          Completely inaccurate. The dinosaur should have lasers.
      • sparrowkc, on 06/17/2008, -0/+6You don't have to tell people that you dugg something. The digg counter does that.
    • wontstoptalking, on 06/17/2008, -28/+99Based upon this religion, if you cannot prove it false, than it's true! So I guess you are the real "inaccurate" one here.
      • badassninja, on 06/17/2008, -9/+136Your face is inaccurate.
      • facereplacer, on 06/17/2008, -0/+42Nothing brings me back to 3rd grade quite like a jaunt through the digg comments
      • specialK16, on 06/17/2008, -0/+9Well many people think about God the other way around, if you can't prove it true, the it is false.
        • flashback99, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2except that any claim that anyone makes about god affecting the real physical world (not the imaginary world fantasy world of religion) can be disproven with science.
        • luet, on 06/20/2008, -1/+1nothing can be proven or disproven, you dumbass. all the evidence we have for anything is theoretical, facts are theoretical. that's why some uptight ***** can prance along saying "god works in mysterious ways!" to every effing fact going against god. don't you understand that the argument on the existence of god is one that will never end? it is unsolvable because it impossible to make a case against every single argument, on either side. science is figuring out things, religion is saying "i don't want to figure it out, i just want it to do what it does."

          ***** i'm so drunk
      • Fordi, on 06/17/2008, -8/+18Heh. Jesus DID ride dinosaurs. And Unicorns. And he kicked Chuck Norris' ass in full-contact checkers.

        Jesus did a lot of wild things. Fictional characters tend to.
        • icecoldtrashcan, on 06/17/2008, -8/+14Technically jesus himself was not fictional, he is a man known to have lived.
        • Fordi, on 06/17/2008, -2/+10Except, no, it's likely that he isn't. Go verify that Jesus lived real quick. May I suggest critical analysis of the Testimonium?
        • chicofaraby, on 06/17/2008, -3/+3"he is a man known to have lived."

          By whom?

        • SpongeBad, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9Freddy vs Jesus is much more plausible. Everyone knows there's no such thing as aliens.

        • kurinten, on 06/17/2008, -4/+1Ahh, good ol' blasphemy. Let's just hope you skeptics are right, eh?
        • refugeechris, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2fear consequence much?
        • plaing, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus#Mythical_view

          "non-historicity is still regarded as effectively refuted by almost all Biblical scholars and historians."
        • Fordi, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1@plaing:
          Eh. You have your beliefs. Me? I require evidence.
        • plaing, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1i didn't write that article. the discipline of history isn't technically a science but it's not exactly aesop's fables either.
        • Fordi, on 06/18/2008, -0/+3When we're talking about a book that has had numerous revisions and has been surrounded by powerful political motivations for much of its literary life, evidence is needed for the characters to be considered 'historical'.

          Of course, history doesn't always go through the intellectual rigor that it should.
        • plaing, on 06/18/2008, -1/+1bro, the leading minds in the fields of history and biblical study almost unanimously agree that the 'non-historicity' view or the 'mythical' view is tenuous at best and silly at worst. just because it's the latest internet conspiracy du jour doesn't mean it's an academically responsible position, or that of a rigourous intellectual, no matter how cool it sounds in zeitgeist.
        • Fordi, on 06/18/2008, -1/+1What's zeitgeist, other than a word meaning 'spirit of the age'?

          It may not be academically responsible - but I'm not an academic; I'm a programmer. As far as it goes, I tend not to accept things without evidence, and as far as it goes, I've seen no evidence for the life of Jesus Christ.

