evidence for evolution.

By the way Christians, a big part of growing up is having the ability to admit you're wrong about something. The evidence shows beyond any doubt you have been wrong about science your entire wasted lives. You Christians, every single one of you, are wrong about everything. There is no magical master of the universe, your dead Jeebus was nothing more than a worthless preacher man, and evolution without supernatural intervention is a basic fact of science.

Unless you enjoy being called a retard, you must accept evolution and you must accept it as pure science. You're still an evolution denier if you childishly believe a god fairy invented, used, or guided evolution. You're still an evolution denier if you don't admit your worthless decomposed Jeebus is nothing more than a dead ape.

Instead of complaining about my telling the truth about your problem (you're all morons) why don't you Christians (and all other religious idiots) seriously consider growing up.

One more thing Christian cowards. Did you know Muslim terrorists are evolution deniers just like you? Are you proud to share your magical fantasies with terrorists?

Theocratic Christian assholes, respect our constitution or get out of my country.

From yesterday's New York Times: For Bachmann, God and Justice Were Intertwined

Michele Bachmann: Theocratic Christian asshole, airhead, science denier, pathological liar, and Republican candidate for President of the United States.

Not to worry, this brain-dead asshole for the dead Jeebus has absolutely no chance of winning the Republican nomination for president. Also, she will never be selected to be Vice-President. She's too stupid even for Republican voters.

From the New York Times article about Michele Bachmann: “They’re teaching children that there is separation of church and state, and I am here to tell you that’s a myth — that’s not true,” she told an evangelical Christian audience while running for Congress in 2006.

Bachmann has a law degree so she most certainly knows her "separation of church and state is a myth" is dishonest bullshit. She's a typical Christian asshole who has no respect for our constitution, no respect for normal people (also known as atheists), and no respect for non-Christians. She wants to make America a theocracy and she belongs in prison for it.

The Establishment Clause (which every educated American knows is what the author of the Declaration of Independence called our wall of separation between church and state) means what it says.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Also, the Supreme Court has used the Incorporation doctrine of the 14th Amendment to make the Establishment Clause applicable to state and local governments, including public schools.

The Establishment Clause, which Christian scum either deny or ignore, is the only thing that prevents Christian tards from destroying America's science education, and the only thing that prevents Christian assholes from making America a theocracy like Iran.

America and every other civilized country should be doing everything possible to not be anything like the theocracies in the violent Middle East. This means there should be absolutely no tolerance of anything that conflicts with our priceless Establishment Clause. There must be no god bullshit in our schools and our local, state, and federal governments. The In god we trust bullshit on our currency must be removed. The idiotic one nation under god in the American Pledge of Allegiance should be changed to one nation under Canada.

America's Christian assholes are constantly trying to throw out our Establishment Clause. Their favorite target is our public schools which they want to be more like Christian churches. Christian scum would especially like to force biology teachers to teach Genesis which describes the Christian Magical Creationism bullshit.

Even President Obama, who is obviously sucking up to Idiot America's voters, shows his disrespect for our constitution with his childish god bless america bullshit at the end of his speeches.

Christian scum, your death cult has a terrible reputation and you make that reputation even worse when you stupidly attack our constitution so you can stick your dead Jeebus where he doesn't belong. Keep your bullshit in your churches, also known as monuments to stupidity. I know you assholes are too cowardly to grow up. You should at least have the decency to respect our constitution. If you can't do that, go live in Iran where your kind belong.

Perverted priests molest little boys because they know their sexual child abuse organization will let them get away with it.

This is my 9th post about Catholic scum.

From today's New York Times: Bishop Indicted; Charge Is Failing to Report Abuse

All Catholic priests mentally abuse children with god bullshit. The vast majority of Catholic priests like to rape little boys. Obviously Catholic parents should never let their children be alone with a priest, and probably most Catholics already know this. It's fair to ask these parents why do they belong to a sexual child abuse organization, also known as the Catholic Church.

An even better question is why don't Catholics grow up and be normal, also known as atheist, also known as not insane. Their death cult became obsolete in 1859 and it's even more ridiculous in the 21st century.

