Fundamentalists - Tyler Thompson

People always talk about Google taking over the world... Is anyone else besides me looking forward to this? I have full confidence in their ability to lead our country; they can't be worse then our current government. Forget Google though, I'll settle for more scientists in general leading this country. The whole anti-intellectual movement (or as I like to call it, the evangelical christian movement) has really taken a toll on this nation. It's hard to take steps forward as a country when a quarter of it's population actually believes that salvation can not be attained through good work, only through faith in Jesus Christ. (Pulled from prayerfoundation.org) Does that make any sense? "So I can be a racist alcoholic and beat my wife and still go to heaven if I accept jesus christ as my lord and savior and atone for all my sins?" Fuck that, you guys can have heaven. I'll be chillin' in Hell with Ghandi. They have all the good music there anyways.
I like how fundamentalists get to just pick and choose which technologies and ideas we can appreciate. Cars? "Sure, as long as it's American made". Computers? "Fine, as long as you stay away from the perverted websites". Dinosaurs? "Yep, they were here. Died in the flood. Noah didn't have room for all the reptilian folk." Evolution? "You mean like monkeys? Where the hell would you get an idea like that? Did Ghandi tell you that?"
