Rambling, gambling man. 2

It's one of those nights. I despise people who write lies. Those who knowingly spread falsehoods, and I despair for those who parrot stupidity. What does one say to the ardent idiot who asserts that Black people are black because they descended from Ham, the son of Noah (of the great flood myth. See Genesis), who got a curse placed on him? Is it worse that it's Black people presenting that utterance? It's saddening. How can a person swallow a claim that implies servitude due to colour of ones skin, because of a religious book? It's baffling. Worse, the message is spread around and reified. Mental slavery never had it so good.

I come from a world of fervent superstition and religious fundamentalism, but I can't still help being startled by Young Earth Creationists - you know, those people that believe the Earth and the Universe are 6000 to 10,000 years old. I have debated a lot of them on the interwebs, and it strikes me as odd that their most fundamental evidence for a short age is tantamount to counting the ages presented in the Bible. No, seriously! For them, most of the sciences, and scientists, must be embroiled in an unholy, very vast, conspiracy. Yuck!

Then there's WND. Soy makes you gay!!111!!! 4,000 out of 5,000 prophecies have been fulfilled!!!

Oh, and what's the deal with the Americans that insist Black people should vote for Obama because he's Black? Seriously? That's as stupid as not voting for him because he's Black.

Screw this, I'm going to bed. I'll have some whine with that, if you please.