Once again I waste my time trying to explain reality to Christian tards.

I wrote some comments at a Christian Taliban website.
New Evolution Documentary Aims to Keep Science In, and Religion Out, of Classrooms

Teaching evolution remains a controversial issue. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., writing as a columnist for The Christian Post, called naturalistic evolution "the great intellectual rival to Christianity in the Western world." "It is the creation myth of the secular elites and their intellectual weapon of choice in public debate," he wrote.

Mohler, you're an uneducated twit. Why do you think your worthless opinion matters?

Evolution doesn't need any adjectives. I noticed you cowardly Christian morons never talk about naturalistic gravity.

There is no debate about evolution. Will you brain-dead liars ever stop your constant lying?

Evolution kills your childish Christian fantasies, but only an idiot like you Mohler would call the strongest basic fact of science a myth. Go tell the molecular biologists at MIT and Harvard about your "evolutionary biology is a myth" bullshit and see what happens you worthless coward.

"A 2010 Gallup poll revealed that 40 percent of Americans believe in creationism – that is, that God created humans in their present form about 10,000 years ago."

This means 40% of Idiot America's population are idiots. What a surprise!

The problem is actually much worse. While virtually 100% of the world's biologists accept evolution without supernatural magic as fact, only 16% of Americans accept evolution without pretending magic is one of its mechanisms. America is the most backward and most uneducated country of the Western world.

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

Edgeworth, there is no debate. Your childish idiotic magical creationism fantasy is bullshit. There's not one shred of evidence for your fairy's magic wand.

Evolution is a basic fact of science and the foundation of biology. Unlike your magic fantasy, evolution has tons of powerful evidence from molecular biology and other branches of science, evidence you're too lazy to study and too bloody stupid to understand.

I suggest, Edgeworth, that you shut up about what you know nothing about, and it's obvious you know nothing about science.

Your "There is absolutely no evidence of change beyond the kind level." is bullshit. How hard is it, moron, to google evolution evidence?

What do you know about ERVs and Human Chromosome Two? Nothing. You know nothing.

"She is an atheist, whose only goal is to keep God out of the discussion."

Virtually all scientists are atheists, also known as normal people. What is wrong about being normal?

There is no discussion. Scientists have accepted the massive and still rapidly growing evidence for evolution for more than a century. What cave have you been hiding in?

Of course keep your god fairy out of science education. Are you so bloody stupid you think scientists invoke supernatural magic to explain the natural world?

Edgeworth, you're a science denier because you're a cowardly uneducated moron. Grow up or shut up.

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

Evolutionists are guilty of calling the evolutionary part of science as fact when in fact it is at most speculative since nobody has actually seen the alleged dramatic changes over the alleged millions of years. Perhaps they should stick to only what can be demonstrated in the laboratory.

wierdsma, if you weren't an uneducated moron you would know biologists can see the history of life with their own eyes when they compare DNA sequences of different living species. Educate yourself or shut up about what you know nothing about. Also, weirdsma, biologists are called biologists, not evolutionists. Understand tard boy?

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

Liars for the dead Jeebus spread lies about science because their worthless Jeebus preacher man had the exact same childish magical creationism fantasy Christians have today. Christians want to be as stupid as the dead god-man they worship, and they're willing to spread lies to defend their idiotic anti-science Christian Death Cult.

2012 Election: Where GOP Presidential Candidates Stand On Evolution

If you're a Republican but unlike most Republicans you're not an anti-science twit, this post is for you.

This website answers the question "Which Republican candidates for USA president are pro-science and which candidates are uneducated morons?"

If a person does not completely accept evolution, which is the most important basic fact of science and the foundation of biology, then it's fair to say that person is a retarded idiot, certainly not qualified to be president of anything.

Four of the eight Republican candidates for president are anti-science tards. Another Republican candidate doesn't want to talk about it. Three Republican candidates accept the mountains of evidence for evolution but they can't talk about science without invoking their magic god fairy for something (usually it's some bullshit about a magical god using evolution to create his favorite ape species, the human race).

So it's fair to say all eight of these Republican politicians are either extraordinarily stupid or just plain stupid. What a surprise!

