Did he mean “all humans” or, actually, “all life”?!
Well, if smallpox returns with a vengeance, they will be.
Oh, I know right where she is. She’s just a few miles down the road.
Its prudent to keep tabs on people like this.
Is he the same one who swears apple cider vinegar is the cure for everything?
I woved her in The Pewils of Pauwine!

Yeah, I thought maybe he heard something about Mitochondrial Eve or something and was just off by a couple 100k years. Nope. He meant 4000 years since life began and evolved up to where it is now. I think when he said he was into science what he meant was he’s into watching UFO documentaries on the History Channel and assumes he’s getting science.
Betcha can’t prove him wrong.
And besides, they don’t want you to know.
In my life I have met many people, all of them female, oddly, who refuse to use seatbelts because they want to be able to “jump out of the car when they see an accident coming.” There’s at least 5 solid irrefutable reasons why that is wrong of course, but typically they’ll start to give you that “crazy lady, stop harassing me with your voodoo science” smile and ignore you.
They’re as bad as others I’ve met who claimed they never buckled up, nor put their kids in car seats, because the only people who die in car crashes are people who offend God in some way. Plus, “if Jesus wants me to live, I’ll live. If Jesus wants me to die, I’ll die, and no seatbelt will make any difference.” Which brings to mind an image of Jesus played by Marlon Brando, sitting in a dark study, saying “This woman, Stacey Jones…she has showed disrespect to me.” (Pause while Jesus stares over his glass of campari, swirling it to watch the colours as a beam of light intersects it.) “Uriel? It’s time for her to come to me. Make it fast, painless, and at the Piggly-Wiggly tomorrow afternoon.” (cue dramatic music as Uriel bows and replies “It shall be done, Godly-father!”)
This needs to be made into a movie posthaste
Is that how you make Sham-poo? In any case, real poo should used to clean wigs.

In a vaccination thread on another forum, someone recently posted this crusher: Jesus never got vaccinated.
I asked him if we really want our kids to live as long as they did in Jesus’ time. No answer yet, but I’m sure a brilliant theological riposte is on the way.
Didn’t Jesus die kind of young? But there are other things Jesus never did as well: wear a cross around his neck, play Scrabble, take the exit 17 shortcut when the main highway is backed up, or eat a taco.
Fantasy-prone personality? Steven Novella of the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe (an excellent and entertaining resource for most Dopers - check it out if you haven’t) takes the position that you often find beliefs in things like 9/11 “truth”, Birthers, UFO conspiracists, and other types of conspiracy theory tend to cluster. These are all unrelated phenomenon (or are they? gasp! :eek: ) which would seem to indicate that the fact that they cluster within individuals tells you more about the believers than it does about the phenomena themselves.
Bohl-shit. Why would anyone want to swallow toothpaste, even if it is harmless?
The example that should be in the dictionary definition of it:
The Third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley.
Now, I wonder what is saddest, him or Think Tanks like the Hearthland Institute that still continue to invite him to talk and their members applaud his climate denial change and birther jokes.
My younger child did when she was a toddler. We found out when she began to vomit and my husband noticed that what was coming up smelled like toothpaster. “Have you been eating toothpaste???” Older sister pipes up, “Yeah, she does that all the time.” Our pediatrician said not to worry about it since she was already vomiting, but to keep the stuff on a higher shelf from now on.
At age 33, and his mother outlived him. Is that what these non-vaccinating mothers want- to outlive their kids?
Those last 2 statements make me wonder about the accuracy of the first one.
