The really alarming thing is that this fool Akin sits on the House Science committee.

The tea party should be asked before they vote if they believe the world is flat? Question two – Did man land on the moon? I believe the majority of them would fail…..For these ignorant zombies to back a pathetic candidate like Romney/Ryan they must have a very hard time tying their shoes. These bovine zombies will actually vote for someone who shipped the jobs to China, made millions off of it then hid the money in tax shelters around the world and won’t show his tax returns and his vice president pick talks of “Forcible Rape” with Todd Akin. These dim bulbs would do the goose step like good little brown shirt pawns for their billionaire masters. Puppets of the new right. They want to hold America hostage. Fight them and never give into these zombies!

Looking at #6 of the theories, “Religious upbringing can affect rates of homosexuality” I would say there is probably only one action by an outsider which could possibly influence the sexual preference development: little girls who have been raped just might feel moved to seek females when they find themselves unable to enjoy male partners as adults.

The guilt-flooding religious tactic? Come on, who among the peoples of this world has ever stopped helping themselves in time of need because they felt guilty about masturbation?

The really desperate irony is the men in South Africa who claim to believe that they can rape lesbians out of their preference for ladies.

If there were a way to repole people – and I don’t see why anybody needs or has the right to control or even comment on anybody’s preference except his/her own – being raped by a member of the sex you personally find sexually repellent must surely be the method least likely to succeed.

This article is very poorly written. There are many very egregious examples of pseudo science being circulated today, both right and left. The ultimate example is placing man above all the other creatures on the earth as if we could exist without them. We are an intergral part of the world around us and the way we are going now, we will be just a fleeting flash in the earth’s history. Enjoy it while you can and please try to make the trip more pleasant for those around you.

Instead of speculating and making wild guesses, why not take a few minutes and read the facts? Here we go!

The term “Right Wing Science” is an oxymoron if ever there was one.

Goodness. The right wingers are not aware that root of agnostic – is a- gnostic, not a gnostic.
In that sense, the Othodox and the Catholic Churches have been a-gnostic ever since Syrian born- Aramaic Christian, Ireneus, Bishop of Lyonn, penned “Contra Heresäsus” ” against heresies” against the gnostic doctrines of Origenes at the end of the 2nd century AD.

The Catholic Church conducted crusades against gnostic hreretics, and even burnt Giordano Bruno at the stake for espousing gnostic doctrines- at the beginning of the 18th century- and not merely for espousing the theories of Copernicus as taught oin many histroy books. That shows progress. 300 years ago, the Catholic Church burnt gnostic heretics at the stake.
Today, someone adhering to a modern version of the gnostic heresy can run on the Republican ticket and a naive Catholic with power dreams of his own lines up with a gnostic. Hm…

Now, if we use “Contra Heresäsus” as the standard guideline for establishing the difference between “Orthodox” Christianity and “heterodox” Gnosticism, we will see that the Church of the Latter Day Saints incorporates many gnostic teachings and Secret society cult aspects of gnosticism that St. Ireneus was writing against in “C0ntra Heresäsus”. I am certainly not advocating that anyone go the stake for their beleifs. I am merely pointing out the C LDS has a body of doctrines that are “not mainstream” or “orthodox” Christian, but are, in more ways than one, a “revival” of “the Valentineans” against which St. Ireneus was writing.

Not only that. Mitt Romney is an ordained “Stake Bishop “in the Church of the Latter Day Saints – itself a fact that somewhat blurs the distinction between Church and State. As an ordained Stake Bishop, Mitt Romney must also know his religion of origin, the C’LDS, is also a formal, signed member of an alliance of “New Age, New Revelation Cults- with its Headquarters overseas in Turin Germany. The organisation is called CESNUR. Other consenting, formally associating “new revelation” religious bodies include- “The Reformed Branch Davgidians”- highly gnostic-chilasitic in outlook, The Rev. Moon´s “little Brother of Christ”- Unifiction Church – again authoritarian-narcisstic and highly gnostic in doctrine and practice. The General Church of the New Jerusalem (Swedenborgian- with a classic episcopal church structure, but an an elitist – “us-them” distinctive outlook on culture- however, totally in line with St. Ireneus, and cites St. ireneus rejection of the gnostic heresies, and last but not least- L. Ron Hubbard´s “Scientology”- picked up from Aloistair Crowley´s “Order of the New Dawn” via J.P.L. solid fuel rocket pioneer – jack Parsons- high gnostic non-Christian “science fiction”.

Now, Stake Bishop Mitt Romney knows of his CLDS religion of origins formal allegiance in with the aforementioned “new age, new revelation movements”, in the CESNUR organisation, all but one of which ae heavilly gnostic – heterodox- heretic – in doctrine and religious practice described by St. Ireneus. I think somebody from the press should put a few questions to Mitt about what he thinks of his religions formal association with the other “new age, new age, new revelation cults in the CESNUR organisation, especially its formal alliance with Scientology. What does Mitt think of the formal alliance of the CLSD with L. Ron Hubbard´ßs highly controversial “Scientology=”

I do believe the pentacostals, the Southern Baptists, and others who are not too well versed in either Science or Church History have a right to know about the Mormon-Scientology alliance in CESNUR. If Mitt knew and disapproved, why did he not appose membership in CESNUR?

Rape is rape, wrong, illegal, and immoral. I wonder if they would feel the same way if one of their loved ones was raped. (Hopefully it never happens.)