Who should the rare intelligent Republican vote for? I'm a Republican but I usually solve the anti-science twit problem by voting for the Democrats. This year I would vote for Huntsman but since he's not as stupid as the other Republican candidates he has virtually no chance of winning the nomination.

Why aren't the most retarded anti-science morons laughed out of the competition for the nomination? Because this is Idiot America which has the most anti-science population in the Western world.

Rick Perry: Three times this governor of Texas appointed an evolution denier to be chairperson of the Texas State Board of Education. Rick Perry is not just anti-science. He has relentlessly attacked science and science education. Rick Perry is an enemy of America, equal to a terrorist, and he should be put in prison for it. Instead this uneducated idiot for the dead Jeebus thinks he's qualified to be President of the United States.

Rick Perry, science denier, uneducated moron, preacher man for the dead Jeebus

Jon Huntsman: This former governor of Oklahoma is strongly pro-science. Sometimes he can even talk about evolution without sticking god in there somewhere. He is the only Republican candidate for president who had the intelligence to give this warning: "I think there's a serious problem. The minute that the Republican Party becomes the anti-science party, we have a huge problem. We lose a whole lot of people who would otherwise allow us to win the election in 2012." The Republican voters are so impressed with this best possible choice to be president the polls show that he will get one percent of the vote. 99% of Republicans are against him because they want their president to be a god-soaked cowardly moron who is terrified of reality.

UPDATE 1/15/2012: Jon Huntsman has decided to drop out of the drop out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. I was going to vote for him in the Florida presidential primary on 1/31/2012.

Michele Bachmann: This airhead from Minnesota uses the code words intelligent design when she really means My god fairy waved its magic wand to create people out of nothing. Like Rick Perry she has done everything she can to destroy science education in America. Like Rick Perry she belongs in prison for treason.

Newt Gingrich: He was asked about evolution five years ago. Notice that he invokes a Christian idiot, Francis Collins. He likes to suck up to theocratic Christian assholes, so he said he had no opinion about the Dover Trial.
Do you view evolution as "just a theory" or as the best explanation for how we came to be?
Evolution certainly seems to express the closest understanding we can now have. But it's changing too. The current tree of life is not anything like a 19th-century Darwinian tree. We're learning a lot about how systems evolve and don't evolve. Cockroaches became successful several hundred million years ago and just stopped evolving.
Where do you come down on teaching intelligent design in schools? Do you think the ruling in the Dover, Pennsylvania, case was appropriate?
I believe evolution should be taught as science, and intelligent design should be taught as philosophy. Francis Collins's new book, The Language of God, is a fine statement that combines a belief in God with a belief in evolution. I do not know enough about the Dover case to critique the judge's decision, but I am generally cautious about unelected judges establishing community standards—that is the duty of elected officials.

Mitt Romney: Mitt Romney is one of the three candidates who accepts science, but much more than Huntsman he can't talk about evolution without invoking his magic fairy. During the Vietnam War this coward dodged the draft by being a Mormon missionary. He's a god-soaked idiot. He's also not much of a Republican. Obama got his idea for forcing Americans to get health insurance (whether they want it or not) from Mitt Romney doing the same thing when he was governor of Massachusetts. Personally I'm not interested in being forced to subsidize the health care of slobs who abuse themselves with junk food and cigarettes. So to avoid the penalty for refusing to be intimidated by the government who works for me, I will dishonestly say I'm a god-soaked Christian Scientist which is a Christian cult that would rather invoke the dead Jeebus than see a doctor.

Rick Santorum: It's impossible to be more stupid than this god-soaked idiot from Pennsylvania. When he was governor of that state he unsuccessfully tried to destroy science education to defend his dead Jeebus. Fuck off and die Rick Santorum.

Update re Santorum: This Christian asshole really is a fucking idiot. So breathtakingly stupid he's even worse than Rick Perry. This retard for the dead Jeebus is not qualified to be president of anything. He wrote this about the strongest and most important basic fact of science: "I think there are legitimate problems and holes in the theory of evolution."

