Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell calls evolution "a myth" and backs up her claim with the question: if evolution is real, "why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?"
Intelligent thought is the antithesis to religion. Organized Religions need people to believe in devils and witches. And the Ruling Elite needs Religion to keep the masses in check.
“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”
Religion needs Caesar and Caesar needs Religion.
Keep the serfs busy with witches and devils so that they do not see their pitiful lot in life. Make them beholding to Priests who tell them what to think and do.
Then the Caesar's (the ruling Republican elite) allow the Religions to continue so as to keep the serfs in place.
Works out well for the Priests and Caesar.
That is how it works.

John Boehner Is Not Lying - He Didn't Use A Tanning Bed - He Is A Reptoid
You would think it was the second coming of Christ or something. So much is being said of John Boehner's tan and how he got it.
Even Wikipedia has an article about them. Isn't that proof enough?
Still don't believe me?
The most outspoken proponent of the conspiracy theory that reptilian beings in disguise are actually running our planet is David Ickes. He contends that most of our world's leaders, from George W. Bush to members of the British royal family, are in fact 7-foot tall, blood-drinking reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconia. (Makes about as much sense as the myths about God).
But it is not just Republicans - NOOOO.
Just the other day I commented upon Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) and how he looked reptilian.
And they have a sinister plot to control us.
And it explains why there are so many crazy ass Tea Partiers running for office. They believe themselves to be the most purest form of life as they are androgynous and can reproduce without a counterpart.
Christine O’Donnell must be so happy. No sex. No Masturbation. Just love thyself. She sure loves herself.
So Remember - look for RH Neg blood, shifty eyes, clammy skin, signs of megalomania. Avoid Washington at all cost! I believe it to be an outpost inhabited solely by Reptoids and their mind slaves.
Huffington Post is reporting that:
Addressing the seemingly constant chatter about the orangey-tan color of his skin, House Minority Leader John Boehner told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Thursday that his eye-catching complexion is one hundred percent natural.You know I am not a fan of John's or most Republicans in general but he is not lying. It is one hundred percent natural because he is a Reptoid. Reptoid you say?
Reptoids are humanoid reptilian creatures. They speak English and are involved in every major government and corporate decision. They are variously said to either disguise themselves or actually shape-shift into humans, where they have public lives in positions of national importance. Some say the Reptoids are of extraterrestrial origin, and some say they are native to Earth, having developed intelligence before the primates, and have been secretly running things all along.Haven't we all been saying that the people in Washington are nothing but a bunch of snakes in the grass! Well you were right.
Even Wikipedia has an article about them. Isn't that proof enough?
Still don't believe me?
One of the most high profile shots taken at Boehner's tan came during the White House Correspondents' Dinner last year. President Obama joked that the pair actually "have a lot of in common," given that Boehner is "a person of color, although not a color that appears in the natural world."See even the President thinks he is reptilian. And of course his color is not of this world because John Boehner is an alien.
The most outspoken proponent of the conspiracy theory that reptilian beings in disguise are actually running our planet is David Ickes. He contends that most of our world's leaders, from George W. Bush to members of the British royal family, are in fact 7-foot tall, blood-drinking reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconia. (Makes about as much sense as the myths about God).
The Reptilian Aliens which are called Reptoids are proportional in size to modern humans. They have a snake like or lizard appearance. These are highly advanced entities but viewed as being of a negative, hostile or dangerous disposition since they regard humans as a totally inferior race. They would perceive us much the way we would perceive a herd of cattle.If the Republicans have their way we will be just like cattle, living outdoors and eating grass.
But it is not just Republicans - NOOOO.
Persistent stories have emerged for years about the evil that lurks behind the smiling facade of the royal family of England and the United Kingdom . While the theories and evidence runs the gamut, one story that remains persistent is the rumor that Queen Elizabeth II is a shape shifting superhuman creature best known as a reptilian. Her son is Prince Charles as you know.
Parallel to this story is the belief in some quarters that Type O Negative blood is indicative of reptilian, annunaki or so-called ancient astronaut ancestry on the part of those that have this rare blood type. The Universal donor - the person having this blood can donate blood to all but only receive back Type O him or herself.
Also, there is the background of the term 'blue blood' denoting royal ancestry being linked to the reptilian / dragon / annunaki / ancient astronaut bloodline due to the bluish hue of this blood due to a high copper concentration causing this coloring phenomenon.So we should add a blood test requirement to running for office. NO RH Neg politicians - go to your own planet.
