Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck is an idiot, first class. Watch these short video clips and then read on.

Not too truthful about the facts you offer or how you interpret them, are you Mr. Beck? BTW...yes, freedom is a fundamental principle. Life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness are fundamental. No one is taking or has taken these rights from you, Mr. Beck, or from anyone who believes in or holds the same faith that you do for that matter. Yes, the First Amendment does say that congress shall pass no law in respect to a religious establishment and shall not infringe upon the free exercise thereof. Unfortunately, for whatever reason you are confusing this amendment with the spiritually elitist idea that just because people believe in God and follow the Bible that they should be the ones to formulate all the rules, rules that not only infringe upon the rights of your fellow Americans, but rules that are heavily exclusionary towards those who do not believe the same as you do and who do not live as you do. The changing laws of this country are not against you or your faith. What the laws are reinforcing is the notion that we are all equal with one another...it doesn't matter if you are an Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Fundamentalist, Episcopalian, Satanist, Pagan, Catholic...the list goes on forever, right? No one is taking your faith, Mr. Beck. No one is taking your Bible. No one is taking your church or your freedom/right to worship the deity of your choice. No one is asking you to marry two men, two women, or even suggesting that you should approve of such lifestyles, and in regards to this particular statement your faith does not entitle you to treat those whom you do not like or approve of in any manner you wish. Am I getting through here? Not likely. I suppose I should dumb it down a little for you. Your faith (religiously/spiritually speaking), your God, your Savior, or your holy book cannot and should not be used as a shield while you denigrate individuals or groups that believe or live differently than you do. THAT is why the laws are being changed. Are you familiar with the line from the Declaration of Independence that says that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed? This is something that is always used in efforts to derail gay rights, because you get people crawling out of the woodwork proclaiming that these laws were passed in total disregard of the lack of consent within the gay rights issue. Many people didn't vote FOR it but AGAINST it, right? Sooo...if people didn't allow for a gay rights bill to pass how the hell did the government make it happen anyway? Isn't that against the basic principles of this country? Is the government blatantly trampling the rights of the straights and religious in this country? No. Don't you know, Mr. Beck, that if the application of a law is exclusionary towards the rights of groups/individuals that the government, going through the proper channels of course, may reassess the situation and the law involved and may choose to strike it down on the grounds that FUNDAMENTAL rights are being denied. Don't forget the phrase "pursuit of happiness." This is where many, not all believers mistakenly think/believe that their own pursuit of happiness is of more value than the rights and pursuits of happiness of other individuals or groups who do not believe and practice in the same manner. For many believers included in their packaged deal to devote themselves to God or Jesus or whatever, included is the right to subjugate others. That is why laws were changed. It had dick to do with your religion and everything to do with following the true spirit and expression and intent and interpretation of our founding documents as they were meant to be. The government saw that there was a problem, a biggie, so to speak. Citizens of this country were being denied rights. When these same individuals tried fighting for their rights there were many people spouting out that God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman, that homosexuality was an abomination because God said so, and yada-yada, plucka-plucka. Remember, Mr. Beck, the government may not pass legislation in regard to any religion. There can be no favoritism of ANY kind. It doesn't matter what you think your God or any god for that matter is telling you. So, trying to defend the notion that gays and lesbians somehow may be justifiably denied rights based on your tenement faith and based on the even more deplorable interpretation of your Bible and what you think God wants, is moot. In addition, just because you think this country was founded on the Bible (one of the WORST lies ever in United States history), and just because your chosen deity supposedly refutes and condemns homosexuality, all of that is most certainly NOT your free ticket to treat people in any manner that you wish. Neither does it give you or anyone for that matter the allowance and right to treat the rights of those individuals you do not agree with and who live differently than you as somehow less valuable than yours. You have your head so far up your ass, Mr. Beck, you need a timeout. Go stand in the corner.

Ken Ham

Man Whose Mental Chain is Missing Links

Ken Ham is a man with no shame, a man who will lie about proven facts and who HAS lied about such, a man who regularly makes bombastic religious claims, and a man who, despite his irritating stupidity, captures the attention of those who simply must watch this man stumble through existence out of sheer morbid curiosity.

***

What do we have here but Mr. Ham providing children with one of the more stupid arguments presented by creationists: Would you believe that this building just happened, or that someone designed it? Someone DID design this building and we know for a fact that it did not materialize out of an explosion. Therefore, man and the universe did not emerge from an explosion, but had an intelligent Creator.

This is nowhere near a valid argument especially when you consider that God 'poofing' everything into existence in six days (remember, the Divine Contractor made everything in 6 days, not 7; He rested on the 7th day) provides absolutely ZERO competition for the theories that this universe and everything in it developed over billions and billions and billions and b-zillions of years. And don't forget to see that Ham is using the existence of an inanimate object to try to rationalize how animate objects (people, animals, plants) came to be. Stupid.

