Well I'll try your approach next time and attack whole groups of people instead. I guess it's more impersonal that way, and succeeds in covering a larger area. Efficient, really. Next time will probably be a while, though, as I'll probably self-impose another break from this cauldron of...

Oh the context didn't make it any better, but shorter clips work best for radical soundbytes. Perhaps you should teach me e-manners, since you never demonize and insult "the libs" on this board.

Quoted for stupidity.

Creationism has no business being espoused in a secular classroom, neither on its own nor alongside evolution. To teach both places the two concepts on equal ground when they are clearly not. The fact that 30% of the country cries out when evolution alone is taught and only 18% cries out when...

Actually, that latter idea is one of the reasons I made this thread. Gallup: Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design Referencing poll questions that ask if one would be upset if either creationism or evolution were taught in schools:

Many people integrate concepts of evolution (and other laws, like gravity, as you mentioned) into Christianity. And that, I feel, is being intellectually honest while still maintaining faith. Others, however, believe the world is about 6,000 years old, which I feel is quite intellectually...

And there we have it. ;) To clarify the straw man, though, your post should be amended to read "creationists who try and block the teaching of science to our youth are dangerous to society," which is a statement I'll stand behind.

Let's clear out the semantics here so we can move on. One simple categorization of "religiously extreme" behavior, as relevant on the societal level, is religiously-motivated behavior that proves detrimental to the society as a whole. In this sense, forcing scientific ignorance on the current...

With the proper changes in hormone levels (either through fetal mutation or uterine environment), either genotype can give an intersex child.

I was bored, and it's surely better than another ACORN thread. :D But I'll be occupied all day tomorrow, so someone will have to sub for me.

The problem with dismissing all our measurements of, say, radioactive decay rates in order to appease the groundless proposition that some god is fooling us with our math is equally obvious. Heck, why learn or use science at all if one believes its most fundamental truths to be nothing but epic...

Your hyperbole detectors must be off. To clarify, I was also not suggesting that the film would be viewed by the Ya̧nomamö people of the Amazon rainforest.

If you'd read the labels on the graph, you'd see I'm not talking about these. Perhaps I should've been clearer. One is evidence-based, and the other is dogma that has no place in a secular classroom. This is basic logic here, so let's try not to equivocate opposites. But since you've invoked...

Religion and science can coexist, a truth I've waxed infinite on here before. However, I've never understood the belief that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. This defies our most basic understanding of the physical laws (let's start with something simple like radioisotope decay), to the...

How low have we fallen? Charles Darwin film 'too controversial for religious America' - Telegraph Shocking. I'd never looked these numbers up before, but I'm speechless.

It's not really meant to be taken too seriously. UD sometimes brings the lolz. Encyclopedia Dramatica is more consistently funny, but they had no relevant entry for this. See above. Yep, we can't get to 'em all. Oh well, his loss.

Aww, you think teabagging is only for gays. How very... vanilla of you.

Like special teams? ;) Did our staff not trust anyone else to run it, or did they simply not wish to show our hand and identify other players we would be direct snapping to in the future? On the other hand, though, games against supposed cupcake teams can be the best practice for getting...