Just the other day I commented upon Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) and how he looked reptilian.
And they have a sinister plot to control us.
According to Eric Phelps author of the The Vatican Assassins one of the purposes of the Jesuit Order is the destruction of the protestant reformation and their countries. And to install a One World Government, with a Pope of their choosing.At least that part makes perfect sense!
And it explains why there are so many crazy ass Tea Partiers running for office. They believe themselves to be the most purest form of life as they are androgynous and can reproduce without a counterpart.

Angle, Miller, O’Donnell, Beck, Palin Speak Of God - But Are God And The Devil The Same
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the Word of God."
If you read my blog you know that I don't believe in God, or at least the God as described by most organized religions. Needless to say, it is not always a position which is popular with many of the people I know. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but I just don't get religion. (See - God’s Lunatics: Lost Souls, False Prophets, Martyred Saints, Murderous Cults, Demonic Nuns, and Other Victims of Man’s Eternal Search for the Divine).The Age of Reason - The 18th-century Anglo-American philosopher Thomas Paine
I just can't grasp the concept of a vengeful "God" - it makes absolutely no sense that someone all powerful and all knowing would intentionally inflict pain. I believe most religions are cults that prey on human's fear of the unknown. I am an atheist. I don't believe in god in any traditional sense at all. The "god" of the bible and Koran, etc. are pure myth in my opinion. I believe in mankind. I believe in science.
So needless to say, I don't believe in the devil either. But I did just read about an interesting theory that will undoubtedly send some into apoplectic shock - are God and the Devil the same? At its simplest level, that postulate does answer the question of how an all powerful being could allow such death and destruction - but the very notion runs counter to all that which Christianity speaks.
Turns out that this question has been debated for centuries. But the very notion that the Biblical God is himself the Devil is heretical to mainstream Jewish, Christian, and Islamic dogma and may be treated as blasphemous in any of those religions. Through the ages many have been put to death for even asking this question (But I thought that killing was a mortal sin but it is ok to kill for having questions? Guess not when you have questions about God.).
So what happens when you ask the question if God and the Devil are the same?
The Albigenses, along with the Cathari, who held similar beliefs that God and The Devil were the same, were the subjects of a 20-year long crusade of the Roman Catholic Church which aimed to exterminate them. The crusade massacred an estimated 200,000 to one million people between 1209 and 1229 and was followed by one of the first in what became a long series of inquisitions conducted by the church to purge society of heretics and nonbelievers. Repenters were required to wear a yellow cross sewn onto their outer clothing and to live apart from other Catholics (didn't Hitler require patches on clothing?). Those who refused to recant were hanged or burned.So merely trying to understand the complexities of religion is cause for hanging and burning. I guess that is why they call it "blind faith."
THE DEVIL
So who or what is the Devil? According to Wikipedia:
The Devil (Greek: διάβολος or diávolos = 'slanderer' or 'accuser') is believed in certain religions and cultures to be a powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. The Devil is commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers. The Abrahamic religions have variously regarded the Devil as a rebellious fallen angel or demon that tempts humans to sin or commit evil deeds. Others regard the Devil as an allegory that represents a crisis of faith, individualism, free will, wisdom and enlightenment.
In mainstream Christianity, God and the Devil are usually portrayed as fighting over the souls of humans, with the Devil seeking to lure people away from God and into Hell. The Devils demons. The Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) describes the Adversary (Ha-satan) as an angel who instigates tests upon humankind.
Lucifer Becomes the Devil
According to Biblical stories:
The earth was a perfect creation. The angels shouted for joy. From creation, it was populated by angels. There was a throne, on which sat Lucifer, a super archangel, a cherub, having been at the very throne of God in heaven.
However, Lucifer had allowed his beauty and perfection to fill him with vanity—with self-glory, self-desire. He became envious of God's power, resented authority over him. he plotted with his angels to marshal them into an invading army, to invade the heaven of God, to knock God off the throne of the Universe.
So Lucifer was no longer "Light-Bringer" but now an adversary, an aggressor, a competitor, an enemy. The name Satan means "Adversary." Lucifer's angels now became demons.
According to many of these Biblical scholars, God did not create a devil, but a beautiful, perfect superangel. But God did give to His angels free moral agency—minds that were free to think and reason—the right of free choice.