But hey, this is great, right? I mean, here we have a man teaching children to ignore instruction and common sense, rational thinking. Don't listen to what science has to say, listen to what God has to say. Of course, God isn't saying a goddamn thing since He does not exist. Some guy who fervently claims God exists says to believe in God rather than what science has to say. And people wonder why we have some of the social issues that we have.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKBCIWh6XA

Okay, here in this video Mr. Ham would like for you to believe that a spiritual dead-ness is spreading all over the planet, and in areas like England this so-called dead-ness has already taken great hold of society. Then he uses the story line found in a newspaper where some jihadist freak wants to see the flag of Allah flying in Great Britain to try to back up this impending religious doom he is trying very hard to build up in the viewer's mind.

The purposeful misuse of the article as some kind of proof as to the mental state of societies and cultures around the world is flippant and worthy of nothing more than contempt. Also, Mr. Ham can vilify other faiths all he wants but that will never take away from the disgusting traits held within Christianity. EVERY religion has its problem, sometimes HUGE problems and Christianity is most certainly not immune from critical analysis. Trying to make rival religions appear horrible in an effort to make Christianity look better or more appealing should be the first clue to the searching soul to continue their search lest they become mired in the stupidity and wickedness of many religions...including Christianity.

Mr. Ham goes on to comment about the practices of Islam that he tries very hard to make sound intolerable and cruel and mean. Maybe someone should remind him of some of the instructions given by His God in the Bible that he holds as truth. The Bible instructs the stoning of children who disobey their parents, states that if a man rapes a woman he may marry her (she has ZERO choice in the matter), instructs God's people to put to death anyone working on the Sabbath...and on and on and on stupid and senseless instructions fill the text of the Bible.

Oh, but maybe Mr. Ham would say that is all OLD Testament and not NEW Testament which is God's NEW covenant with man. Really? So...I guess the words of God DO fade just like the flowers and the grass, because if God felt the need for a new covenant doesn't that by nature negate the old covenant? Why is there a new covenant if the words of God stand forever and never fade? How is your faith any more valid than another?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0NZ2eI_Nb4

I love this clip. Totally hilarious! Ham keeps asking questions that leave lots of room for pointing out the fallacies in his thinking and religious claims, or he makes claims that are flatly contrary to what modern science can prove...and in some case is contrary to what his own Bible says. Huh. Forget what happened to the dinosaurs, what happened to Ken Ham's brain?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QqrvxHJEHs

This video is excellent and does a good job in going point by point in dissecting the claims of Ken Ham in relation to Bill Nye and statements made by Bill Nye, the manner in which Ham deliberately distorts remarks by Bill Nye, and the absurd 'scientific' connections that Ham tries to make but fails miserably in doing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCt3xi9hzIc

Sooooo...there are actually several things going on in this video. Here, Mr. Ham tries to prove that the Christian faith/Bible are not racist by using Rahab as an example. He asserts that Rahab was not killed because she believed in the one true God. Ken Ham and every other Christian throughout the history of Christianity can try all they want to make this claim, but there is ample proof that this entire story is bullshit, so much so that more than just a few scholars agree that this is the case.

But never mind the assertion that this story may be allegorical, right? Let's look at WHY Rahab was spared. Did she do it because she loved the Hebrew God? Nope. Joshua 6:25 says, "But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho-and she lives among the Israelites to this day."

Seems to me that the verse clearly indicates WHY Rahab and her family were spared and it has jack shit to do with believing in or loving the Hebrew God. Perhaps you will point out Rahab's own statements in Joshua chapter two. The only things Rahab makes clear in chapter two is that she is frightened, in fact the entire city is frightened about the Israelites coming to destroy them. Rahab makes the comment that God is in the heavens above and the earth below, but that is not an admission of belief in God, and neither is it a statement of love for God. 

Hebrews 11:31 says, "By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient." This is not an affirmation of Rahab's faith in God, but rather is indicative of Rahab's belief, her faith that if she helped the spies they would stay true to their word/promise to her and not harm her or her family.

Ham goes on to say that Rahab is a descendant of Ham (one of Noah's sons) and married an Israelite and because of that she is in the line of Christ. Okay. Rahab may have married an Israelite but that does not automatically change her genealogy to be in the line of Christ. Again, she is NOT automatically or by default in the line of Christ by marrying an Israelite. She must be from the proper lineage.

So sorry to pop your bubble Mr. Ham, but Rahab was NOT from the line of Ham. She was from the line of Shem. Where do you get your information that Rahab is a descendant of Ham? The Bible clearly states she is a descendant of Shem and not Ham. If Rahab descends from Ham she is NOT in the lineage of Christ. Period. End of story.

