We've got Jesus on our side. That gives us an advantage, no matter how many of them there are.

[Jervill]

Jesus is not only a complete badass, he gives a +10 morale boost to all nearby soldiers.

EDIT: He's also a lich, so he's practically invincible.

It's kinda funny, if God were made president for life (all eternity) as some of the religious right wants, then he'd demand we heal the sick and tax the rich to pay for it (easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter heaven). He'd promptly be impeached as a socialist.

I think you should be wary of assuming your interpretation of God is the only valid one.

I'm not religious anymore; haven't been for years. Tongue in cheek joke.... Point well made for people who do assume that though (not me).
The punchline was about how so many people say "the bible says," while ignoring so much else of what it says..... The far right in the US wouldn't actually like biblical law. Thus it's kind of ironic that people say "the bible says" or "god says" X, while picking and choosing, and of course presupposing their interpretation is right.

Well then, we should make our voice heard, broadcast our interpretation of the Bible to the ends of the earth, that'll really confuse them earthlings!

Biblical law would be excellent for the livestock industry however, what with all the various sacrificial prescriptions.

"Aw man....I had another unclean thought. Lucky thing I have Goats-R-Us on speed dial. Wait, that sounds kind of......dammit, now I need two goats."

[Urist Imiknorris]

And then goats were driven to extinction.

I'm curious, is there something that shows the LGBT population in North Carolina and other states?  I ask because I wonder if that has any effect on just how well gay marriage bans do.

[GlyphGryph]

Don't be silly, Urist. Being domesticated and having a high demand for your body is practically the best way to guarantee species survival! After all, there's a whole ton of money to be made off making more of you.

[kaenneth]

I'm pretty sure Jesus was actually gay; all the signs point to it.

[Loud Whispers]

Back in ancient times, there wasn't even a difference between homo/hetero-sex.

There.
Was.
Just.
Sex.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Particularly in Rome.

Particularly if Caligula or Nero is Emperor.

[Loud Whispers]

Caligula

AH hahahaha.

Romans. Other words need not be said.

[Jervill]

Maybe I would respect Republicans more if they would quit acting like cartoon villains.
Here's a clip of Scott Walker (R-WI) explaining his plan of taking out unions and turning Wisconsin into a "red state":

Apologies for a change of topic (which I kind of started anyway), but I saw this today and wondered how in blue hell it had not been seen and stopped sooner. Way to be your own worst enemy.

I read link to the Wired article that had some of the actual slides. I half-expected them to start talking about the communists muslims plotting use fluoridation to corrupt our precious bodily fluids.

For more U.S. military asshattery, there is another news story out about them as well:
You know those new F-22 fighter jets with the $400 milllion each cost and the dubious tactical necessity?
It turns out that you can't even fly one out of combat without receiving debilitating and possibly deadly oxygen deprivation.
Needless to say, when soldiers protested this, the air force sprung into action to fix the problem.
The problem, of course, being a few soldiers who won't unquestioningly do as told, and the solution being disciplinary procedures that could end their careers.

Yikes.  That's... extremely serious.  It could certainly colour their views on whether "collateral damage" in attacks is acceptable.

It's also hypocritical in how the Pentagon is trying to distance themselves from the course material. Would the extend this same presumption of innocence to a Muslim group in which just one Imam is teach radicalism? Or would they hold the whole group accountable?