So God gave Lucifer the right of free choice, knowing that he would become a Devil, in order to do what? Give Lucifer a free choice (that God already knew he would choose to be a devil).
The Right Of Free Choice - Just Don't Ask Questions
This right of free choice (and why it leads us to damnation if we are not careful) keeps popping up in the Bible.
Following the Old Testament, Adam and Eve, the first people, are in a Garden of Eden, in a Paradise. They have everything they want, or rather need, for their wants are poorly developed. One thing, however, is forbidden to them, the apple from the tree of knowledge.
Now if God controlled the earth why would he forbid mankind from knowledge, of all things? Because the truth would make man free of God? Because knowledge would destroy man's faith, or would have exposed the very idea of God as a concept of the Devil himself? Are we to take form this that knowledge is bad and we should just listen to men who wear silk robes and funny hats?
Thus man is taught to believe that this eating of the tree of knowledge was the original sin, the most terrible thing he could have done, a devilish mistake for which he must atone by running to God for forgiveness crying: I will have faith; Faith alone saves; Faith alone is all that matters!
Blind Faith - Do Not Ask Questions - But You Have The Right Of Free Choice, So Long As You Choose Only What We Tell You.
And what of Lucifer and those who make the wrong choices - The Book of Revelation describes how Satan will be cast out of Heaven, down to the earth, having "great anger" and waging war against "those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus". Ultimately, Satan is thrown forever into the "lake of fire" (Revelation 20:10), not as ruler, but as one among many, being treated no different than all the others who have been cast there as well.
GOOD VERSUS EVIL
Why is there good and evil? For many the question can be simply stated as can there be good without evil or evil without good? Must the two coexist? Why do we need evil? Why would God allow evil? If God is all powerful, why can't he stop evil and the devil? Is God just "looking the other way"?
When the earthquake hit Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the World, Televangelist Pat Robertson claimed the earthquake was God's punishment for a legendary pact with the devil.
So was it God inflicting punishment or was it the Devil? Did everyone hurt or killed in Haiti deserve punishment? Pat Robertson certainly believes in a vengeful God. But if God is all powerful and all knowing, why does he need to be vengeful? Isn't vengeance just a petty human emotion? Yeah I know "Vengeance is mine said the Lord."
GOD AS THE DEVIL
Several religious authors throughout history have advanced the notion that the god of the Abrahamic Bible and its sequels is consistent in character with the Devil. They make the case that the Biblical God is a divine force that wreaks suffering, death, and destruction and that tempts or commands humanity into committing mayhem and genocide. Pat Robertson certainly believes that God wrecked suffering and death on Haiti, for a pact that was supposedly made by the great-great- great grandparents of many Haitians. A new version of original sin.
Many of these authors assert their claims by reference to a number of passages in Biblical scripture describing actions of God that they say are evil or Devil-like. Some criticize only Jehovah, the God of the Abrahamic scriptures (Tanakh), in contrast with the "true god" of the New Testament (My issue with that is again, if God is all powerful and knowing, why is he waiting in the wings to save us and is allowing all of these horrible things to happen?). However, other authors apply their condemnation to the entire godhead of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
These writings refer to the Biblical God variously as "a demiurgus", "an evil angel", "the devil god", "the Prince of Darkness", "the source of all evil", "a demon", "a cruel, wrathful, warlike tyrant", "Satan", "the devil", and "the first beast of the book of Revelation". So God as we know it could be the "the first beast of the book of Revelation"?
Marcion of Sinope, the first major heretic of Christianity in the first century AD, "[held that] the Old Testament was a scandal to the faithful … and … accounted for it by postulating [that Jehovah was] a secondary deity, a demiurgus, who was god, in a sense, but not the supreme God; he was just, rigidly just, he had his good qualities, but he was not the good god, who was Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ."[1] The Church condemned his writings as heretical.
Apelles, the second century AD Gnostic, "consider[ed] the Inspirer of Old-Testament prophecies to be not a god, but an evil angel."
The Persian prophet Mani, founder of the Manichaean sect in the third century AD, identified Jehovah as "the devil god which created the world" and said that "he who spoke with Moses, the Jews, and the priests … is the [Prince] of Darkness, … not the god of truth."
