Liar for Jesus: Texas Senator Donna Campbell successfully argued against including survivors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a medical marijuana bill by fabricating data from a non-existent study.

According to reports, Campbell made the claim that a scientific study had found a correlation between veteran suicide and marijuana use. However, no such study exists, and her claim was false. Yet by manipulating her colleagues with her false data, Campbell was able to deny patients with PTSD access to medical marijuana.

During a debate in the Texas Senate over the medical marijuana legislation, Campbell argued against including PTSD in the bill. She justified her opposition by making the following claim:

A study was done, a post-mortem, so a retrospective study done, looking at autopsies and drug levels, what drugs were in the blood of veterans that committed suicide, and 70 percent had THC.

5. pretty much there too...

too many are simply death cults
Nothing in *this* world matters - you just have to please your sky god or you're punished with eternal torture.
And we wonder why they support fascist authoritarians....

So FUCK that

7. Religion is based entirely on MAKE BELIEVE, and yet we're supposed to shuffle

our feet and look at our toes while deferring to religious belief as if it has the same standing as fact.

I don’t care if you’re a nut, a moderate or an almost-never religionist, you are embracing make believe and trying at some level to force it on others. You are also embracing self-loathing as an acceptable view of your own humanity.

As far as the “but religion cares for the poor” etc - give me a break. If you are so out of touch with your own humanity that you need the threat of hellfire to do the right thing, then I pity you.

Amazing that so many otherwise rational people fall for the biggest, oldest and most deadly fairy tale con ever.

8. As Martin Luther said:

“A good hearty lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian Church, a lie in case of necessity, a useful lie, would not be against God."

12. This "Ends Justifing the Means" should be stamped on these christofundy's foreheads.

Because it seems to be one of their tenets along with "Do As I Say, Not As I Do."

15. It's ok to call a productve religionist a Christian. The rabid and harmful variety should be

labelled Christ-Fascists just so we can easily identify them and avoid doing harm to gentle persons.
