“Nice post, Uncle Bob :)”

“Fact: amino acids are found in meteorites that have landed on earth. Amino acids are the building blocks of life. We don't need to continue to believe that a god started life on this earth. We have sufficient evidence that life came from space and started on it's own. Let's put the whole "concept" of god on the shelf besides all the other failed hypothesis.”

“"At the moment, though, I care a bit more about what it says about a society that still gathers in the town square to watch a hanging. Maybe instead of all the finger wagging and 'Shame on him," there needs to be a little "Shame on us.'"

I couldn't agree more. America is indeed the land of hypocrites and people in this country love to judge and throw stones. Yet if we take a microscope to every one's lives, we will find many skeletons and a lot of immoral behavior from the very people who are doing the harshest judging.”

“It's in the bible that you aren't to mix the fabrics of clothes like cotton, wool, etc. I forget where It's mentioned.”

“No, 'fraid not.”

“The only thing you will learn from these "spiritual folks" is how to lose your mind to a false religion.”

“I was going to say something similiar! Come on Rapture!!! Whisk these 50 million lunatics off our planet ASAP!”

“I'm right there with you Don. We do have a fight on our hands. We need to start with every public - state school board. Supporters of creationism need to go. Supporters of evolution need to be elected. We did that here in Ohio on the state level. We need to fight them from dumbing down America further.”

“You are right. The only way to combat religious ignorance is to educate people and to get them to think critically. However, we can't even do that in THIS country because of the Christian Right and their war on science. The Bush Administration cut science nearly out of it's budget and falsified scientific reports on Global Warming. He created the Faith Base Initiatives so millions of tax payers' dollars get funneled to "religious charities"...yeah right! Like that happened! That money when to organizations like The Discovery Institute and Temple Foundation which are behind the push for creationism being taught in public schools. How are we to combat ignorance in the world if we can't even make a dent in the U.S.? Only 40% of people in the U.S. accept Evolution as a fact! We are second to last in a list of 33 countries (with only Turkey below us) that accept Evolution. Our country is filled with idiots who don't want to learn. Religion is the main reason.”

“Totally agree!”

“I concur.”

“And I needed to read THIS first thing this morning! I to am LMAO!! Great response.”

“I'll second that!”

“"I do however understand that I have very little knowledge and understanding of our world/universe..."

Then I suggest you educate yourself. Science has come a long way in explaining our world and our universe.”

“Agreed.!!!”

“Well put.”

“Who is going to force the food-producing companies to take responsibility for their actions? Our government? I think not. Lawyers? Maybe 50 years ago but not today, mainly thanks to caps on tort awards. Thanks to the repugs, you are going to see less and less lawsuits forcing these companies to be safer. So they have no reason to stop using proven cancer/illness causing substances when making/packaging food.”

“Thanks to the lobbyists' dollars that line their pockets.”

“Exactly. Even though we live in an town home complex (we rent), we still managed to have a small garden on our back patio. next, year I'm adding even more produce. Granted, I didn't grow enough to feed us for any length of time; but it was nice to have fresh tomatoes, green beans, peas and squash when we wanted it.”

“Brilliant post!”

“Love this show too. Even my husband likes it (which is saying a lot) :)”

“What exactly are those "firm set of values"?????”

“So true!”

“Really! Glad I got the hell out of there when I did.”

“Oh for god's sake, Adam and Eve was a story and nothing else. It never happened.”