Santorum, you imbecile, evolution is reality. Reality doesn't have any problems and holes. You know nothing about science and you're not qualified to tell science teachers how to do their jobs. Also, you fucking idiot, we are not descendants of modern monkeys, we share an ancestor with those creatures, and we are more closely related to the other ape species. Also, you uneducated moron, evolution is not a liberal belief. It's a scientific fact and it has nothing to do with a person's political views.

You're a stupid piece of shit Santorum and you got a lot of nerve to pretend you're qualified to President of the United States.

This is from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/24/2012-election-gop-candidates-evolution-_n_934045.html#s333320&title=Rick_Santorum

Rick Santorum -- who strongly opposes the theory of evolution -- took aim at rival GOP contender Jon Huntsman this week over his stance on evolution.

Asked to define his own position on the issue, Santorum told the Philadelphia Inquirer in an email, "I believe in Genesis 1:1 -- God created the heavens and the earth. I don't know exactly how God did it or exactly how long it took him, but I do know that He did it. If Gov. Huntsman wants to believe that he is the descendant of a monkey, then he has the right to believe that -- but I disagree with him on this and the many other liberal beliefs he shares with Democrats. For John Huntsman to categorize anyone as 'anti-science' or 'extreme' because they believe in God is ridiculous."

Santorum once proposed an amendment that would have forced the inclusion of intelligent design in public school curricula.

WNYC reports:
He also has his name tied to intelligent design: the "Santorum Amendment" to the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act would have forced public schools to offer the creationist perspective in science classes, and to call into question the scientific evidence supporting evolution. That amendment was rejected. In a 2005 interview with NPR, however, Santorum stated that he was no longer comfortable with intelligent design being taught in schools. But he did maintain his opposition to evolution, emphasizing that classroom focus should be on evolution's discrepancies.

"I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom. What we should be teaching are the problems and holes and I think there are legitimate problems and holes in the theory of evolution. And what we need to do is to present those fairly from a scientific point of view," Santorum said. "And we should lay out areas in which the evidence supports evolution and the areas in the evidence that does not."

Rick Santorum Is King of the GOP's Anti-Science Presidential Contenders

Ron Paul: Ron Paul loves magical creationism so of course he's a science denier.

"I think there is a theory, a theory of evolution, and I don't accept it," Paul said.

Paul said he thought it was "very inappropriate" for presidential candidates to be judged on a matter of science. He also defended creationism while saying that all sides of the creation debate have an element of uncertainty.

"The creator that I know created us, each and every one of us and created the universe, and the precise time and manner," Paul said. "I just don't think we're at the point where anybody has absolute proof on either side."

Ron Paul, you fucking idiot, there is no debate. Your magical creationism is bullshit. Evolution is fact. Also Ron Paul, you fucking moron for the dead Jeebus, you can't pretend your total ignorance and denial of reality doesn't matter when you expect to be elected to be President of the United States. If you deny evolution you're too retarded to be a mayor of a small town. Get off my planet subhuman.

Herman Cain: Herman Cain doesn't want to talk about it, therefore it's fair to say he's a pro-magic asshole who doesn't give a shit about science. Also, Herman Cain thinks his Magical Master of the Entire Universe loves him so much that it magically cured him of some life threatening disease he had. Wow, it's impossible to be more stupid than that.

Maybe some day there will again be a real Republican like Barry Goldwater who lost the election for president in 1964. Goldwater had a very low opinion of Christian scum.

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

UPDATE: It is now 1/27/2012. Last night there was a Republican debate in Florida where I live between the four candidates who haven't dropped out yet, science deniers Ron Paul and Rick Santorum, and the only two candidates who have a chance of winning the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich (they're both pro-science). I already used an absentee ballot to vote for Gingrich in the Florida primary on 1/31/2012.

During the debate the evolution denier, Santorum, disgraced himself, the Republican Party, and his country when he said global warming is a hoax. He is a candidate to be President of the United States and this uneducated moron implied the world's scientists are liars. Of course the idiot is a Christian.

Obama Supports Evolution

Posted by Christopher Sisk

April 2, 2008 |

Barack Obama did a short interview for the York Daily Record and was asked about his views on evolution. Until now, I wasn’t 100% sure where he stood on this very important issue. Now, I can rest assured that my candidate for president officially supports the teaching of scientific facts and not “… theories that frankly don’t hold up to scientific inquiry.” in our public science classrooms.