Also, in this video Ken Ham tries to use the story of Rahab to assert that the intended message of the story is that before people get married they best be sure to verify that they both believe in the same God. Oh, and that God must be the Hebrew God. Seriously?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA3pH0UghsM

Well, what have we here but a shameless threat intended to strike fear in the hearts of parents who wish to prevent their children from going to hell. Be afraid, be VERY afraid for more and more children in Christian families are going to college in the course of their educational pursuits only to have that education damage their faith or revoke their belief in God in its entirety.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEEqQkNLVZA

This video is deliciously funny. Answers with Ken Ham? Forget that. It should be called Bullshit with Ken Ham. Mr. Ham also makes the comment that the message of salvation in the Bible is the "Good News." This is preposterous. A message that boils down to Believe-This-Way-Or-Die is nowhere close to being considered in the running for what constitutes good news.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uW0XD0PrBI

Haahaa!! This is just too good to leave out of this post.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sALSFuquyAU

Ken Ham is asking for people to pray for America. That's nice. Really. While I take no joy in being a stick-in-the-mud here (who am I kidding? I love it) I must point out that prayer will do dick for America. Know why? There is no action in prayer. God will not make the United States better as part of some heavenly program where the harder people pray the more likely there will be divine intervention. Nope. If Americans want to make America better they will find ways to do so and actually do those things. Helping the homeless and abused, treating people with respect instead of contempt, practicing tolerance for those who think and believe different faiths or no faith at all, being kind and compassionate, expressing appreciation for life and love and humanity...I could go all day with this, right?

Michele Bachmann

The Religious Right Gets Crazier and Crazier

Yikes. We seek God? We seek the ways of God? Is this woman aware of God's behavior in the Old Testament? The New Testament?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d42RgyhZpE

This woman is crazy. The US is the Saudi Arabia of oil and natural gas? Cultures are great but not all cultures are created equal? We have a gangster government? The Swine Flu is suspiciously occurring when democrats are in the White House? What?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N39mUCXQ0RU

Okay...this clip is crazy. My favorite part is about 1:15 into the clip where this crazy woman Bachmann says that carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful but there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas. Hah!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox-6wvR0sGU

Michele Bachmann desperately needs to take a United States History lesson before she goes and says anything else about how she thinks this nation was founded and how it grew.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRSx0hKWppM

You say your God stands for life. Really? Read the Old Testament and you will come to a different conclusion. Oh wait...God will allow killing if people piss Him off or are fighting for the wrong side (which would be any side that God is not on). What about His own people, hum? WWII ring a bell? Aren't the Jews supposed to be God's people? Why didn't He protect them? He is God, right? Has ALL the power in the universe at His disposal, correct? NOTHING goes without His express approval, right? Seems to me like He sure as shit didn't pick life then, and actually has a horrible track record of consistently picking death on mass levels.

This is creepy and eff'd up. Do you really want someone like this in the White House?

Oh my dear LORD, but isn't this freaking funny?!

Christine O'Donnell

People Like This Woman are Precisely Why Religion Must Stay Far Away From Politics

This is interesting. O'Donnell does not seem to understand black and white views of morality are not in any way, shape, or form practical or the same in every situation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph7jb4humhE

Oh my dear JESUS! This is someone who people want in a position of government?! Who cares whether or not people masturbate? Big goddamn deal!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=5nUHl-fdujM&NR=1

Too many people blindly accept evolution as fact...according to O'Donnell. Did I also mention that she also thinks there is just as much evidence that supports the idea of Creation?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDVuv3tHe_c

So...would O'Donnell rather that the young people who have sex NOT be instructed on safe sex? Seriously? Does she really think everyone is 'chaste' as she is? Maybe it isn't so much that she is chaste as it is she just may have a very low sex drive?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEpuXnO21ik

You would think that someone who professes to follow the instruction of God would know God would not be so hot on the idea of lying about where you were educated. I saw this clip and immediately thought to a previous clip where this crazy bee-otch goes on about how she has NEVER lied and is more honest than Abe Lincoln. Hah!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYga2pKx_WQ

Oh dear me and goodness gracious. She really needs to get her facts correct if she is going to lie about being a witch or 'dabbling' in being a witch because witchcraft is NOT the same as Satanism which she references when she mentions being around a Satanic altar. She is mixing two different things, but I am sure that since her God and Bible tell her (or she thinks they tell her) that things such as witches and Satanism are bad that it wouldn't hurt to mix the two together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU0L9JZKNhs

HHAahAAHhA!!! HHaaa!! Oh mercy! How the HELL do people like this woman continue to make it as far into politics as they do? CHRIST!! Learn the goddamn founding documents, you crazy turd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68FZaIZ5hoE

A nice little sandwich of Christine O'Donnell comments. Enjoy.

AAhhhhaahaa!!! This woman needs help and LOTS of it.