          Yes, I'm sure there may have been a man named Joshua bar Joseph - hell, he may have been a public speaker in the early first century. Still, the stories about Jesus Christ bear about as much evidence as quips about Chuck Norris.
        • plaing, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2you're entitled to your 'beliefs,' but they are really that, 'beliefs.' just be clear that it takes as much 'faith' to insist that something didn't happen or someone didn't exist as the opposite. cynicism is no more credible than gullibility if neither are informed views. and really, you have no place to claim that it's "likely that he didn't [exist]" when you are, by your own admission as a 'programmer,' out of your element, and hold a view in opposition to that of the experts in the field you have chosen to comment on. so let's be universal in our rigour, eh?
          no hard feelings. how's philly this time of year? i was a flyers fan growing up.
        • Fordi, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1You using an argument from authority (historians). Stop it.

          "Cynicism is no more credible than gullibility if neither are informed views"

          My views are as informed as I make them, which on this subject is whatever is both available to me and verifiable. Meanwhile, cynicism is the default view for an argument with no backing. As Hitchens wrote a few years back, that which can be presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

          As far as I know, there isn't credible evidence for the life of Jesus - but I may be wrong on this. So, if you've got a report of an extrabiblical account or artifact that hasn't, essentially, been debunked as a fake or forgery, I'm all ears.
        • plaing, on 06/20/2008, -0/+2this article seems to do a good job of summarizing the situation:
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

          honestly bro, i could give two ***** whether you believe jesus existed or not. i just don't like all the condescending ***** that gets thrown around these days by kids on the internet that suddenly think they have the world figured out, and no one can tell them anything (when really they just saw it in a cool internet movie http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ ). i can see that this is a subject that you are interested in, and have at least done some research on it, (i overlooked your reference to the testimonium earlier). best of luck on your quest for truth, bud. i mean that honestly. i really do admire dawkins et al in their single-minded dedication to 'the truth,' i just disagree with their methods and conclusions. if there was a jesus, and if he did say 'ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you,' then we'll all either find that it's true or find that it's not.

          [i like hitchens for his entertainment factor (on the death of jerry falwell: 'if you gave that man an aenema you could have buried him in a matchbox'), but i'm not sure i'd look to him as the articulator of my worldviews]
    • netdroid9, on 06/17/2008, -2/+46Yeah, they used pink crayon instead of actually grafting on the flesh of Christ.
    • Ursapater, on 06/17/2008, -31/+4bury you as humorless
      • wTheOnew, on 06/17/2008, -0/+14You need to have your sarcasm detector looked at...
        • GliTCH82, on 06/17/2008, -1/+1When Cybernetic Implants go Terribly Wrong.

          A 12 part mini-series.
    • Haecceity, on 06/17/2008, -7/+144Absolutely. Jesus wasn't flesh-colored. He was brown.
      • flashingcurser, on 06/17/2008, -1/+63Ummm some flesh colors are brown, even black I'm told.
        • Haecceity, on 06/17/2008, -2/+13I've never seen black flesh (very dark brown, yes) but of course you're right -- real flesh comes in different shades, and I'm in a mixed-race family so I do know that.

          It's absurd that the color "flesh" is taken to mean "pink" but that's how it is.

          As an aside, when I was a kid you could still buy cotton thread labeled as N***** Brown.
        • theaceoffire, on 06/17/2008, -1/+19I am pretty sure all flesh is pink, with different colored skin over it.
        • gn0stik, on 06/17/2008, -0/+17theaceoffire: Yeah, but it all tastes different.
        • Fordi, on 06/17/2008, -0/+12Flesh generally ranges from hot pink to blood red. Dermal layers, however, vary widely, based on melanin content among other factors.
        • 1timeuser, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2Haecceity - "I've never seen black flesh..."

          Then apparently Haecceity you've never seen Wesley Snipes. That guy is so black not even light can escape him.
        • DrGFreeman, on 06/17/2008, -0/+3Buried as boring.
      • rugabug, on 06/17/2008, -5/+11Ancient Israelis were of many different skin colors from white to black.