Q: York County was recently in the news for a lawsuit involving the teaching of intelligent design. What’s your attitude regarding the teaching of evolution in public schools?

A: “I’m a Christian, and I believe in parents being able to provide children with religious instruction without interference from the state. But I also believe our schools are there to teach worldly knowledge and science. I believe in evolution, and I believe there’s a difference between science and faith. That doesn’t make faith any less important than science. It just means they’re two different things. And I think it’s a mistake to try to cloud the teaching of science with theories that frankly don’t hold up to scientific inquiry.”

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

"I'm a Christian" is another way of saying "I'm an idiot". However I would bet Obama is being dishonest. He could be a normal person, also known as an atheist. He knows if he had told Idiot America he was normal he never would have been elected.

It's unfortunate he can't admit in this backward country that faith is bullshit but most definitely Obama is pro-science and pro-science-education.

Obama is brilliant. He's been an excellent president and he would have been an even better president if he didn't have to suck up to the looney liberals who voted for him. While Americans endure a terrible economy, with millions unable to get a job, Obama wants to punish the people who do most of the hiring in this country with higher taxes. Also, thanks to his out of control spending America had its credit rating downgraded for the first time in history.

Unfortunately Obama also said "That doesn’t make faith any less important than science. It just means they’re two different things."

Faith is bullshit for gullible idiots. Science describes how the world works. Does Obama really think faith and science are equal? I doubt it.

A quote from a young woman in Scotland:

"Faith is by definition belief without evidence – it’s pulling things out of your ass; it’s clinging to things that you might well know are faintly ridiculous; it’s putting up barriers to honest inquiry; it can be used as an impediment to curiosity and intellect, and it is simply the most ridiculous method of discovering or knowing anything about reality. It’s not a virtue – and it shouldn’t be a virtue in wider society any more than it would be in a court of law."

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

All Christians are assholes. Many Christians are terrorists.

I will let this excellent article about the Christian terrorists of Idiot America speak for itself.

One of several dozen examples:

Students said -- during class -- that she should be "smacked around and beat up" for fighting the prayer banner.

The prayer banner for Our Heavenly Father is in the gym of a Rhode Island public high school, an obvious violation of the Establishment Clause of our Bill of Rights. A student who complained about this school's disrespect for our constitution was repeatedly threatened with violence. Christian assholes and Christian terrorists are out of control in Idiot America.

What's really strange is Christian tards think they actually have moral values even though they believe in a homicidal maniac with unlimited magical powers (the god fairy of the Bible).

I can't say this often enough: Fuck off and die Christian scum.

“Evolution is a fact, as securely established as any in science, and he who denies it betrays woeful ignorance and lack of education."

For Republican candidates, politics trump science

The British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, in a piece written for the Washington Post, wrote that “a politician’s attitude to evolution, however peripheral it might seem, is a surprisingly apposite litmus test of more general inadequacy. This is because unlike, say, string theory, where scientific opinion is genuinely divided, there is about the fact of evolution no doubt at all.”

Dawkins wrote, “Evolution is a fact, as securely established as any in science, and he who denies it betrays woeful ignorance and lack of education, which likely extends to other fields as well. Evolution is not some recondite backwater of science, ignorance of which would be pardonable. It is the stunningly simple but elegant explanation of our very existence and the existence of every living creature on the planet.”

American Christians and Muslim terrorists solved their problem with the religious implications of evolution. They just deny the whole thing.

Here in Idiot America we have two major political parties. They have many differences but their most interesting difference is the Republican Party has become infested with evolution deniers, also known as uneducated morons, also known as Christian assholes.

I'm a big fan of Jon Huntsman. He accepts evolution and he has good ideas about foriegn policy and our economy. Unfortunately Republican voters prefer politicians who are anti-science twits.

Not all the Republican candidates are at war with science. Last month, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman tweeted to all the world, “To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."

Such sentiments have left Huntsman with about one percent support among likely Republican voters, far behind the anti-science candidates.

