SRAW: I'm not voting for Ron Paul because I'm a few thousand miles out of citizenship. Even if I were, I would not vote for him, or any Republican, because of their stupid bronze age beliefs. Yes, he should be commended for his honesty and for voting for what he believes in, but I don't think that since those beliefs include some really dumb shit that's entirely a good thing.

Edit: Also... why is creationism stupid?

Nobody has any proof of ANY theory of how we came into being. Sure, the scientific-based theories definitely sound a lot more believable than most religious-based theories. But in the end, nobody knows, and nobody probably ever will know... so, until someone finds some proof either proving or disproving a theory on our existence, I think they're all equal in how valid they are.

Right, consider this. There are many world religions. Hundreds. Each of them has some kind of creation myth which we know about from the supposed holy texts of that religion. The muslim, christian and judaic religions all claim to be by and large the same, fair enough, but consider that many of the rest are incompatible with each other. They make contrasting claims, but all we have to choose between them is basically personal choice. There is nothing in the world that says one religion is better than the other.

On the other hand, current scientific theories about the evolution of the universe are the result of centuries of observation, theory and measurement. They are entirely derivable from the world around us and require no ancient texts or superstition. Religion is stupid. Think about it! The Bible is largely ~1800-~1900 years old. How, in any way, can you apply this to modern life?! Go back a mere 500 years and you cannot apply their theories to the modern world. This is not a surprise.

To finish this bit, I was raised a christian. I can ask why I was raised a christian, and it wasn't because of divine will, it was because my parents are of that denomination. Were I born elsewhere - say, India - I would likely be hindi, perhaps muslim. What is the difference between these scenarios? Nothing.

To add a final bit to the Ron Paul thing, creationism denies evolution. This is stupid and I should not have to tell you why. The problem is in education, people attempt to push their bullshit into the classroom where it does not belong.

I read quite a lot of athiest shit on the internet, you know, and I guess it's not great to spend so much time circlejerking. But in America things seem to be so much worse... though, when David Cameron starts saying that the decline of christianity in Britain is to blame for the current decline of society, I start getting worried. Perhaps we need some new Crusades?

ANYWAY. I said we shouldn't talk about this and that Aaronjer should post more pictures, but you guys drew me in with your wily natures. Merry fucking Christmas.

Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....