        • chicofaraby, on 06/17/2008, -1/+1How do you know?
        • Rammy912, on 06/17/2008, -1/+2Because the right-white-left-blacks stole the left-white-right-blacks' land and claimed it as their own.
        • Fordi, on 06/18/2008, -1/+1Lies! The right-white-left-blacks *need* gave them the *right* to use it!
      • wayyy, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2Eh, more like really tan.
    • silverbulletky, on 06/17/2008, -8/+50Agreed.. it should have been Obama on that dinosaur.
      • kimcastic, on 06/18/2008, -0/+7Nahh only McCain was around during the dinosaurs...
    • nonchai, on 06/17/2008, -21/+3Incorrect. The picture appears to be very real and not fake.

      Of course what it depicts is very inaccurate but nothing those xtian apologists cannot come up with a "plaster fix" for via means of their enourmus and misplaced intellect not to mention - sophistry.

      • chuckDontSurf, on 06/17/2008, -0/+6This is digg. If you can't recognize sarcasm, what the ***** are you doing here?
      • coyote1284, on 06/17/2008, -1/+1If you honestly think every Christian believes that Jesus rode dinosaurs, you are just as ignorant as the Creationists.
        • flashback99, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Does every Christian believe that Jesus is the son of an omnipresent sentient being that nobody has any evidence for existing since the dawn of humans charting history?

          Ignorance works on different levels.
    • mikeyrock, on 06/17/2008, -7/+60obviously fake.. jesus was black
    • Nevermor7, on 06/17/2008, -5/+30Photoshopped..... Jesus did not live in the time of the dinosaurs- in fact, Dinosaurs are a plot from the Godless to try and hide the fact that God created the world 5,000 years ago...
      • jmp478, on 06/17/2008, -1/+16Jesus probably used photoshop
      • BoneheadFarker, on 06/17/2008, -0/+10Wait...I thought they were put there by God to test the people's faith? No no no...they were put there by the devil to confuse the faithful, that's it...
        • Shots, on 06/17/2008, -0/+3it's either one or the other..
        • lpcustom, on 06/17/2008, -1/+2According to the Bible, God is the light and the dark. Discuss.
        • Wakkyweed, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1God and the devil are the same person.
    • somnambualist, on 06/17/2008, -7/+31Well, it is inaccurate if think it's from an actual book.

      This is by a great artist named Derek Chatwood.

      Here is his flickr:
      http://www.flickr.com/photos/bar-art/

      He, at least, deserves credit. Check out his other stuff. I actually own two prints.
      • crashingechelon, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1Crazy I was looking through his flickr and come to find the guy is a level designer for Condemned 2. Unless of course I read the info wrong.
      • Fordi, on 06/17/2008, -0/+3http://www.flickr.com/photos/bar-art/546252526/

        This one and the below comments were awesome.
      • somnambualist, on 06/17/2008, -0/+10Why am I being dugg down for giving the appropriate attribution? I haven't been on digg in awhile, is it suddenly not cool to attribute work to the correct artist? Just make flip jokes and not try to find sources? Just all pretend it's real?
        • lacr, on 06/17/2008, -1/+4I dug you up one so now you're -1 instead of -2...It doesn't help much but I understand because sometimes I make completely logical comments and I get dugg down?
        • Rammy912, on 06/17/2008, -1/+2Is that a question?
        • thelizardreborn, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2i for one appreciate you giving credit

      • sudhama, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1I've recently met Mr. Chatwood briefly at one of my local waterholes where he draws regularly. Very cool guy. It makes me sad that this is on tinypic when he does indeed deserve credit for this and much of his other great stuff.
    • SSCrow, on 06/17/2008, -1/+5I know, it should have been Moses riding Raptor Jesus.
    • whiterice0, on 06/17/2008, -7/+1So someone help me out here. All these Diggers are frothing at the mouth over a painting that an artist did of Jesus riding a dinosaur that doesn't even exist in a book? How ridiculous do you all look?

