What’s the point of being a science denialist if you’re gonna admit you’re wrong? It seems to take away all the fun. ---

Hay! So I herd God makes hurricanes because of atheists and lesbians and gays and uh, witches and stuff. But it’s really weird, because we have had a rather uneventful storm season this year, and there are more avowed atheists and openly gay people than there have ever been before. And every Halloween, I see young women dressed as slutty witches. ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE UNRELATED THINGS :eek: BRAIN HURTS NAO ---

Well, of course he’s going to ignore evidence. If you paid attention to evidence, your mind would be full of kinds of ungodly ideas. Now it’s a study about the gays, but who knows what it’ll be next. Are you going to try to convince us that [Ausralia](http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Creationist_Views_on_Australia) exists? ---

I couldn’t think of a really good stereotypically “gay” drink off the top of my head and saw some orange juice sitting in the corner . . . this is the punishment we receive.

He just won’t quit…Now he is telling the right wingers at NRO that all the polls that suggest people are now favoring gay marriage are skewed by the liberal media…I guess like those polls were skewed against Romney before the election 🙂 [Equality On TrialControversial sociologist claims polls showing majority support for marriage equality are biased - Equality On Trial](http://equalityontrial.com/2013/08/21/controversial-sociologist-claims-polls-showing-majority-support-for-marriage-equality-are-biased/)[http://equalitymatters.org/blog/201308200003](http://equalitymatters.org/blog/201308200003) Also, he has started his own right wing catholic “institue” called the “Austin Institute” whose first event speaker is good old Robbie George aka gays can’t get married because they don’t have the right private parts (aka PIV if you know what that stands for)…[http://www.austin-institute.org/mission/](http://www.austin-institute.org/mission/) Finally, this is all part of new right wing talking points put out by some outfit called the “John Jay Institute” about how to win over people is to dehumanize gays so people won’t feel like are they are being bigots… [http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2013/08/19/58528](http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2013/08/19/58528) ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > Yeah, but it’s still expensive . . . Come to think of it, why bother with getting new recruits into a discipline? Just perform the proper rites and take over the souls of the ones in it now. Much cheaper, you just need a few babies’ blood and some incense. No self respecting gay would be without either of those on hand. ---
