Any bets on how long it will take...
for the Fundies to say that 'Katrina' is retribution for the Mardi Gras and the 'acts' that take place in New Orleans? Maybe they have already, I don't venture in there...

3. And atheists cause AIDS!
Irrefutable logic here!

:rofl:

"Atheists Spread AIDS <...>

(2) Most people who have HIV (and therefore get AIDS) are homosexuals.

(3) Most homosexuals are atheists (whether "weak atheists," otherwise known as "agnostics:" who say they don't believe in God, or "strong atheists" who assert that there is no God; which is a silly distinction to spend a long time fussing over, as they often do).

(4) Therefore, the largest category of people who have HIV (and are therefore spreading it, since you can't spread it unless you first have it) are atheists.

(5) The second largest body of people who spread HIV are needle-sharing drug addicts.

(6) Most needle-sharing drug addicts are atheists.

(7) Therefore, the second largest group of people (other than homosexuals, although many homosexuals are needle-sharing drug addicts too) is also mostly made up of atheists. <...>

(11) Almost everyone who has AIDS is an atheist."


Found at "Fundies Say The Darnedest Things." I already posted about that board, but I just HAD to share this masterpiece of critical thinking with everybody...

I particularly like this quote from James Dobson on "preventing" homosexuality.

"{On preventing homosexuality in young boys}

{T}he boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and affirm his son's maleness. He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard. He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger."

Dr. James Dobson, Focus on the Family

5. Great minds thinking alike!
I just posted that Dobson quote in R&T! Almost fell on the floor laughing.

Over the weekend I saw the great French/Belgian movie "Ma Vie en Rose" ("My Life In Pink"). About a 7-yr-old boy who decides he should have been born a girl. The French people in that one reacted about like bonehead Americans would, when the kid started walking around in dresses and makeup.

7. Not long
And it will take even less time for Fred Phelps to post a "Thank God for Hurricane Katrina - Killer of gays in New Orleans" web page, no doubt. :eyes:
