Evangelicals in the Twitterverse

I thought you might like a peek into what passes as "doing god's work" on Twitter these days.

I think you might enjoy the interactions, I didn't censor any of the names etc., so if you want to follow any of these folks, including myself, feel free.

@PerpetuallA @Baffled_Atheist no, I said if you "think", and are rational and logical, you would find religion implausible. #atheist

@Khaymansdad @Baffled_Atheist that's basically religious bigotry, thinking that your beliefs are the only correct ones.

@PerpetuallA @Khaymansdad Quality! From someone who describes himself as a parasite in his own profile.   As you can see from this interaction, the Theist @perpetuallA is just baiting and throwing out insults with no facts or logic or even reason. Later he claims he is doing 'gods work' which is laughable. You will see what I mean....   John Denver ‏@PerpetuallA

The "Blind Lizard" argument

I know, it's been a while since I have posted anything. It's been a VERY busy couple months with moving suddenly (the house I was renting had black mold), having hernia surgery for the 3rd time and the holidays. I will say I made it through all of it without thinking I should pray to anyone or anything even once! I would like to take a second though and thank the good doctors and nurses at IMC for their care and professionalism. They were great!

Last Saturday as my son and I were getting ready to go to the archery range and loose some arrows at a few very deserving paper targets, we received a visit from an evangelical whackadoo. I am not sure what faith he was promoting specifically as he didn't identify himself with any organized group. He was an older man and had a young african american boy with him in tow. When I answered the door, he immediately asks me without introducing himself if "I would like to discuss god with him"?

Now, I very rarely turn down a good debate and would normally have invited he and his little buddy in for a spirited debate on religion and the existence of a supreme being. Since I was getting ready to go, (bow in hand) I wasn't really in the mood for a long discussion with him and politely said "No, thanks. I'm not a believer and this would be a waste of your time."

He stood there for less than 2 seconds and started into a tirade regarding creation and evolution. I am not sure why he went there, I didn't mention anything of the sort to him. I politely responded that there isn't a creator and that evolution proves itself, all he would need to do is examine any animal or for that matter human being and he could see evolution in action.

This is when he got weird on me: He looked at me and said "what about blind lizards?" then went on to explain how a blind lizard would die if god didn't give it eyes. I told him that there are plenty of blind animals and other life forms on the planet that do just fine. He insisted that if god didn't give blind animals eyes they would all die. At that point I knew I was dealing with a crackpot and realized that there was going to be no simple end to this conversation so I stood there mute for about three minutes as he rambled on about blind animals and gods link to them. He asked me if  that made me think that there could be a god, I simply said no it makes me think you don't know what you are talking about.

He then says "well we have stuff to do" and turned and walked away.

Has anyone else dealt with this before? I have no idea where he was going with the blind lizard argument. If it was to convice me of a creator it didn't work, it only convinced me that he was an idiot that had no idea what he was talking about.

It's good to be back. I will make sure to post more to keep you all entertained.

PROOF: One more link in the Evolutionary Chain!

This is absolutely AMAZING!

I wonder how Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron fight THIS PROOF!

Oh wait, I can guess...... The devil planted the ENTIRE civilization!

Do you think the Devil did it?

Do you think it's proof of Evolution?

Tell me, I really would love to know what you think.

Freedom of religion is ALSO freedom FROM religion

The Republicans and yes, even some Democrats are supporting the Catholic Bishops in fighting the health care reform that mandates that birth control be covered by health care plans. Their justification for this? You guessed it, the First Amendment!

It's funny isn't it?

They cry Religious freedom then try to shove their beliefs down everyone's throats REGARDLESS of the rest of the populations convictions? So the Catholic Church owns a hospital. Is EVERY employee of that hospital Catholic? I doubt it, since it would be ridiculous to say "If you aren't Catholic, you can't work here." So why should the insurance offered by the hospital to it's employees be exempt from offering birth control coverage? They shouldn't. The only justification for it? Their own arrogance.

These idiots need a dose of humility and logic. They need to understand that the First Amendment not ONLY covers their Freedom to Practice their religion, but it ALSO protects everyone else from being FORCED to practice their religion as well. You see people, the sword cuts both ways.

Politicians and religion are both idiots cut from the same cloth. Rick Santorum is an idiot of the highest caliber. Any one that believes in magical always existing beings that can snap their fingers and make worlds appear and then plant old bones in the ground to "confuse" their believers is an idiot!

Pray to Santa, the Easter Bunny or anyone else. It's all the same...

Let's keep America and the world free from Religious Idoicy.

Keep it logical.