Clearly, Huntsman’s problem is that he’s not crazy enough.

A Christian asshole on a Ohio school board said "I’m a Christian. I believe God created us. I’d like to see God back in school.”

Ohio school board member unsuccessfully tried to force biology teachers to teach magical creationism.

Springboro, Ohio is an affluent suburb of Cincinnati, so this is not like some backward hick-infested small town in Alabama. But still their five member school board has two uneducated morons, also known as Christian assholes.

One of the Christian assholes (Kelly Kohls) wanted to change the science curriculum of their public high school to force biology teachers to teach intelligent design, which are code words dishonest Christian assholes use when they really mean god-magically-created-people-out-of-nothing. Did the Christian asshole expect experienced biology teachers to read Genesis to their students?

Another Christian asshole (Scott Anderson) on the same school board said "If it came up, I would support it. I'm a Christian. I believe God created us. I'd like to see God back in school."

Kohls and Anderson, I would like to give you two tards a choice. You can be forced to wear a straitjacket in an insane asylum, or you can go to prison for treason. Most certainly you Christian scum don't belong on a school board because it's an insult to the students and teachers to have uneducated morons like you idiots making decisions about science curriculums.

Besides showing your disrespect for our constitution, you have the nerve to think biology teachers would actually cooperate with your childish idiotic idea to make them teach magic in a science classroom. If you tards had any sense of decency you would admit you're too bloody stupid to be on a school board and you would resign immediately.

Members of Idiot America's school boards are elected by idiot voters. There's got to be a better way to choose people who can control what is taught to America's students. Perhaps school board members should be chosen by the teachers, or perhaps school boards should not be able to make changes to public school science standards. The way it is now the Christian war against science education will never end.

Do you want to know whether or not evolution is true, but you're too lazy to study the evidence or you're too stupid to understand the evidence?

Christians have a lot of problems. For example they're lazy and they're stupid.

Their laziness and stupidity can be a big problem if and when they want to make decisions about the truth of scientific facts like evolution.

Actually they already made their decision. Anything that conflicts with the childish bullshit in Genesis is wrong. Period. No need to study any scientific evidence because the magic god fairy is always right, and the magic god fairy wrote Genesis.

But just in case you're a Christian who is willing to question the bullshit called magical creationism but you're too stupid to understand evidence or too lazy to study it, this post is for you.

You should never have to trust anyone to accept the science of evolution because the evidence should be enough to convince any sane person. But if you're a lazy idiot you might have to decide who to trust. Do you trust your Baptist preacher who knows nothing about science or do you trust the National Academy of Sciences?

At the bottom of this post is some information from wikipedia about the National Academy of Sciences. Please notice that 200 members have won a Nobel Prize. These are the best scientists in the world. Do you know any Baptist preachers who have won a Nobel Prize? I didn't think so.

So what does the National Academy of Sciences say about evolution? They say a lot including this stuff:

But today there is no scientific doubt about the close evolutionary relationships between humans and all other primates. Using the same scientific methods and tools that have been employed to study the evolution of other species, researchers have compiled a large and increasing number of fossil discoveries and compelling new molecular evidence that clearly indicate that the same forces responsible for the evolution of all other life forms on Earth account for the biological evolution of human characteristics.

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

Based on the strength of evidence from DNA comparisons, the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees lived approximately 6 to 7 million years ago in Africa. The evolutionary tree leading from this ancestral species to modern humans contains a number of side branches, representing populations and species that eventually went extinct. At various times in the past, the planet appears to have been populated by several human-like species.

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

Please see Some quotes from the National Academy of Sciences for the rest of it.

You also might want to read Evolution deniers trust the results from paternity testing in humans. The same method is used to determine evolutionary relationships.

Now that you know what the best and most experienced scientists in the world say about evolution (they call it a basic scientific fact), what about your Alabama preacher who says the world's scientists are wrong about science?

Preacher Man: If something looks complicated then god magically created it out of nothing.

OK Christian tard, what's your decision? Since you're too lazy to study scientific evidence and since you're too stupid to understand anything, you're going to have to decide who to trust, the science deniers or the scientists.

