Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed Review

http://www.tvguide.com/movies/expelled-intelligence-allowed/review/293361 I’m sick and tired of Creationists wailing about “no one listens to us!” when 78.5% of the American population identify themselves as Christian and the number of American Jews is at 6.4 million, or approximately 2.1% of the total population. So you’re telling me that over 80% of Americans believe in Creationism but no one listens to your drivel?Continue readingExpelled: No Intelligence Allowed Review

Fed up with politics, man eats vote

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSL1313250820080414?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews From the page: “NAPLES (Reuters) – Ballot stuffing took on a new meaning in Italy’s parliamentary election on Sunday when a man ate his ballot paper in protest at the country’s politicians.” Right on, mister.

Religion in the United States – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States From the page: “A 2006 CBS News Poll of 899 U.S. adults found that 82% of those surveyed believed in God, while 9% believed in “some other universal spirit or higher power,” 8% believed in neither, and 1% were unsure.” Oh, come on! 82%!? I demand a recount! Surely there must be more than 9% of us who areContinue readingReligion in the United States – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080110/od_afp/britainpoliticsreligionoffbeat From the page: Eyebrows were raised in the House of Commons on Thursday when a motion calling for the Church of England to be disestablished was listed with the number 666, symbol of the AntiChrist. Heh, got a chuckle out of this one. A number is a funny thing to be superstitious about.

“My father was a Freethinker, but died when I was only three years old. Wishing me to be bought up without superstition he appointed two Freethinkers as my guardians.
