Whatever the outcome, the one thing that is completely clear from the caution of the CERN scientists about their findings is the vast difference between the ways Science and Religion try to make sense of the universe. Here it is in summary:

On god, holy books, and faster-than-light neutrinos

RELIGION
“Here’s this ancient Holy Book that contains the divinely-inspired words of God, the Creator of the Universe himself.

It tells you how you must live and how you must behave, what you can do and what you cannot do. If you think some parts of the book contradict other parts, remember that your human mind is too small to understand God’s mysterious ways.

Should you not obey our interpretation of this Book, you will suffer excruciating pain and torment for all eternity, after you die.
All this is absolutely true. How do we know? It’s written right there in the Book. DUH!”

SCIENCE

“We’ve apparently detected neutrino particles traveling faster than the speed of light, which means we are going to have to re-think a lot of things we thought we knew about the universe and how it works.

This is extremely exciting, but, even though we have actually observed this phenomenon tens of thousands of times, there is still the possibility that there was something wrong with our experiment.

So, to be as sure as we possibly can, we want other scientists to conduct their own experiments to independently reproduce and verify these results before we can accept them.”

Faith vs. evidence. Who you got?

Try 10 minutes of Bible contradictions conveyed as cute animated quiz show. No guarantees you’ll be more persuasive, but this excellent vid just might sweeten the pill a teeny weeny bit. Enjoy!

I know this could very well be fake, but it perfectly illustrates how even 5-year-olds can think for themselves when it comes to gods and religion. It just highlights the damage that religious brainwashing causes to children’s minds by stubbing out their natural curiosity and predisposition for critical thought.

Quoted from FMLife.com

Today, after church, my 5-year-old son asked me about God, so I answered his questions in full. We talked about God for over 2 hours. At the end of it all, he pondered for a moment, before saying to me “That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard. You’re dumb.” FML

Prepare to believe in a Photoshopped world

Welcome to the Creation Museum.

• Live the history of Creation – seven wonderful days, magically compressed into a couple of hours.
• Visit the Garden of Eden, where children play in the shadow of benevolent dinosaurs and evil serpents talk down from forbidden trees.
• Learn how Noah heroically managed to fit millions of animal species into a tiny boat.
• Discover how unscrupulous Victorian archaeologists buried billions of fake fossils all over the planet in history’s biggest hoax.

Come along and enjoy a terrific day out for all the family. Just check in your brains at the door and prepare to believe in a fantastic Photoshopped world.

WARNING: God's judgment is coming!

As you can see, the warning is quite clear. Pay attention you:

• sex addicts (Both practising and non-practising ones. God hates you all.)
• baby killers (And sperm wasters too, says God.)
• sports nuts (Whether you live healthy lives working out all the time or just chuck beers in front of NBA, NFL or Super Bowl.)
• racists (Not bigots, mind you. God seems to love those!)
• atheists (Yikes!)
• rebellious women (Rebellious men are exempted.)
• lewd women (Phew! I thought he was going to say lewd men for a minute.)
• f se religions (Looks like God asked him to write ‘false religions’ but some doubting Christian took offence and tried to deface it.)
• money lovers (Ooops! Told you God was a commie.)
• liar (Which one? The one with the sign. DUH!)
• drunkards (So your wife left you, you lost all your money gambling, and you had to drown your sorrows? Not God’s problem.)
• two faced people (No! Not Zaphod Beeblebrox as well!)
• child molesting homosexuals (At least normal homosexuals will be spared.)
• thieves (That includes YOU who are reading this at work and thus robbing your employer.)
• witches (Wizards, warlocks and all male practitioners of the occult, you can breathe a sigh of relief.)
• pencil necked, weak kneed, gutless men (Yes, you who don’t reign in your rebellious and lewd women!)
• pot smoking little devils (Only big devils and angels are allowed to smoke pot.)
• AND MORMONS (Sorry guys! You really had it coming.)

God’s judgment is coming, and you’re going to be the first in line. Repent now, or prepare for an eternity of hellfire and gnashing of teeth.

I’d really love to have a video of this kid preaching out there. Should be funny as hell!