Since you're a Christian you're a coward so you're probably going to go with whatever makes you feel good, whether or not it has anything to do with reality. Most likely you will choose to trust the breathtaking stupidity of your preacher man because the heaven fantasy he preaches is exactly what a gullible coward like you needs to keep from becoming even more mentally disturbed than you already are. Since evolution, also known as reality, kills the heaven fantasy, you're going to have to trust your worthless preacher so you can continue to hide in the Dark Ages.

As of spring 2009, the National Academy of Sciences included about 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates.^[4] It employed about 1,100 staff in 2005.^[5] The current members annually elect new members for life. Election to membership is one of the highest honors that can be accorded to a scientist and recognizes scientists who have made distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. Nearly 200 members have won a Nobel Prize.^[4]

Hello Christian tards. Please read this to understand why if you have faith you're an idiot.

I was one of the millions of victims of religious indoctrination at a Catholic school. Like all other religious brainwashing, I was repeatedly told (several thousand times) that faith is a virtue. The only reason those ugly idiot nuns thought faith is a virtue was because their Death Cult would go extinct without it. After growing up I figured out faith is bullshit. This lady from Scotland explains why perfectly.

Faith is by definition belief without evidence – it’s pulling things out of your ass; it’s clinging to things that you might well know are faintly ridiculous; it’s putting up barriers to honest inquiry; it can be used as an impediment to curiosity and intellect, and it is simply the most ridiculous method of discovering or knowing anything about reality. It’s not a virtue – and it shouldn’t be a virtue in wider society any more than it would be in a court of law.

The god fantasy and the idiots who believe in it.

god: (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) The creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being

Imagine a person who has lived on a remote island her entire life, and somehow she had never before heard of the god fairy fantasy. One day she leaves the island and travels to an idiot country, for example America. She sees lots of amazing stuff, but there's one thing that surprises the heck out of her. It's a Christian she meets who asks her if she believes in god.

Visitor from a remote island: What's a god?

Christian tard: It's a supreme being that has used its unlimited magical powers to create stuff out of nothing, like for example the entire universe and the creatures on this planet.

Visitor from a remote island: That's bullshit. Why would you ask if I believed that?

Christian tard: Because here in America virtually all of us believe it, except for about ten percent of the population.

Visitor from a remote island: Why do you think this thing has magical powers? That's ridiculous. And how could that many people be so nuts?

Christian tard: It's not a thing. It's God, God with a capital G. It loves us so much it will send us to heaven if we believe in it and worship it.

Visitor from a remote island: What's a heaven?

Christian tard: A happy magical place where God magically sends us after we drop dead, but only if worship it, otherwise God will send us to another magical place where we are tortured for externity.

Visitor from a remote island: You're out of your fucking mind. There's really other people like you?

Christian tard: There's millions of us and it's in your best interest to join us in church to worship God.

Visitor from a remote island: Is that what you call your insane asylums, a church?

Christian tard: Here in America it's not considered insane to believe in a god with unlimited magical powers.

Visitor from a remote island: It's in my best interest to go back to my remote island where everyone is normal.

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

My point is if a person never before heard of the Christian bullshit she could never have imagined it. The whole thing is beyond ridiculous. It's fair to say virtually all of America is an insane asylum full of incurable idiots.

The most important bullshit of the Christian Death Cult: the soul

Soul: Most Christians understand the soul as an ontological reality distinct from, yet integrally connected with, the body. Its characteristics are described in moral, spiritual, and philosophical terms. When people die, their souls will be judged by God and determined to spend an eternity in heaven or in hell.
My definition of soul: Invisible bullshit invented to explain how a stinking decomposing corpse gets sent to the bullshit called heaven.

The soul bullshit is extremely important to cowardly Christians because their childish heaven fantasy is totally dependent on it. If there really was no magical heaven (there's no magical heaven) Christians would become even more mentally disturbed than they already are.
The soul is an excellent example of religious bullshit that was invented to justify other religious bullshit. Every Christian fantasy is bullshit and it always takes more bullshit to justify every bullshit fantasy.

