Please DU this poll you filthy heathen.

There are two polls at link, 'Did Obama's nonbeliever remark bother you?', and 'Do you believe in a higher power?'

1. I was surprised

at the current results. About 11% reporting no belief in a higher power, which is pretty much what we know. Overwhelmingly did not bother people (about 2 to 1). Maybe there IS hope.

2. Good grief.

Did you read the article?

Rev. Jackson (referenced) is a real piece of work.

3. Yes, Rev. Jackson is a silly man who deserves to smell stinky farts.

But what do you expect, 'reverend' usually means that the person makes no sense.

4. Done.

Done before today but I was too lazy to respond until now.

5. done, nt

[rrneck]

6. Done. Thanks for the heads up. nt

[ThomCat]

7. Done.

The large majority aren't bothered, but they'll keep reporting that "some" are. It legitimizes the importance of the believers talking about them as if they are the norm. x(

8. Isn't it interesting, by the way, that the question itself is phrased in such a negative way?

"Did it bother you?", as opposed to "Do you approve?"

An update: Common sense is ahead, by almost a 4-1 margin:

No: 73%, 437,023 votes
Yes: 27%, 161,173 votes

9. Done...

The delusional bunch think they are above everyone and the center of the fucking universe.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. Too outrageous not to be mentioned in GD.

With the predictable reflex no-true-scotsmanning away, but that's par for the course.

11. I didn't do it...

Simply asking the question will evoke way more "nos" than if it hadn't been asked. I don't give a shit what the results of that poll are. A significant portion of so-called "believers" don't even really believe. Those are the people who don't comprehend the word "omniscient." They think they're "pulling one over" on the lawd. You can bet your ass that over 20% of the people in this country don't believe in god. It's just that they don't really think about it; they're just programmed to say they do by the mass media.

You really want to do something? Here's an idea: how about we get up an atheist meet up at one of those creation science museums? You know, do some serious homework for about three or four weeks, meet up with some fellow atheists for a mini vacation, and check it out. Take photos where we can, take lots of notes at the "museum," and write up an article. Just a thought. Prolly already been done, but wouldn't it be cool to experience it first hand?