More recently "New Age" author Dorothy Leon makes an argument that is not just based on God's actions, but on a remarkable correspondence in two Biblical passages. Their significance has been debated by Biblical scholars through the ages, but Leon states, "The fact that Jehovah is Satan is confirmed in 2 Samuel 24:1 and 1 Chron. 21:1." The first passage says, "And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah," while the second reports conversely that "Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel."
MYTHOLOGY
I am not a Biblical scholar. I admit I do not have all of the answers and in fact have a lot of questions. But when one reads the stories of Lucifer and how he fell from grace, it sounds more like mythology. How is that story different from that of Zeus and Venus and the various gods and demi-gods of Greek and Roman mythology?
And why would an all powerful and all knowing being need vengeance? Why would he need a devil? Why would he allow pain and suffering?
Why do we need free choice if it simply leads to damnation? Why was it forbidden to take fruit from the tree of knowledge?
Why. Better not ask why or you are deemed a heretic and blasphemous.
What Is The Deal With Priests and Preachers - Baptist Bishop Eddie Long Accused Of Molesting Teenagers
Two young men are accusing Baptist megachurch leader Bishop Eddie Long of coercing them into having sex with him during hotel stays on out-of-state trips, according to lawsuits filed in Atlanta. Bishop Long is the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, an Atlanta suburb. It is one of the largest churches in the country, with some 33,000 followers.
Long, who has a wife and four children, also has a TV ministry. And yes that is a Bentley he is driving. He's a preacher who drives a Bentley, has been known to hang around the White House, and received $1 million salary over four years from a charity meant to help poor people. He has also led marches against gay marriage and "delivers" people from the demonic grip of homosexuality. Long once justified taking so much of his charity's money by saying, "You've got to put me on a different scale than the little black preacher sitting over there that's supposed to be just getting by because the people are suffering."
“Defendant Long has a pattern and practice of singling out a select group of young male church members and using his authority as bishop over them to ultimately bring them to a point of engaging in a sexual relationship,” one suit says. According to the men, Long held a "private spiritual ceremony to mark a 'covenant' between them, with both becoming his 'spiritual son.'" Long is also said to have taken one of the men on "overnight trips where they shared a bedroom and engaged in kissing, masturbation and 'oral sexual contact.'" Bishop Long also allegedly used Bible scriptures to justify himself.
Can't wait to hear these new interpretations of Bible scriptures. Just proves my point that they can say just about anything you want them to say, right or wrong. Gives a whole new meaning to 'love thy neighbor."
Bishop Long’s lawyer, Craig Gillen, rejected the accusations. “Bishop Long adamantly denies these complaints,” Mr. Gillen said. “We find it unfortunate that these two young men have taken these actions. We are reviewing the complaint and will respond accordingly.”
The men were 17 and 18 at the time of the alleged incidents, and they say Long checked them into hotels across the U.S. under the name "Dick Tracy".
OK, if this wasn't so serious and about the sexual exploitation of under-age men, I would have to say, really "Dick Tracy"? If true it shows that Bishop Long has a very perverse sense of humor. I am sure Long is very proud of his, um, "equipment."
The two men allege Long gave them presents, including a Mustang, and introduced them to celebrities, like Tyler Perry. Lawyers for the men say church officials knew about the misconduct, but covered it up to protect the powerful Long.
And of course, Bishop Long has a long history of hating homosexuals. The Southern Poverty Law Center has called Long “one of the most virulently homophobic black leaders in the religiously based anti-gay movement.” If true, Long would join the illustrious company of fellow Baptist minister, George Alan Rekers (he of "Rent Boy" fame - you know, the poor man with the bad back who hired a male hooker to help him with his luggage), and the ever famous, perfectly straight, meth-using, Ted Haggart.
Does dressing up in drag, I mean long golden robes and funny hats, just make you a little twisted?

Watchdog: O'Donnell 'Clearly a Criminal'
Sometimes too good to be true is just that - a bunch of lies and distortions piled on top of errors and omissions. If ever the axiom seems to apply, it sure does seem to apply to lots of Tea Party candidates.
One of my favorite witches, Christine O’Donnell, just can't seem to stay out of the news. I guess she firmly believes that all press is good press.
Nonpartisan watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says that Christine O’Donnell “is clearly a criminal, and like any crook she should be prosecuted."
Damn those are some strong words. And what did the non-masturbating, puritanical, single-girl do? According to two complaints, it is alleged the Republican Senate candidate misused $20,000 in campaign funds. “Ms. O'Donnell has spent years embezzling money from her campaign to cover her personal expenses,” the group says.
