http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/5-doomed-hilarious-efforts-religious-right-disprove-science1. Climate Change Isnt Happening, but if It Is Thats Fine Because It Means Jesus Is Coming
Whos not worried about climate change? Pastor and conservative radio host Matthew Hagee, who thinks the extreme weather and melting polar caps are not signs of mans deleterious effect on the environment but rather augurs of Jesus impending return.
"The Bible says that whenever we approach the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ,that there would be strange weather patterns, Hagee said. Do we believe what an environmentalist group says and choose to live in a world where we're attempting to make everything as clean in the air as possible, or do we believe what the Bible says, that these things were going to happen and that rather than try to clean up all of the air and solve all of the problems of the world by eliminating factories, we should start to tell people about Jesus Christ who is to return?

4. AIDS Has Been Weaponized to Doom Heterosexual Culture
HIV/AIDS seems particularly lodged in the darker regions of the conservative movement. But modern conservatives have had trouble maintaining the idea that the disease was a moral verdict upon homosexual decadence after the eradication in the publics mind of the myth of AIDS as the gay disease.

(3,595 posts)2. Regarding point # 2,
all's you dumbasses need to do is visit the Creation Museum where truth be told. There, you will find a kid on a saddle, riding on a dinosaur. God will punish you doubting Thomasis when I get in the ampitheater with the Big Guy and you don't.
