1. Common New Atheist Fallacies

Looks like someone went kookoo for 'Koukl Puffs'...

2. Sarcasm Seen as Evolutionary Survival Skill

Comment #198105 by Pattern Seeker on June 23, 2008 at 8:08 am

I don't know if it's a "evolutionary survival skill," but I know myself and others on this site love using it. Long live sarcasm, mockery and derision.

3. Award-winning comedian George Carlin dies

Comment #198099 by Pattern Seeker on June 23, 2008 at 7:53 am

Let's all try to remember that our lives were better with George in it and celebrate his life. He was truly a man who loved to challenge the status quo. May Joe Pesci watch over him.

4. Bright Chunks At Phoenix Lander's Mars Site Must Have Been Ice

Comment #196914 by Pattern Seeker on June 20, 2008 at 3:24 pm

If there had been "dark chunks" at the lander site would that have been 'Space Vomit?'

5. Science teacher dissed evolution

Comment #196910 by Pattern Seeker on June 20, 2008 at 3:21 pm

Sure, diss evolution all you want...but the minute you diss me by burning a cross into my arm with an electrostatic device...

WHAM! Your face-My fist. End of story.

annabanana-

So have you ordered your "I Believe" plates yet?

I'd order one if I could put Bunny H. Christ on it. I'm sure most x-tians wouldn't know what to think.

7. The Mother, The Child, The School Board And The Psychic

Comment #196042 by Pattern Seeker on June 19, 2008 at 8:40 am

Yet one more reason why my 3 year old son will be homeschooled until he goes off to college or whatever. I won't let some sick fuck even have the opportunity to indoctrinate or manipulate my child over some religious or superstitious bullshit.

8. As the world becomes smaller, the need to understand each other's faith grows

Comment #192898 by Pattern Seeker on June 14, 2008 at 6:53 am

"As the world becomes smaller..."

I assume as a shitferbrains "Faithhead" he means this quite literally...

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Comment #186492 by Pattern Seeker on May 30, 2008 at 11:05 am

Anna-

Living in the 'North' half of Cackalacky, I often wonder about the people of 'South.' The few times I have gone there (Greenville, Spartanburg) I have had bad experiences. (Won't get into that.) Nowadays, the only time I go through GSP is to get to Atlanta.

sent2null-

You can keep the pipe, I have plenty already. Though I will say I would gladly buy any of my freethinking mates a beer even though I don't drink anymore. I still feel if used judiciously it can make a fine social lubricant. I just prefer mine in a more smokable form. Different means. Same results.

14. Storm erupts over 'virginity' divorce

Comment #186392 by Pattern Seeker on May 30, 2008 at 8:40 am

Comment #9 sent2null-

I can see where you are coming from, but it looks like a case of "he said/she said" which means basically whose word do we trust? In cases like these, we all know that the man's word carries more weight than a woman's. The question is why do we believe him over her? Looking back at the story, it doesn't even look like her or her lawyers had anything to say or else they didn't print it.

BTW- What's in your peace pipe?

15. Senate bill allows display of Lord's Prayer, 10 Commandments

Comment #186386 by Pattern Seeker on May 30, 2008 at 8:30 am

The bill would allow public bodies, including schools, to display a set of 11 documents lawmakers say help make up the nation's foundation of law and government. Included are the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Emancipation Proclamation and Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech, as well as the national motto, "In God We Trust."

Alright. Somebody please explain to me how MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech helps to make up this nation's foundation of law and government? WTF? Are we sure this isn't from the Onion?

I'm curious to hear what Annabanana has to say. She actually lives in South Cackalacky. Anna?

16. 1968 Supreme Court case of Epperson v. Arkansas

Comment #185760 by Pattern Seeker on May 28, 2008 at 12:54 pm

Amazing. Just watched the vid and Barry Lynn destroyed that pseudolawyer Sissy. I can't believe a "reverend" defends our cause here in America so eloquently. Though he may be religious, this man is definitely on our side. Once again, I think this speaks to us non-believers as to how do we find common ground with people like Rev. Lynn to defeat the delusional IDiots.

Tammy Wood, a science teacher from the Zachary, Louisiana school district, told the committee: "There is absolutely no need for this bill," and added "I am begging you here today to kill this bill."

Kill Bill.

20. Religion is a product of evolution, software suggests

They must be talking about 'Windows' software. Maybe something like-

21. Top 6 Incestuous Relationships In The Bible

Comment #185214 by Pattern Seeker on May 27, 2008 at 8:02 am

And let's not forget the gay 'menage a trois' between God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost(whooooooo) known as the Trinity.

I'm sure there is some sick fuck somewhere who uses shit like this to justify the abuse (rape, incest) of their own children. Oh yeah! Can you say FLDS anyone?

I think I'll stick to smoking pot.

23. Mayor challenges pope during Genoa visit

Comment #182092 by Pattern Seeker on May 19, 2008 at 8:07 am

When I read the title of the article I thought the "challenge" was going to be a boxing match or a drinking game or something.

