Happy no mail and no banking day. Second Monday of October 2012

Who the fuck votes for morons like this?

Sounds like you haven't met enough Republicans from Georgia.

No need to pick on that small group though. There was a Gallup poll a few months ago that showed 46% of Americans believe in Creationism, specifically that: "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so."

But wait, there's more. Last year an Associated Press-GfK poll showed that 77% of adults believe angels are real (which is actually good news, since a poll a few years before showed 81% believed angels to be real). But to make it worse, a Baylor University survey showed 50% of all Americans believe they're actually protected by guardian angels, 20% say they’ve heard god speak to them, 25% say they've witnessed miraculous healings, 16% say they’ve received one and 8% say they pray in tongues.

For any "believers" out there, my apologies if you think I'm mocking the myths that define you.

Actually I'd just be glad to know you're thinking.

Morning all.

Well I'd be one of the 77% that believe angels are real, I've seen miraculous healing too. But come on, even if we were created here by a God (or seeded here, or were placed here by aliens would be more likely) trying to say evolution doesn't happen and you are a scientist?

What a difference a week makes, I'm sitting here freezing (of course, I'm drinking a cold smoothie for breakfast) and we don't have to turn on the swamp coolers until afternoon. We are starting to get highs in the 80's fall has arrived in the dessert.

Have a good one all!
