God vs. Darwin

Post by RayThom »

It amazes me that so many easily led cult followers eat this shit up like it's gospel.

If there's a Hell these tele-evangelists will be the unrepentant sinners stoking up the flames in the boiler room.

Assholes, all.

Hallelujah!

If the alternative is to let something that you can see, like Trump or this evangelical fruitcake, control your life, I'll stick with the invisible dude who manifests Himself in the sunrise every morning.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Ah, memes possibly created by racists - always good to pass those along
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Calling out religious suckers who believe that blessed oils or holy water and 'miracle' prayer cloths will prevent/cure disease or bring financial abundance and the charlatans who promote them is not racist.  Can anyone help it if so many of them do possess an overabundance of melanin?

I agree - which is why I did not say any such thing. What I question is the motivation of whoever created the meme and specifically decided to pick a black child and a "blackish" tone of voice

I despair of the awful distortion wrought by wolves masquerading as sheep:
https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/ ... /24305820/
Peggy Popham gets her flu shot every year, despite her daughter Laura’s opposition to vaccines.

“I’m 70 and I’ve gotten sick before,” said Popham. “I don’t have a great immune system.”

Popham, who spoke to Yahoo News by phone while quarantining at home in Asheville, N.C., acknowledges that the same factors put her at risk for the coronavirus. “Of course,” she said, she’s worried about contracting COVID-19. But she’s more worried about a possible vaccine for it. “Absolutely not,” she said. “I would not take the vaccine.”

That’s a view shared by nearly one in five Americans, according to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov poll, which found that an additional 26 percent weren’t sure if they’d take it. Some of them no doubt have been influenced by the anti-vaccine disinformation that has been spreading for more than a decade on social media — although that has been directed primarily at routine childhood immunizations and their hypothesized link to autism. Popham’s reasons aren’t medical: They are religious and political.

Popham believes that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert on the administration’s coronavirus task force, is part of the “deep state” along with Bill Gates, another prominent villain of coronavirus conspiracy theorists. She believes their interest in developing a coronavirus vaccine is “driven by money” as well as “a socialist agenda” designed to “get control of us.” Based on research she’s done online, Popham thinks it’s likely that the vaccine will include some sort of human tracking device.

“It will keep track of us,” she said. “Kind of like in the end days, as the Bible says, you’ll be numbered.”

They won't need to 'implant' some sort of microchip like you do to your pet dog, or slip something into you via a vaccine — and whoever came up with that concept must have been stoned so high that they should have gotten frequent flier miles.  Most people already have a human tracking device, one they've willing gotten for themselves. They are constantly providing more and more information about themselves, their locations, their travels, and their interactions, and they even pay for the privilege of doing it.

It's called a smartphone.

Yes, and all of the conspiracy theorists use their cell phones to spread the chip vaccination theory.

Covid has 5 letters, 19 adds up to 10, making a sum of 15; we will require a single dose, plus a booster 3 months later--making the sum 15 = 3 = 18. Divide 18 by the 3 months and you get the 6--add two more sixes, one for a test before the vaccine to see if you have covid and a second for the antibody titer test later (why 6? Because that is the number of the vaccine and it helps bookkeeping) hence 666. And we will not be permitted to go out or trade without that mark (albeit internally)--looks like John of Padmos was right. The end is nigh!

That was stupefying. I would never have gotten the right answer.

I'm glad you did the math.

Exactly!

These people are such morons. :roll:


Millions of people are willingly and regularly providing images of their children for mining by pedophiles on the internet, but worry that the government wants to track them for some nefarious purpose.

I agree they won't HAVE to implant a chip, but they will anyway. Some of us turn our cell phones off from time to time, and that cannot be tolerated.

If getting the chip implanted will make it easier to find my keys, I'm all for it.

I guess "God helps those who help themselves" isn't a lesson the idiot parents are choosing to instill in their children:

I wonder why Mom's got her glasses on. Why isn't God taking care of her eyesight? Enquiring minds want to know.