Dang it.

Nonetheless, it's nice to see the good people of Italy stand up to this overblown transvestite.

It must be a sign from DOG when the church begins to cannibalize its own parishioners.

Why not post an article titled-

'IDiots Know Less Than You--Even When They're Right'

yeah....that about sums it up.

26. Evolution's Critics Shift Tactics With Schools

Comment #174811 by Pattern Seeker on May 3, 2008 at 3:20 pm

It is exactly because of IDiots like Doug Cowan that my child will not, I repeat, not be educated in the American public school system. As a forty-year old, I saw standards crumbling back when I attended high school in the early 80's. I have watched those standards slowly, but surely, fall to new lows. I won't let my child be taught by a moron. In fact, he probably won't encounter a formal education until, or even if, he attends college. I want my kid to 'think critically,' and not to 'think biblically.'

Comment #174802 by Pattern Seeker on May 3, 2008 at 3:03 pm

Ha! That shit is hilarious. I've been reading those Jack Chick comics for years. They never fail to entertain. Personally, I can't wait until they come out with a Jack Chick graphic novel or maybe a live-action movie. Hollywood's a-callin'.

13. Comment 172736 by PJG-

You'll be happy to know that I'm the father of a 3-year old boy who is not indoctrinated in any way. In fact, he may be too independent.
Be glad to know that there are others like us who will continue to educate their child to counter the 'flood' of ignorance that pours from these sad, sad sheeple.

As a resident of North Carolina I've been tempted to go to the Creation museum in 'Tucky and 'point and laugh' my way through the entire proceedings, but have yet to convince the wife.

Too bad the fire-breathing 'Dawkins' didn't open-pit barbeque roast the good Sir 'McKnight' in less-than-shining armor.

31. Resentment Over Darwin Evolves Into a Documentary

Comment #165358 by Pattern Seeker on April 21, 2008 at 11:45 am

One thing is for sure...this film did not evolve.

Blank film stock did not 'naturally select' an image. It was created by a designer. The designer was a retard. The result is a mess. A monster was created. That monster makes Frankenstein look like Angelina Jolie. Time to gather the pitchforks and torches.

Good space morning everyone, this is your captain, Rael, speaking and welcome aboard the Starship Jefferson. We'll be flying through the Hawking Wormhole at approximately the speed of light and will arrive in about...now! All passengers participating in the 'seeding' should move to the rear of the spacecraft and prepare to eject said 'SpaceSperm' TM. And thank you for flying Betelgeuse Spacelines.

33. Science Debate 2008

Comment #160786 by Pattern Seeker on April 14, 2008 at 11:45 am

I'm afraid if we had a real science debate the candidates would show their real ignorance on the issues. Remember, faith you can fake and bullshit your way through, science requires you to actually know something. The candidates, for the most part, have shown they know nothing.

See The Compassion Forum from last night:

Maybe 'FAUX NEWS' was just giving it a 'Faux Review?'

42. Commentary: Democrats finally getting religion on religion

Comment #157871 by Pattern Seeker on April 9, 2008 at 4:35 pm

I'm sorry to hear that this will be the second time the candidates discuss faith, but have yet to have one on science. Just goes to show how far the MSM has gone with their stupid forums. I know both Dems have said stupid things regarding faith, but for the most part it seems like a lot of lip service.

I think part of what is happening on the Dems side is just a way of taking the steam out of the McCain's "Jesus Express." Sorry as it is to say, but the Dems should just about say anything to get elected. This nation can't handle another 4 Republican years of rule. So if that means talkin' smack and bullshittin' the local yokels, well then, I'm all for it! Buck Fush and all his crony hacks.

43. Anti-evolution bill clears another hurdle

Comment #157493 by Pattern Seeker on April 9, 2008 at 7:18 am

al-rawandi,

Nothing new there. If you google "Anti-evolution bill" you will see a few such cases in America like-

http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/news/2008/LA/260_louisiana39s_antievolution__4_1_2008.asp

or

http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/news/2008/MO/970_a_new_antievolution_bill_in_mi_4_4_2008.asp

Seems to me that, if anything, these things only distract people from the real issues at hand.

As the article states above, most of this is a flap about Florida amending their science standards earlier this year. They're still upset they lost.

44. Anti-evolution bill clears another hurdle

Comment #157486 by Pattern Seeker on April 9, 2008 at 6:56 am

This bill isn't going anywhere and most of you know it. The X-tians who are making a stink are just upset at all the press "atheism" is getting these days. The minute this bill reaches 'The Powers That Be,' it will be quickly moved of the table. I don't think anyone wants to risk their political career for some hackneyed attempt at introducing "another view" into the science curriculum. Not after the Dover ruling. They love to talk that smack though!

Comment #157137 by Pattern Seeker on April 8, 2008 at 3:18 pm

I don't get the show in America so my only chance to watch these things is when the posted on the RD site.

Personally, the best way they could make this show better would be to just change the title to something more appropriate. Say...

'THE STUPID QUESTIONS'

There. That's better.
