RagnarokAngel posted:To be fair fear of modern medicine is not a purely Christian thing and most anti-Vaxers or Homeopathic types are agnostics or adherents to some new age wackery. It all stems from a fear of lack of control. The idea that when and where disease strikes is something that is caused by a ton of different factors, many of which are beyond our control, and that this requires relying on science that is intuitively hard to understand makes people feel powerless. Rather than acknowledge this reality,a ll sorts of groups come up with reasons for why this isn't really the case, and watching the PH balance of all your foods (watch out for those alkaline lemons!) is really how you can ensure being 100% healthy and happy. Same thing with trusting in good. That way, anybody who isn't sick (who are as important in explaining the delusion as the actual sufferer) still feel like they can point to an easy causal chain, ie "god's plan", which they always assume will not include them getting sick.

quote:Prominent Liberal Blog, “Barack Obama And Michelle Obama Are All of Our Parents Now." [1] Awesome, my dad's the president now.  However, the citation is teapartycrusaders.com, not the prominent liberal blog mentioned. teapartycrusaders.com does not link to the prominent liberal blog either. I have no idea where this came from. quote:5 Ways America Is Creating a Generation of Wimps.[3] Said every old person ever. quote:If more Americans were Christians like Kevin Durant, this problem would be solved.

Kids today are such wimps! When I was a kid, my dad would come home from a 12 hour shift in the mine, get stinking drunk and beat my mother and I until we were bloody. That's what America is all about, the ability to abuse those weaker than you!

ToxicSlurpee posted:The same people also argue that psychology and psychiatric treatment (all of them) are terrible, evil things. Faith in Jesus is all you need to think right and people with mental illness choose to have them/are faking it/are choosing to not get better by not willing it away. They believe that psychology should be banned immediately and all information on psychological study systematically destroyed. Jesus and priests will fix your mental issues and if you disagree with that you are an agent of Satan. In America, when you are diagnosed with mental illness you will spend the rest of your life defending your continued existence to people whom assume that you are faking it by default. Not only is your illness the result of your own poor choices, but remaining mentally ill and unemployed is an easy-street lifestyle choice that you are making, not something over which you have little control.

These people see horrible abuse inflicted on three children and think "This'll work great on by wiki about how much I hate gay people!". Do you think they do this with every new story they see? Like when a man shoots his wife do they wonder if he was a red letter Christian or a Unitarian?

I'm upset! I went to Conservapedia to find articles linking piano playing to blindness, since both Ray Charles and and Stevie Wonder are blind pianists who are known for being blind and playing the piano. And there are others too, including famed country musician Ronnie Mislap. Come on. I thought Conservapedia was the only place that understood causality. I guess I'm going to have to write an article stating that there is a link between playing the piano and blindness.

A Lunatic is a commonly used term for a person who is mentally ill, dangerous, foolish, unpredictable; a condition once called lunacy. Conservatives eschew political correctness and prefer to describe those who fit this definition in as unambiguous manner as possible (Adolf Hitler! Karl Marx! Sigmund Freux! Michel Foucault! The Wachowskis! William Ayers! Planned Parenthood!)

Speaking of lunacy:quote:Flight 370 ditched in the Indian Ocean. That's the official word. But does that make sense, as either accident or piracy? Oh god, I'm going to read this article. Pray for me. quote:North West and North of Maldives, a Google Earth search will show, there are hundreds of small islands some with long straight roads and others with old runways which could have been prepared for this plane. A little further North West will bring you to many islands in the Gulf of Aden. From any of these islands it’s not too far to Jerusalem. Right. See, if the plane landed, it's close to Jerusalem! Of course, how do you explain that nobody picked up a phone and said "Hey, my flight disappeared, I just want you to know I'm okay?" quote:Well, one might suggest terrorism’s main goal is to terrorize. Terrorizing the victims is not the goal. After all if one were not alive, one would tend to no longer fear dying. No, the object is to disrupt, intimidate and frighten the living. Also known as terrorizing people? quote:Is it possible that the governments of the world know this plane is under a tarp and not under 5,000 feet of salt water? Is it possible they are making this ridiculous announcement in an effort to throw off the terrorists and hope they believe the search for the plane is over? We can only pray that that is what’s going on. What the gently caress? Words don't even describe how retarded this it.
