this is my biology final
we had to show the scientific expression and moments of science in 10 shows
i showed it to the teacher and she immediately gave me and my partner johan an A

Evil and the god - quick guide to atheism.
I explain this to at least two pe
ople a week.
No, no, he tests us so we can learn for ourselves and learn right from wrong. He knows we aren’t perfect.
God lets us make our own decisions.How is it my decision when my girlfriend miscarries? How is it my decision when my child is born disabled? How is it my learning and decision when my child does not have any chance to live longer than 3 months, 1 or 3 years?
How is it my decision when I live in Africa and I must watch my children die of starvation? How is it my decision when my children die out of AIDS?
How is it my decision when a tsunami, earthquake,volcano, famine, drought, and dozens of other plagues/disasters hit in and innocent people die.
How is it my decision to die out of cancer?
And btw - if he is God, if he is Omniscient, he doesn’t have to TEST us? HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT WE WILL DO!
God seems to be testing some people A LOT more than others.

Valentine’s Day Climate Denial Bombshell
In documents leaked yesterday, The Heartland Institute, a right-wing think tank funded at various times by the Koch family, ExxonMobil and and R.J. Reynolds, detailed plans to create a K-12 curriculum designed to dissuade teachers from teaching science in order to support climate change denial.
A key passage:
We are pursuing a proposal…to produce a global warming curriculum for K-12 schools…[this] effort will focus on providing curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is controversial and uncertain – two key points that are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science.
A coal industry consultant named David Wojick (who has a Ph.D. in something called “Philosophy of Science”) was to be paid $100,000 to design these classroom materials. Heartland also targeted publications like Forbes as new mouthpieces, since
“Efforts at places such as Forbes are especially important now that they have begun to allow high-profile climate scientists (such as [Peter] Gleick) to post warmist science essays that counter our own. This influential audience has usually been reliably anti-climate and it is important to keep opposing voices out.”
The documents were released by an anonymous leak, and have thus far been verified by budget comparisons, tax documents and metadata in the documents that were released. Ironically, Heartland was one of the cheerleaders for the manufactured email-leak controversy known as “ClimateGate” in 2009-2010.
This is some of the most damning proof I’ve ever seen of the depth of organization, money and conspiracy that goes into today’s science denialism movement.
Rundown of good coverage:
DeSmogBlog has released the full documents and has more background
Bad Astronomy for comparisons with ClimateGate

PLEASE read this!! Utah passed this legislation with an overwhelming majority, and the implications are dire for women and girls across the state. The only way to put a stop to it is to draw attention to their insanity. Even if you’re anti-choice, consider the extremity of this law and the precedent it sets for all American women.

Oh my God… WHAT.
WHAT.
Oh dear.
Okay this is bullshit.
If you live in Ohio, cut some bitches. This is fucking stupid.
Dear God, WHAT?!
What the fuck kind of leap of logic does it take to connect having a miscarriage with fucking MURDER?
WHY ARE PEOPLE IDIOTS?
