And George Carlin was even more right:

I really should start keeping a catalogue of stories like this whenever a theist asks me how atheists can have any morals without god. I never hear about atheists killing people like this at all - not that there aren't sick atheists fucks around like anyone else, I suppose, but more often than not, I hear about fully grown men and women doing terrible things to their children or neighbors because they thought that's what god wanted. Sick fuckers.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan RE: More superstitious fuckwittery

God damn. It's the 21st fucking century and people still believe in witchcraft? You're right, we're still in the Dark Ages. And we always will be as long as people still believe in magic spells whether they come from religions or witchcraft. I don't mean to sound smug or superior, but it feels like we who believe in reason are the ones who ventured out of the jungle while the religious remain in the jungle afraid of the sunlight.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

FYI: the next president of the Unites States may be wearing magic underpants... And the US want to be taken seriously...?

Everything if magic underpants boy is 'elected'.
I read the post, and immediately wanted to smash my PC. That would be pointless, so I didn't.
Seriously though, there should be a certain point where a crime automatically results in execution. Maybe some innocent people would be wrongfully convicted- but given the high repeat offense rate in the U.S, we would save more lives than we would end. Also, anyone who believes in magic underwear shouldn't be able to get a job at McDonald's, let alone government office, let alone the Presidency. In a smart society, simply believing in magic underwear would be an automatic disqualification. Here, people don't even think twice about it. Of course, maybe that's because most people in America don't even watch news beyond "BridalPlasty" and "Ghosthunters". What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
Besides, we all know how to tell if someone is a witch. You see if they weigh the same as a duck.

Close, but no cigar: you throw a suspected witch in the water. If he/she floats, it's witchcraft*, so it's a witch. So then you burn them. But if he/she sank, well, then he/she wasn't a witch, was he/she? Clear as a bell, I should think. Logic you can't fault, can you? *In the middle ages nobody could swim. Everybody drowned once in the water. Especially since they were fully dressed. With layers of heavy, water logging clothing. The lesson here is of course that when you're demonized, you die! Either way! Whether you truly are a PITA or falsely accused, a.k.a. 'character assasination'! It doesn't matter, you die! |