Another example of bullshit to justify bullshit: I remember reading a Catholic website that was trying to justify how a three day old corpse would magically return to life and not look like a zombie. The solution was simple and like all other bullshit, this bullshit solution has not one shred of evidence. Everything is made up by theologians and of course theology is a bullshit subject.

According to the Catholic bullshit that justifies the Resurrection bullshit, the god fairy, not wanting its son the dead Jeebus to look like a zombie, waved its magic wand to make the corpse not decompose at all. All internal organs, the skin, the tiny brain, everything was magically kept exactly the same as it was before the dead Jeebus was executed.

The point is all magic requires more magic. The whole thing, every religious cult including Christianity, depends on a massive amount of magic. Take out the magic for any of it and the whole religion goes extinct. The most important magic is the god fairy itself. It must have unlimited magical powers or else nothing is going to work.

Only an idiot would tolerate so much magical bullshit to be a member of these idiotic cults (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.).

Does this mean every religious person (about five billion people) is an insane gullible idiot?

YES.
Is magic a childish idea? Of course it is and even Christians agree magic is a childish and idiotic idea. So how do Christians justify their belief in unlimited magic? For every question Christians have an idiotic answer that's always good enough to justify their fantasies. They simply don't call magic "magic". They refuse to admit their god fairy is nothing more than a magical asshole that performs ridiculous magic tricks.

Instead they call their god's magic by another name which of course is a synonym for magic: miracle. According to Christians miracles are not magic tricks. Miracles are miracles. Also, "intelligent design" are not code words for magic. Intelligent design is intelligent design, identical to the design of an automobile, as if people who manufacture cars are doing the exact same thing as a god who magically makes stuff out of nothing.

Of course none of this makes sense. Every Christian justification for their bullshit is bullshit. The Christian Death Cult is nothing more than a gigantic pile of bullshit.

Everything I have written so far in this post is extremely obvious to a normal person, but Christians never understand. That's why they're still Christians. They're just too bloody stupid and deranged to understand anything, no matter how simple and basic it is.

It would be wonderful to be able to just ignore these drooling morons for the dead Jeebus, but unfortunately these Christian assholes are constantly trying to stick their bullshit into our public schools and into our state and federal governments, never caring about the Establishment Clause of our constitution and never caring about the fact they are ridiculed every time they try to get away with destroying this country.

What America needs is less sucking up to Christian scum and more ridicule for assholes who want to destroy science education, destroy scientific progress, and destroy the minds of innocent children.

If you're a normal person who sucks up to religious retards you are as morally corrupt as the superstitious assholes you suck up to.

It's nice to know Idiot America isn't completely infested with idiots.

The stupidity of Christians is overwhelming.

To see some real burning-out-of-control Christian idiocy read the comments at this Christian Taliban website which has an article about a Christian asshole who was fired for teaching supernatural magic in his science classroom. I wrote some comments there myself including these two comments. Christian tards of course don't know what a scientific theory is.

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

READ THIS CHRISTIANS:

THEORY: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses. The contention that evolution should be taught as a "theory, not as a fact" confuses the common use of these words with the scientific use. In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences. In this sense, evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.

"An Ohio school board's decision to fire a middle-school teacher under the allegations of teaching creationism and religious doctrine in his classroom was upheld by a local judge Wednesday. The science teacher, who was dismissed in January, plans to file an appeal."

An Ohio school board's decision to fire a middle-school teacher under the allegations of teaching SUPERNATURAL MAGIC in his SCIENCE classroom was upheld by a local judge Wednesday. The FAKE science teacher, who was dismissed in January, plans to file an appeal BECAUSE LIKE MOST CHRISTIAN SCUM HE LIKES TO WASTE TAXPAYER MONEY TO DEFEND HIS WORTHLESS DEAD JEEBUS.

Freshwater is a god-soaked idiot. It's not fair to students to get stuck with a fake science teacher who denies basic scientific facts like evolution.

All Christians are not qualified to teach science because they either reject science completely or they stick their magic fairy in there somewhere. All Christian science teachers should be fired and publicly humiliated. Let worthless Christian idiots mentally abuse students in Sunday School. Or better yet, don't let any Christian tard come anywhere near children.