      Seriously. For *****'s sake. This makes me pissed. People with a sense of realism get ridiculed, yet religious nitwits get all the privileges they can pray for.. frustrating. Glad I don't live in such a country.
      • BufordT, on 06/17/2008, -2/+10I was brought up in a fairly religious household, and have never heard mention of dinosaurs in church once. I think this is a very localized incident. Most churches steer completely clear of dinosaurs and paleontology in general, due to their inability to correlate it to a Christian time-line.
      • SasquatchBill, on 06/17/2008, -1/+17Before you get all worked up... it's a parody.

      • chillmandan, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1Lets take a deep breath. I've grown up in the church and for the most part most moderate Christian institutions recognize that man was not around during the age of the dinosaur and that Jesus did not ride them....although that would be badass if he did.
      • Syntaxis, on 06/17/2008, -1/+2Parody? Maybe in this instance, but that museum explaining innocent kids that the earth is 6000ish years old? It's insane.
    • schmuckle, on 06/17/2008, -1/+27Ok, now what we should take as FACT is that this is a parody. From what I can tell it was done by Derek Chatwood. He's also got a funny one about Jesus fighting Darwin. Under the color catagory here:

    • trispear, on 06/17/2008, -1/+4Um, yeah. We have a book called the bible that teaches about "an eye for an eye", sleeping with your two daughters to repopulate the earth, the inevitable incest from the Adam/Eve story (who will their children marry?), a jealous emomaniacal god unleashing floods and other such disasters upon people for not praising him enough.... and some people take this all way too seriously, a frighteningly large part of the population actually.

      And you are worried over a book about Jesus riding dinosaurs?

      Help stop child abuse. Get on your local school boards and stop the religious fanatics from teaching lies to our children and blocking science.
      Ohh, and don't vote republican........ever.........They are the ones who create this stuff.


    • lt1camarov8, on 06/17/2008, -4/+0This is NOT a fake, or a parody, or anything like that. This is from an actual coloring book called 'Jesus and Friends.' I know this because I know the guy that took the original picture. His name is Mike. (i can't remember the author of the book.) He found the coloring book (which, as you can see had already been colored in) at a Goodwill store on Southport Road in Indianapolis, IN in 2006 or early 2007. He bought the book, scanned in some of the funnier pages, then posted this picture to some friends' myspace page, and it took off from there.

        • ElAssoWipo, on 06/17/2008, -2/+17Yeah, there's bible jesus and historical jesus.

          Historical Jesus actually existed, there's evidence of the time that shows he did.

          Except of course, historical jesus wasn't a messiah and none of the dates match anything. The dates were made up by romans to correspond with pagan festivals to make the forced transition easier. The rest of it has very little connection to reality, most of the personna of jesus is based on a set of previous religions mashed up together over the 1500 years it took to invent the press, allowing to actually make two copies that said the same thing. Before that, every copy made was re-written by hand, in different cultures and countries and languages...

          Historical jesus was basically a judaic reformist who got killed for disagreeing with and opposing the establishment.

    Dad, did dinosaurs really exist?
    Sure they did, son. The Bible says so. They didn't call them "dinosaurs" back then, but instead they were known as "leviathans" or "behemoths".
    But, my science teacher says dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Is that true?
    Of course not, son.
    Then how old are they?
    Well, let's see. The Bible tells us [from Adam and Eve's family tree] that the Universe is only a few thousand years old. So dinosaurs had to have lived within the past few thousand years. That's simple logic, son.
    Oh. So that means they were on Noah's Ark?
    Absolutely! The Bible says two of every animal were brought [by God] to the ark. Dinosaurs were animals. So, using your logic again son, dinosaurs had to be on the ark.
    Huh. So how come scientists say they're older than that? and died way before Jesus?
    Well, son, they just make that up. Dinosaur bones don't have labels on them to tell how old they are. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist saw dinosaurs die-
    Dad!
    No I'm serious. Scientists only find the bones in the here and now, and because many of them are evolutionists, they try to fit the story of the dinosaurs into their view.
    That's sad. But I thought scientists were smart?
    Sure, but they don't know everything. So they have to make stuff up to fit their beliefs. While you and I, we have the facts, straight from the Bible.
    I don't want to be a scientist!
    Ha! That's ok, son. It's better to be right, than smart. C'mon, wanna learn how to flip burgers like your Dad?

