Don't Do The Evolution, or ELSE

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - A public school teacher preached his Christian beliefs despite complaints by other teachers and administrators and used a device to burn the image of a cross on students' arms, according to a report by independent investigators.
Mount Vernon Middle School teacher John Freshwater also taught creationism in his science class and was insubordinate in failing to remove a Bible and other religious materials from his classroom, the report said.
see, my Step-Mom is batshit crazy. She does not believe in evolution. Thats fine, I mean, okay.
But then she tells me of the international conspiracy that the middle east is waging against the United States. How Middle Easterners and Indians have taken over the pharmaceutical, banking and oil industry.
they could poison our medicines, wipe out our bank accounts and blow up every gas station from here to California with no effort at all.
She then took me to her Church which was basically a Christian rock show.
Yeah, that type of person is married to my Dad, I don't know why.

I mean, my mom doesn't believe in evolution. Which is why she has a sociology degree. And why she can't find a job where she wants for any decent amount of money.

Yeah, its not the Christian thing its the, and I quote, "[people from the Middle east] are animals." direct quote.
she also doesn't like Indians, Really Hindus? HINDUS? The pacifist vegetarians? REALLY?
I like how they list his boo boos. Point number one, this crazy goof taught Christianity. Point number two, oh and he also seared crosses onto children's arms.
Guys, I don't know for sure that he actually burned a cross on kids arms for the sake of it being a cross.
Somewhere in an article, it talked about it being an X and being part of some science experiment. The kids might have offered to use their arms, for all we know.
But yeah, there is good reason to think he's just plain bonkers, tool. Just sayin, is all.
Man, fine, don't believe in evolution. Whatever, I don't care and it really doesn't affect me too much.
Right up until you're in a position of power and proselytizing your bullshit. Which doesn't even begin to get into the all kinds of fucked up that is burning a cross into a kid's arm.
Unless vampires are a huge problem.

Don't you kind of have to believe in evolution to be a sociologist?
I'd argue that teaching make believe in a science class is more damaging than burning people, but teaching make believe and burning people often go hand in hand anyway.
NOR on

yeah
like, I grew up with a mother who brought me along to this methodist church, where they'd have open-door community kitchen no-questions-asked free meals every day of the last week of every month, a community garden where anyone could raise and harvest food, and clothing drives and all kinds of shit. The fuckin' piano player, this old-ass hippie dude named Jerry, twice a year he'd load up a van with food, blankets, clothing and medicine, drive down in this big caravan to florida and sneak the shit over to cuba to help out the impoverished. THey preached to be kind and help out the less fortunate, and to teach a man to fish rather than to feed his lanky ass all the time.
And on the flip-side, right down the street from our house was a baptist church, and they taught straight up intollerance and hate. Said that non-believers were going straight to hell for eternity to burn, that the fuckin smurfs were satanic, that listening to rock and roll could possess you and that D&D was an invitation to the devil to take over your soul. Shit like how mexican illegals were plotting to take away our christian fellowship and how they wanted to overthrow our precious government. How evolution was a lie that made you believe in the devil. Bullshit like that.
So I've seen both sides of the coin, and I ain't one to hate on christians just for faith. It ain't faith that's the problem, it's the ignorance and actions that come about because of that faith.
And shit like this here just gets my short hairs all hella riled.

That's like that teacher given kids better grades because they held onto a power generator (I forget the exact device). Voluntary shouldn't matter, kids are going to do all sorts of stupid shit. You're not supposed to give them the means.
I've made an effort to stop giving a shit about lunatics. There's just too much bad news coming from round the globe that I can't even get myself worked up over this shit nowadays.

BTW - my stepmom is a Christian "Life Coach"
Swear to God, I can't make this shit up.
Nah, she didn't like her anthropology class because of the evolution stuff, I guess. Really, sociology is just relationships, there doesn't need to be evolution there.

I honestly don't get how people can be so adamant against the idea of evolution.
Basic premise: shit changes over time.
How hard a concept is that?

Because a large percentage of religious people are stupid as fuck and would rather ignore the evidence in favour of believing some book from two thousand years ago.
i have recently discovered that somewhere along the way
my brother managed to argue with my mom enough that she admitted that believing in the story of genesis literally is fucking stupid.
she still frowns at evolution but that's because she believes that human beings are superior to all other animals by the will of god and evolution belittles that
so now she believes that while humans did evolve, they were guided in how they did so by the hand of god to make them the superior being on earth
hm
i guess that's better than thinking we came from dirt and ribs and incest

I believe it's more against the idea that evolution is the origin of man
my brother managed to argue with my mom enough that she admitted that believing in the story of genesis literally is fucking stupid.
