Hey, remember when a small group of Christians thought it would be a great idea to waste thousands of dollars and scare someone to the point of suicide because some old guy told them the rapture was going to happen? ….yeah, that was a bad idea.
Guys, it’s obvious that the parts the Sky Bully needs for the Apocalypse are on back order. You just wait until it’s all back in stock.
I was drinking while reading this. Totally worth having to change my shirt.

Dan Savage points out the hypocrisy of using the Bible to justify anti-homosexual bigotry; Christians are crybabies, take their ball and go home.
(I realize that many people don’t like Dan Savage for a variety of reasons, but this is pretty choice stuff.)
Life begins at conception.

The reason that scientists would declare that life exists on this world if a living cell were found is because it would be a single-celled organism. A complete living creature. It is an independent lifeform, not a— and I mean this in the strictest sense of the word— parasite that cannot survive without its host. A “single living cell” inside a woman is a potential life, not yet a life on its own. Is a seed life?
(I will also point out that miscarried fetuses are not issued social security numbers or death certificates, so, even legally, fetuses are not considered alive.)
(Also also— We are on a planet in a pretty young star system barely ten thousand light years from the edge of the galaxy. It’s almost another thirty thousand to the center of the Milky Way. Read up on the Drake Equation. Statistically, Earth cannot be the only planet with life on it in this galaxy, we just haven’t found it yet. Earth is in the deep south of the Milky Way, it might take a while to discover it. This is ignoring the multitude of other galaxies in our universe.)
A post from The Oatmeal named “Types of Extremists” this is obviously my favorite.