        • smacksaw, on 06/17/2008, -0/+12What is the "origins debate" you speak of?

          I think it's interesting that people who dislike evolution call it a debate. It takes two to tango and two to debate. Besides, how do you debate religious belief as absolute truth? There is no debate if it's infallible truth. That is such a disingenuous use of the word "debate", because if there's a debate it means that argument could be used for you all to be wrong.

          Is it possible you could lose the debate and admit you're wrong? That ID is nonsense and evolution is correct? Because if an evolutionist met God tomorrow, that would be the scientific evidence they needed to change their mind.

          I just want to know - simple yes or no answer. Through the "ID debate", can you lose the debate and be wrong and evolutionists and agnostics be correct?
        • stickyman, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2Exactly smacksaw.
        • compcarp, on 06/17/2008, -5/+0Smacksaw: Rarrrrr someones in a fighting mood. Nice comeback! However, you failed to answer the question - you just did the typical leftist tactic of diverting the question with hate-filled, biased, uninformed dribble.
          The closed-minded always have something to fear from knowledge. Evolutionist devotees are blinded by their dogma - they can't stand to entertain any ANY concept that would show holes in their precious armour of stale theories.
          Creationists have heard (ad naseum) about the evolutionist theories and found them wanting.
          Evolutionist only really know about evolution and create elaborate excuses for the blatant, logical, historical, scientific flaws.
          This reply will only inflame you and I'll get dug down... Regardless. Evolution is bunk.
          What we can observe (science, anyone?) is DEevolution as the centuries go by. We find organisms losing genetic information in natural selection - which is why we cross pollinate now - to re-emerge the genetic code from formerly joined species.
          God created - horses, dogs, specific plants etc... and over the many many thousands of years - we get splits along the way of diverging species... Check out the 'hollars' and ghettos for the low end of the gene pool...
          Again, if science is about observation - THAT is observable - and that is only one component of Creation Science. Sadly, evolutionists have to ignore TRUE science - or argue around it.
          Yes, I am a Creationist and proud of it.
          As to the original post - Jesus is the creator (see the book of John) so it's not too much of a stretch to say he enjoyed his creation.
        • BoneheadFarker, on 06/17/2008, -0/+3"Creationists have heard (ad naseum) about the evolutionist theories and found them wanting."

          Because rather then look at the world around them and take it at face value, they look at a book that's been rewritten and translated several times through the centuries and try to fit the world into the book. That's not how science works. There are no preconceptions, no searching for evidence to fit a predefined world-view, no denying evidence because it doesn't fit that world view...only observable facts. It's funny that you describe the scientific community as falling into the same fallacies that creationists adhere to.

          Sorry, but "Creation Science" is an oxymoron...
        • lwoodnj, on 06/17/2008, -0/+3That's quite simply a ridiculously naive interpretation of "observations". To be fair, I think the problem you're running into is the idea that evolution must always "advance" a species. Evolution is just a theory of change, "good or bad". It's about adapting to the provided situations: whoever succeeds best over time in given conditions creates more of him/herself. It in no way means that the changes are for the best. Hell, just look at the OTHER end of human society (rather than the "Hollas" and the "Ghetto" you talk about so coldly). Vicious, superficial, selfish, often virtually retarded human beings who inherit their parents successes, or simply "look" good, get laid. Would a world of these people be better? Well, not in my opinion. However, evolution doesn't care about morality: It just cares about what succeeds and reproduces best in given conditions.

