Jesus.

Jesus is the symptom. The notion that no matter how ignorant and underachieving you are, you still matter in some all encompassing scheme that would move heaven and earth to enable you to respect yourself, is the disease.

Jesus is the problem here. Allah is the problem in the muslim world. The name of the bullshit changes but not the bullshit itself.

As Sam Harris observed in "Letter to a Christian Nation."

Quote:There is, in fact, no worldview more reprehensible in its arrogance than that of a religious believer: the creator of the universe takes an interest in me, approves of me, loves me, and will reward me after death; my current beliefs, drawn from scripture, will remain the best statement of the truth until the end of the world; everyone who disagrees with me will spend eternity in hell. ...

Seductive stupidity to the egotistical mind which simply thinks the fucking world can not get on without him/her but still ultimately stupid.

This seductive stupidity is only seductive to those wastral spirits that are subconsciously aware of the fact that there is no legitimate reason why they should be entitled to pride, and feelings of worthiness or adaquacy.

A newspaper poll? Oh please.

No credibility. (at least not with me)


I have NEVER met a young earth creationist in person. I was really embarrassed when I found out Ken Ham is an Aussie. Before that just thought he was an idiot with a face like a peeled penis . Also looks like he needs a good shit. Angel Cloud

The poll was done by Nielsen and had a sample of 1000, so the margin of error is around 3%.

I have personally met some Young Earth Creationists, but still the figure given by that poll was higher than I would think the level would be.