This stuff sounds like 3rd world thinking — which is what America will turn into if the extreme right wing has its way. A plank from the 2012 platform of the Republican Party of Texas says: “We appose the teaching of higher order thinking skills, critical thinking skills & similar programs that are simply a relabeling of outcome-based Education which focus on behaviour modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.”
So, if a child believes that the moon is made of cheese or that Jesus Christ was our first president, educators are not to correct the child because they might change the child’s “fixed belief” thereby undermining mom and dad. What’s even scarier is that Texas prints the vast majority of the country’s school text books.

Wayne, please, your spelling is atrocious, and your thought process is atrocious and you statement is about as stupid as any I’ve read on here. Please go away. I spent about 3 seconds of my vaulable time trying to decipher what you have stateded.

Why do you ask bubba. It seems you already have it all figured out. You must be a roads scholar. Why don’t you explain it instead of asking someone else whom you are not going to believe anyway. How did you know that republican kids are gay. Your stupid Ass dumbsh*t president is the one who is gay and if you don’t know it he is a Dummacrat. You are really a dumb Sh*t.

I am far from a Bible scholar and perhaps a Kevin Smith quote can only go so far with some, but beneath the ongoing d*ck and fart jokes, Dogma made a lot of very interesting points. One of which was, “the
whole book is slanted and gender-biased: a woman’s responsible for the
first sin, the fall of man, and the expulsion from Eden. a woman cuts
Sampson’s coif of power, a woman asks for the head of John the Baptist.
Read that book again some time – women are painted as bigger antagonists
than the f****** Egyptians and Romans combined.”

It just goes to show what LOONS this party is made up of. Nothing they say surprises me. No matter what proof real science shows, they will discount it, if it goes against their lunatic beliefs.

The Bible can’t be seen as a history book, except in the sense of the history of man’s relationship to the monotheistic god of the Israelites. Much of it was borrowed from other races’ stories (like the Great Flood) and changed to fit a particular point that they wanted to make

It is such a shame how ignorance is promoted to the very end when someone does not want to admit that they are wrong. Ignorance is not a virtue and no one should ever try to approve of its existence. Shame on Akin is not enough this charlaton should not be a respresentive of anything let alone the congress. This is the problem with the Teabagger Party and the extreme evangelical right. Willard the Rat man had no alternative but to turn Akin away even though Paul Ryan stands for the same extreme beliefs.

What a hack job! The whole Loch Ness taught in school canard. That school has less than 50 kids going to it. I’m a conservative that doesn’t believe in any of these things. Some of the 7 I honestly don’t know what the author is trying to get at “scientifically.” Yes “Science” is in quotes.

Its like when you watch MSNBC and Rachel Maddow blasts what a “famous” “right-wing” “Republican” said and I’m like “Who is that person?” And Rachel builds that person up to be so “important.” And I’m still going “Huh, I never heard of him.” Then Rachel “quotes” something that he said and I’m like “Do we have video? What was the context? Still, who is this person anyway?” Then she portrays him to be this mean, bitter, religious, stupid person and gives the audience the righteous smirk of righteous indignation. And I’m like “Is that person here to rebut these claims?” No they are never there.

And MSNBC moves on the next like segment.

True those movements were responsible for mass killing but Christ, your savior preached brotherly love,and forgiveness, turn the other cheek, so you followers shouldn’t have killed anyone. The people you wrote about believed in nothing, but all the kings in europe were devout Christians, the church played a very big role in their kingdoms and still they were responsible for the death of millions. The Tsars in Russia killed as many as Stalin, and they were Eastern Orthodox. All followers of Christ, all of them. How about the Klan in the US, had the symbol of Christianity on their robes and hanged thousands of innocent people in the name of Christ, or slave owners who read the bible everyday. Calculations are that over 400 million slaves died at the hands of devout people. Do you deny any of this? Deny that there were slave owners? Show me in the new testament where it says this is ok. Why is it ok for one sect of Christianity to slaughter another sect of the same religion?Like Catholics and Protestants, which just stopped killing each other recently in N. Ireland. Did Christ preach any of this hatred in his sermons? Why do all you devout people hate the poor and love the rich? I not just singling out Christianity, all the religions have blood stained hands.
So call me a Dumb ass all you want but it won’t change the complete hypocracy in the way religion is practiced today

The idea seems to be that if some things are highly unlikely, like dinosauurs co-temporeous with humans, then everything else is equally unlikely.
Stephen Hawking’s position that a scientific law is not a scientific law if a supernatural being can break it isn’t very logical, for example. A supernatural being is by definition one which breaks the laws of nature. So it boils down to the assertion that there are no supernatural beings, which is a tautology if we say “natural equals all that exists”, a bare claim if we give “supernatural” its normal and accepted use.
If a being has free will then its behaviour is not governed by laws. Free will appears to exist. It may be an illusion, but that’s not a position that anyone can adopt on a everyday basis. Hawkings’ view that the natural is all that exists isn’t one which appears to be born out by everyday experience.
The fact that Hawkings is a real physicist of some merit isn’t very relevant.

What a load of garbage. Talk about stereotyping. All right wingers insist it, do they? Liberals are such hypocrites. Oh, did I stereotype? If the shoe fits, I guess…..

I was disappointed when I read this: it’s just an unintelligent article that tries to paint all right wingers with the same paintbrush, claiming that they’re all as stupid as some certain buffoons. With that said, this is the same site that purports itself as liberal yet is pretty much loving Obama. it just goes to show that morons aren’t exclusive to the right, and that I shouldn’t be too surprised that it makes liberals like me look bad when we have to associate ourselves with you in some form or another.

tl;dr This is almost as painful to read as a Rush Limbaugh rant

“The notion that people would choose to join a group that is reviled and bullied by those who dominate religious culture is laughable. ” – I remember the jocks being the bullies in my high school, not the Christians.
