When the severed head of a wolf wrapped in women's lingerie turned up near the city of Tabouk in northern Saudi Arabia this week, authorities knew they had another case of witchcraft on their hands, a capital offence in the ultra-conservative desert …

Aren’t they really just different names for the same thing?

IS there a real difference between “believing” in Zeus and “believing” that the christian god/s are real?
(or rather, not being aware of the FACT that they don’t exist)

Does it get any more desperate than this? Oh yeah, in a recent poll with 21 choices, those polled rated global warming #21 on their list of worries. It’s fun to watch a fraudulent religion die a horrible death, don’t you think?

In other words, anything for which there’s not strong, repeatable physical evidence. Or in the case of medical “cures”, work better than a placebo does.

Am I alone in this? Just curious.

Liberals indoctrinate youth with the mortal fear of exaggerated cardinal sins like racism, inequality, and disrespect.

Liberals are in complete denial of scientific evidence directly contradicting their most cherished beliefs, such as the objective existence of race (Tang’s and Zhivotovsky’s papers provide unassailable evidence that race is consistently genetically measurable and it traces our geographic spread as a species), the reality of evolutionary racial differences (Rushton has compiled numerous independent scientific papers outlining significant average differences in everything from IQ to gestation time), the correlation between IQ and income for groups (On a per-capita basis, blacks are more likely to be poor than whites, and they consistently average lower on standardized testing and unbiased IQ tests, even when advantaged blacks are compared with disadvantaged whites: See the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth), the astoundingly high crime rates of minorities (Blacks, for instance, being merely 13% of the US population, commit most murders, even though most poor people are white due to the larger white fraction of the total US population: See CVUS06 and the US Census), and the fact that minority population predicts crime levels better than gun ownership (See free metastudy: “The Color of Crime”).

Liberals consider faith more important than facts, denouncing data that paint their beliefs in a bad light as “hate facts,” and asserting that unmeasurable, magic, invisible racism-rays are holding blacks down when the world-wide consistent black/white IQ gap explains the disparities much more logically and accurately.

Liberals resort to denouncements of disbelievers and attempt to silence them as a kind of heretics using tactics like accusations of racism, of financial exploitation, and by employing outright censorship in direct defiance of the spirit of the bill of rights such as “hate-speech” laws. (You can reasonably expect them to try to have this question removed, so if this information is of value to you, copy and paste quickly.)

Liberals have a targeted religious enemy: white people–specifically, “unenlightened” whites who do not share their religious views. They are unmoved by the fact that more than 90% of the victims of interracial crimes are white and 85% of interracial crimes are black-on-white. They do not perceive any racism in the fact that the main-stream media conceals black on white crimes which would normally be extremely news-worth, such as the Newsom/Christian murders, the Ken Tillery murder in reverse-color imitation of the James Byrd murder, et cetera, ad nauseum, and that they conceal the races of the criminals in all cases but white-on-black “hate crimes.” They ignore significant historical details such as the fact that even when slavery was legal in the US, 98% of whites did not own any slaves (see 1860 census), or that virtually every known civilization in history had slavery, and white nations were the first to end it (starting with Denmark). They value all cultures but white cultures, which produced by far the greatest number of significant discoveries and inventions, by any rational criterion. They value diversity, but freely advocate the disappearance of the white race and all its characteristics from the face of the earth (as should be clear to anyone who’s ever seen the offspring of a mixed couple, and genetic race tests confirm what you can see with your eyes: Obama, for instance, would race-test as black, and no reasonable person refers to him as “the first half-black president.”) Liberals deny data showing that whites are not just declining as a percentage, but as in actual numbers (See http://www.scribd.com/doc/14117011). They do not consider facilitation of this to be genocide.

Last, and avoiding the temptation to point out the reverence for Obama, the liberals have an anti-deity even if they do not have a deity. Their devil is Hitler, to whom they make constant comparisons–a mere man elevated in importance to serve as the epitome of evil incarnate, and held there with a fervor that borders on the psychotic.

All-in-all, I just can’t help thinking that it must be a religion, and that their denouncement of religion is especially amusing considering their unwitting participation in one.
