Obama is not black. He is half white.


This will explain it all:









The Zebra

A Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters, he
asks St. Peter, "I have a question that's haunted me all of my
days on earth. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white
stripes?"
St. Peter said, "That's a question only God can answer." So the
zebra went off in search of God.
When he found Him, the zebra asked, "God, please - I must know.
Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?"
God simply replied "You are what you are."The zebra returned to see
St. Peter once more, who asked him,
"Well, did God straighten out your query for you?"
The zebra looked puzzled. "No sir, God simply said
'You are what you are."
St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, "Well then,
there you are. You are white with black stripes."
The zebra asked St. Peter, "How do you know that for
certain?
"Because," said St. Peter, "If you were black with
white stripes, God would have said, "You is what you is."

Bob,

Denying the theory of evolution is not necessarily anti-science.
I can't see how it isn't.
OK. then we'll just have to disagree

As long as you're clear that you're disagreeing with everyone who
knows what science is...

Which, unfortunately, is a dismayingly small percentage of the
population.

Many think they know but they're completely ignorant of the
principles of the scientific method.

And a dismayingly small percentage of the current population of those
who claim to be scientists. This will become very apparent within a
few decades when all of the global warming, er, global climate change
"scientists" are proven wrong. That will be the biggest setback to
science in our lifetimes.

Do you understand that, historically speaking, many scientific hypotheses
are proven wrong and that doing so is consistent with the scientific
method?

Really?

I hope that "almost" you speak of has several orders of magnitude
behind it.

I don't see many religious right people in the US strapping ball
bearing and nails around their body over the top of several pounds of
plastic explosive.

Nope, they just hop into B 52s and bomb entire cities.

To say nothing of the odd abortion clinic.

I'm with Jay and Bertie on this.

Why don't youjust run a knife through me?

Huh?

Bob,

Clearly those aren't in the same league as the evil
that promotes suicide bombers.


But they may add support. A good example is the Catholic church, where
millions of "passive bystanders" give much more emphasis to any weird
statement the pope or a cardinal might make, simply by silently letting
it pass and allowing the church to count that as consent.


Now that's not nice. The Catholic Church was very nice to you guys in WW2.
Don't you think you owe them somethng?

Sorry, the notion that Jay agrees with me on anything has upset my
little buyip world.
He actually said something intelligent about religion there. I'm not
feeling well at all as a result. I feel as though I'm some sort of weird
parralell universe.

You're not a talking rabbit, are you?

Not sure what you mean, but the pope's (non-)reaction to the Holocaust was
one of the many major disgraces that religion has heaped on itself.

Thanks. We've had a number of good explanatory replies here, but when arguing religion or
politics it does tend to heat up.
