I can only hope that Oprah and Jenny will make such fools of themselves that there will be a gigantic backlash
Well considering Oprah is really only considered relevant by her viewers you are talking about the undoing of over two decades of loyalty on the part of the country's dumbest broads. Though I suppose if anything could do that it would be children dying from whooping cough.
It makes me very afraid that nobody is going to understand how seriously idiotic these people are until there's some sort of media coverage about a totally preventable illness making children sick and possibly killing them.
There are times I get depressed because immortality is unfeasible owing to the tendency of systems to move towards entropy and the eventual heat death of the universe.
Statistically you'd only live up to 250-300 years anyway before you get offed through a fatal accident.

I don't know, hun. These days we need people to stand up to "big science" and who better to do represent the best interest of Jane Everymom than a fat billionaire with no children of her own along with her former playmate sidekick.

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough.
My favorite thing of all time is when physicists and/or astronomers encounter something completely new and undiscovered.
Not the "oh look, we found this tired old star cluster that is a little brighter than it should be!" or anything equally mundane, but just a complete and total mindfuck discovery where a room full of scientists, who have spent their entire lives studying the very shit they are observing, are just standing there, mouths agape, thinking "WHAT... THE... FUCK..."
Whenever that happens, it makes the little boy in me leap for joy and I start smiling for days. It makes me realize that there is still shit left worth discovering and studying, even if some scientists still tend to think that we've almost got everything figured out.

I think my 6th grade science textbook operated on the belief that there were only like 6 galaxies in the universe. The Hubble is like the greatest thing to ever be.
I had a discussion last night with a close friend about how I am a closeted atheist.
Everyone around me would be pissed if they knew I was an atheist. Some might even stop talking to me, including family members. It would be ugly and painful and not really worth the headaches. So, rather than facing such things, I just pretend to be a Christian when I'm around anyone that falls into this category. I was raised Christian, so I know all the right words and phrases, and even quite a few bible passages if the situation calls for it. Everyone falls for it. It's remarkably easy to pull off, actually. I can see why so many people can make truckloads of money from religious folk.
I feel like a gay guy in a southern Baptist family... I parade the bible around at family functions, even kissing it from time to time so as not to set off any suspicion, but I secretly have science waiting for me in my bed back home...
Any time people ask me about my religious beliefs now I just kinda shrug
does that make me agnostic or
?
Well, except my family; we don't really talk about it at all, though Mom and Dad are certainly Christian; Dad would probably be unhappy if I told him about my rather lax faith

I thought you two got in a fight and stopped talking to each other when you were kids
you really think he's gonna hold a grudge for 2,000 years?
man that was his sister
Despite the fact the bible explicitly states Jesus spent time with brothers and sisters Mary was a virgin her whole life and those were actually just cousins.
And Jesus wasn't mad about Dru doing his cousin it was the fact that Lenny was underage at the time.

That's kind of lame.
see, I just make noncommittal gestures when anyone says I should go to church.
I still need things from my parents, I can't tell them yet!

if, you know, we were really that terrible

I can be a pretty cold bastard when it comes to people suffering because of their own stupidity
but in this case it's children who are getting sick and dying through no fault of their own, but rather their shit-for-brains parents

I want to hug you.
James Randi and a rich but influential person?
Maybe if we got Phil Plait a coconut bra
so..anyone here rich and influential?
I don't think mainstream media is ready for the prettiest princess in the world

Jesus just told me so
a little frankincense, a little myrrh and all is forgiven apparently
used to be you had to make good with wine and feasting, but now it's just spices spices spices

Apatheism?

but damn, dru

That's kind of lame.
Wow, this
I was not aware this was an actual thing
The benefit of being born without original sin is you don't even have to worry about poop.
