"Gallileo made the right choice by giving up Science for Christ"

[proud2BlibKansan]

Make sure and see Jesus Camp. It's on A&E.

1. Nothing could make me watch such filth

I have lived all my life in the deep, dark south amongst these monsters. I don't need to watch a movie to know what they're like. The only way you can shut them up is to out-Bible them, which, given their intrinsic stupidity, is not difficult.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. It is really a funny film

These people are fuckin nuts.

I am surrounded by them too. Feels good to laugh at them.

[Glorfindel]

6. I have seen short excerpts from it on YouTube, etc.

And, you're right, of course, they should be laughed at whenever possible. :hi:

10. Notice how lily white this group is

Makes you wonder what they teach the kids about race.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Except, of course, that he really didn't.

The Inquisition tried him for heresy and he was forced on pain of possible execution to recant his writings establishing the, um, FACT that the earth revolves around the sun. He never gave up scientific research.

The fundies scare me. They are the new Inquisition -- or, at least, they'd like to be.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. They are insane

Completely and totally insane.

[lastliberalintexas]

4. Yeah, essentially at gun point

But I guess they ignore that part.

7. "E pur si muove!"

[Elidor]

8. Smart Christians know that science exists in its own domain

And that faith and science can only commingle in the belief that God is the ultimate scientist.

But there aren't that many smart Christians.

[Aristus]

9. Hey, there are plenty of smart Christians. I'm one of them.

It's ultra-right fundys that are cerebrally-challenged...

[Didereaux]

11. just curious how do christians determine the line between the ...

smart christians and the ultra-fundies?

[Elidor]

12. Perhaps there are

My little corner of the world is populated by many fundies. I should remember there's a much bigger world out there. My parents are Christians - smart Christians - but they seem such a tiny minority here on the buckle of the Bible Belt. Sometimes I just despair of reason holding back the darkness.

17. Here you go-

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. Muslim extremists, Christian Fundamentialists, etc, they are all the same.

[msongs]

15. galileo knew obama? nt

[catnhatnh]

16. Still, it DOES move. N/T

[defendandprotect]

18. Gallileo's science succumbed to threat of torture . . . or maybe actual torture --- !!!

[jpgray]

19. And Kepler's mom was a witch!