          Also, seriously, evolution is a thousand and thousand and million and million of year process. Not something you're likely to get a chance to "observe" personally in your pet dog, or it's litter, or their litters, or their litters...etc.
        • AnansiWeaver, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2Compcarp:

          Aren't creationists guilty of being blinded by dogma and creating elaborate excuses for the blatant, logical, historical, creationist flaws? I've seen creationist jump through some pretty large flaming hoops just to avoid the possibility that they are wrong (dinosaurs on the ark being one of them, dinosaurs being around during the rise of human civilization being another especially since there is no evidence scientific or historically to support this claim)) I've seen creationists say evolution cannot possibly work, not list any logical reason why it shouldn't, show now evidence for their claim, provide no data but their faith and ignore this simple burning truth:

          If it is impossible for life to spontaneously evolve and can only come from an intelligent designer / creator then how would the first Intelligent designer / creator have come into being? (most creationist resort to the deus ex machina of "god was always there" or "God is beyond such.." or "the bible says... and or the classic "ya gotta have faith"" to avoid honestly answering the question.) Creationist "Science" is undone by it's own hypothesis.

          Evolution, while not fully understood yet, is still observable, testable and is the most plausible answer on how life took root in our universe. Retconning Jesus to the Jurassic period is not.
          (Reteconning Jesus to the Jurassic period actually puts devalidates "biblical history" because many of the stories in the bible can be cross referenced using other cultures in the region. There is not historical record of Dinosaurs running around during the Greek, roman, Babylonian, Sumerian, Egyptian etc. empires. All of which we would use as a reference when validating various events in biblical history.)

          I submit that evolution does not state that there is no God especially since there are evolutionists, scientists and the like that are devoutly religious people. For all we know God evolved over the billions of years our universe has been in existence to it's current form (whatever that may be.). For all we know God started the evolutionary process again on our insignificant little mud ball as an experiment. For all we know, as a product of evolution, God intends for us to evolve in a similar manner.

        So yeah, funny - but also dangerous to the Christian mission of saving as many souls as possible.

        • MammasMilk, on 06/17/2008, -1/+4I suppose that may be true, possibly, to a small extent, but I doubt it. As a former Christian, it took a lot of thought to come around to discounting religion all together. Goffy-ass nonsense is a hoot, but it does not inform my rejection of god and religion any more than the positive and rational influences of my parents (Christians) do anything to make me believe what they do.

          So don't worry too much about this sort of thing. Simply put, sometimes folks just aren't buyin what you're sellin'. Simple as that.

          I know ***** about Hinduism, but I'd bet the farm the true believers are whacked. But maybe not dangerous... but then again, aren't the Hindus blowing up Muslims in India (and vice versa?)?
          I'll also go out on a limb here and say a "true believer" in virtually _anything_ is whacked. It just goes with the territory.

          I swear if we'd all get over this fear of dying and fretting over our "afterlife" and ***** live THIS life, bluebirds would sing on our shoulders and butterflies would live for decades.

    • Haecceity, on 06/17/2008, -2/+18Yes, we took away your power. Once you would have tortured and executed us for laughing at your more absurd beliefs, but now you can't do that any more. We took away your power. Get used to it, and stop whining.
      • MacEnvy, on 06/17/2008, -0/+13This is true. When Christians had the kind of political power they did back in the Middle Ages, they sure were killing anyone and everyone who didn't follow their particular brand of crazy. It's just that western society finally had enough of their *****.

        Now we try to keep their political influence to a minimum, but it's still an uphill battle.
    • opiniastrous, on 06/17/2008, -1/+14The reason that Christians don't react like you are claiming all Muslims do is because they tend to live in liberal democratic societies where harming/killing people for criticising your beliefs is socially unacceptable, reducing the likelihood that they will kill or involve themselves in huge social uproar because they were offended (though they have and do).

      By the way, in case you didn't realise, atheists think Christians and Muslims are equally wrong in their beliefs. So really, it's not like there's a double standard there... The 'baton of tolerance' is not simply handed to Muslims. What you are probably seeing is two different groups doing different things: the atheists sick of America's hateful, conservative, evangelistic Christian style (who bag Christians) and the liberals sick of those who fail to understand the intricacies of a religion that has no central authority, and therefore associate all Muslims with extremists/terrorists (who defend Muslims).