Girl has to got to eat right?
CREW is seeking a Federal Election Commission audit of O’Donnell’s campaign expenditures, and wants the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office to begin a criminal investigation. The group’s claims are based on an affidavit from an ex-O’Donnell aide, David Keegan, saying O’Donnell used campaign money to pay her rent for two months in 2009 as well as buy food and gas.
For her part, O’Donnell reported that her income between March 2009 and June 2010 was only $5,800. She has not directly addressed reports of her many financial problems, aside from saying that she fell on “hard times.”
She needs to teach financial management classes if she can live on $5,800 a year and run for Senate.
CREW's Sloan said on CNN in advance of the release of the complaint that it's decision to target O'Donnell was not grounded in partisan politics, noting that her organization had called for Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel to resign over ethics violations. (She also discussed the complaint on CBS News, at left.)
"We're about right and wrong and not about black or white, Republican or Democrat," she said. "And it is flat-out wrong for a candidate for the U.S. Senate to be stealing her campaign funds and be using them for personal use."
Maybe Christine can brew up a good spell in her cauldron and make all of this go away.

Quote of the Day
“If taxing the wealthy less were the secret to economic growth, why would we tax them at all?”
Why Are "Conservative Christians" and Republicans Waging War Against The Poor
In an interview today with "Fox News Sunday," Alaska GOP Senate nominee Joe Miller had trouble explaining how he would help the 43.6 million Americans in poverty, even as host Chris Wallace repeatedly pressed him for more than conservative talking points.
Miller is the new poster-boy in Alaska, the ultra conservative Tea Party Christian. And he just has no time or energy for the poor. As the Anchorage Daily News has reported, "Miller has called for across-the-board cuts, phasing out government Medicare and Social Security, and getting rid of the federal Department of Education because it is not in the Constitution, leaving the function to the states. He's going well beyond positions that Palin advocated when she was running to be governor of the state and those she espoused as governor." So what did Miller say:
But Miller is not alone. Oh no. He has plenty of company. As I previously reported, Kentucky Republican Sen. Jim Bunning made himself a pariah when he singlehandedly blocked a reauthorization of unemployment benefits back in February, saying "tough shit" to a Democratic senator's request to help the long-term jobless and complaining that having to stiff the unemployed was causing him to miss a basketball game.
Since then, almost the entire Republican party has taken up the retiring senator's argument that deficit reduction is more important than jobless aid, and extended benefits have been in limbo since the beginning of June, affecting 2.1 million people.
And what of Sharon Angle? In the best blame the victim attitude, Sharron Angle says the unemployed are just lazy. It is too bad she wasn't alive during the Great Depression, she could have saved us all from that too.
I always thought that one of the tenants of Christianity was to help to the poor and underprivileged. But I guess if you believe Sharon they are just lazy and should be forced onto the streets (just not in front of her house).
Blaming the poor for being poor is an easy target. I mean if you are rich you have had to do something right, right? Or is it that you just were luckier and had better circumstances? I mean how many poor get to be like Miller and go to England to study? How many of those stricken by illness are just not working hard enough to pay their medical bills?
Let them eat cake!

He's going well beyond positions that Palin advocated when she was running to be governor of the state and those she espoused as governor." So what did Miller say:
"I think what you need to look at is the context. We had an extension of unemployment benefits several weeks ago, which is beyond what we had in the past in this country. What we have in this country is an entitlement mentality. Entitlement, not just as individual but even at the state level. If all goes wrong, it's the federal government's role to get in there and provide for the general welfare and provide for solvency; particularly, of states and the auto companies, and the banks. Everything else that fails, the government should be involved in bailing out."Miller's views on unemployment benefits are further to the right than the positions of many Republicans in Congress, who oppose extending them if they aren't paid for, but haven't gone as far as to say that they're unconstitutional. [By the way, the Supreme Court has ruled that such benefits are constitutional - but I am sure Miller knows better than they do how to interpret the Constitution.]
But Miller is not alone. Oh no. He has plenty of company. As I previously reported, Kentucky Republican Sen.

Blaming the poor for being poor is an easy target. I mean if you are rich you have had to do something right, right? Or is it that you just were luckier and had better circumstances? I mean how many poor get to be like Miller and go to England to study? How many of those stricken by illness are just not working hard enough to pay their medical bills?
Let them eat cake!
