After a life-time of glorifying "faith" at the expense of evaluation by evidence, it's inevitable.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-34076319203499892482011-04-26T12:53:43.903-04:002011-04-26T12:53:43.903-04:00Cognitive Dissenter -- I must admit, the most ridi...Cognitive Dissenter -- I must admit, the most ridiculous comments are the ones that seem to get the most media attention, unfortunately.<br /><br />Regarding the graphic language warning, well, I thought I'd warn people in advance about Robertson's more vivid comments about the pro-choice demonstrators. I still wonder why he felt the need to add that bit. o_OAhabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-29868399521898424062011-04-26T12:25:34.324-04:002011-04-26T12:25:34.324-04:00The fact that anyone gives Pat Robertson airtime i...The fact that anyone gives Pat Robertson airtime is alarming and discouraging evidence of just how stupid we are as a nation. Oh hey ... maybe the key to getting attention is to say the most stupid, outrageous, and demonstrably false crap I can dream up so that my idiocy is evident to anyone with half a brain, and "the word of God" to anyone not so endowed? Eureka.<br /><br />P.S. This post contains graphic language?

Unfortunately, many fundamentalists can't understand women who seek abortions because they're blinded by stereotypes.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-15078549611482004442011-04-25T23:02:31.510-04:002011-04-25T23:02:31.510-04:00And really, it's all about killing babies, rig...And really, it's all about killing babies, right? When we say we want Planned Parenthood up and running, it's because we want to have abortions. We're all out there getting pregnant on purpose over and over again because women just <i>love</i> getting abortions.<br /><br />Seriously, do they really really think that women like getting abortions? That abortion is ever anything but a last resort? No sir. And Planned Parenthood happens to be one of the few groups of people who are actually doing something useful to <i>prevent</i> abortions by providing health care and information and contraceptives for women in order to <i>prevent unintended pregnancies</i>, which, you know, is the only reason women get abortions. They got pregnant when they didn't want to.Carla Schmidt Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947846629735463824noreply@blogger.com