      In reality, there is probably overlap between the two groups, and the later group is probably largely made up of atheists as well, but I guess their first and foremost grudge is against blatant ignorance and hate, which is why American Christians are always under fire but atheists tend to let the rest of the world's 1.5 billion or so Christians off the hook (Note that Parisians never built a creation museum, that the Vatican doesn't refute the theory of evolution, that the Viennese don't claim Jesus rode dinosaurs and that the Amsterdammers don't kill doctors).

      It's not what you believe that rubs us the wrong way, it's the way you believe it.
      • drakethegreat, on 06/17/2008, -0/+4You know the interesting thing is when I point out to people that the Pope is now a believer in Evolution they think I'm lying. Of course they are all idiots who wouldn't actually take the time to look it up cause they are scared of being wrong. It's the same reason they don't understand Evolution to begin with.
        • buddypriefert, on 06/17/2008, -3/+0"seeing the Atheist sick of America's hateful...Christian style". From reading all of the replies to my post, funny how you point the "hate style" finger at the Christian here.
        • opiniastrous, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2@buddypriefert

          OK. Fair enough. You are right in suggesting that there are people who hate Christians here on Digg, and many comments they make are immature (I usually digg such comments down by the way, just to show that I'm as objective as I can be about this stuff). However, as you might have worked out from my previous point, that behaviour is in reaction to a rather hateful socio-religious demographic; it does not spawn itself. You can see that this is so because even though atheists, etc. disagree with all believers, the Christian brothers of that hateful demographic are left alone because they do not act in the same way.

          The members of this demographic typically hail from the south or centre of the US; know little and care little about the world outside of the demographic; are suspicious of those different to them and feel surrounded by enemies; and are unwilling to critically consider their beliefs and actions nor allow others to do so.

          These characteristics cause the demographic as a whole to act in a way very different to most others. Firstly, their lack of knowledge about the outside world causes them to generalise many things, such as threats (e.g. Muslims). In terms of international political theory, the demographic is very much realist. Furthermore, the demographic finds comfort in media sources that do not challenge their limited knowledge, but instead reinforces the opinions of the collective group (e.g. Fox News). Their lack of concern for the world around them causes the demographic to believe heavily in the greatness of America, ignore sovereignty and disregard international opinion (e.g. the invasion of Iraq).

          Secondly, a suspicion of alien demographics and sense of encirclement leads it to regularly frame its position as being the righteous force standing against significant enemies, both domestic (e.g. 'liberals' and scientists) and international (e.g immigrants and Muslims). This fear also allows the group to mobilise very effectively in support of its own beliefs (e.g. Bush's two Presidential campaigns and the push for 'Intelligent Design'). In fighting for its beliefs, the demographic also consistently uses sly methods to gain prestige and power and subvert the prestige and power of its enemies (e.g. Obama's 'terrorist punch').

          Thirdly, because the demographic's members do not like to critically analyse their own beliefs or allow others to do so (largely because of the first two points), they often suffer heavily from cognitive dissonance when their beliefs (e.g. Christianity) are challenged. This causes them to over-react and invent absurd explanations for the facts that contradict their beliefs (e.g. Creationism, and the idea that dinosaur bones are produced in Chinese atheist sweatshops as part of a conspiracy to deny the greatness of God, which we all saw on Conservitapedia...).

          Now, if you are a believer in God, but not one of these people, then I apologise for potentially making you look like one. However, you could live amongst this demographic because of your American Christian association, and it probably does rub on you a little bit.

          I myself, do not think I am knowledgeable enough to absolutely deny the existence of a God, but I doubt there is one, which is why I consider myself an 'agnostic with an atheistic suspicion'. I do however, think myself knowledgeable to know what kind of world I would like to see my kids grow up in, and it definitely isn't the one that your average American conservative Christian wants.
