(Question: When will libs be wise enough to see that ignorance is not bad...?)
it is actually good to be "ignorant" and not be indocritnated into the teachings of this word...for example,the lie of darwin has sent many to hell!it is starting to get exposed by what it is by people you call "creationists".also,the lie of gore aka global warming just also got exposed !in fact it won't be long before the lies of einstein and newton ,and the lie of keynes are exposed for what they are as well !!!

Newton???
"Newton was a sincere religious believer, who said his discoveries were inspired by God. He devoted more time to the study of Scripture than to science. Newton wrote, "This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being... All variety of created objects which represent order and life in the universe could happen only by the willful reasoning of its original Creator, Whom I call the Lord God."
[...]
Newton attributed his [scientific] insights to his efforts in translating the Bible: "Amongst the Interpreters of the last age there is scarce one of note who hath not made some discovery worth knowing; and thence seem to gather that God is about opening these mysteries."[2]"
The above is from Conservapaedia. Even the craziest YEC fundies think you go too far in calling Newton a liar.
It's too late for me. You can't really become ignorant, can you? I already know about evolution, global climate change, gravity, social studies, history, etc.
I don't know that much about what Einstein did, but I don't doubt that it is valid and sound.
"it is actually good to be "ignorant" and not be indocritnated into the teachings of this word "
Freudian typo of the year, so far...

'So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.'
'What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.'

'Cogito ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am)
-Rene Descartes.
Fundamentalist Christianity: psychological lobotomisation.
No thanks. I like to think for myself.
Sophomoric poe is sophomoric.
On a side note, I love how the military-industrial conservitards bash John Maynard Keynes while taking with both hands from the economic system he identified. Some of us have noticed who gets the money.
But, if Darwin's theories were lies -- wouldn't we atheists be ignorant for believing it? And if it's actually good to be "ignorant," we should all believe in evolution! Thanks FJW for saying we shouldn't believe in Christianity.
@ Fedup
Someone please explain to me why the Origin of Species is such an important issue to those who have never bothered to read it
Someone please explain to me why the Bible is such an important issue to those who have never bothered to read it.
I work with a fundy who has only ever read Revelation.

"Good. Keep thinking like that. Some day, our kids are going to need your kids to wash their cars and mow their lawns."
And those burgers aren't going to flip themselves, neither!
Ah, yes, ignorance is bliss... until you need to actually DO something such as cure a disease or build something more complicated than a mud hut.
Curious that Einstein and Newton are said to have multiple lies, but Keynes only lied once.
Reading this in context, it seems clear that "following Jesus word" is a Poe who is actually mocking the fundies.
Makes me wonder, if the FSTDT admin staff bothered to read submitted quotes in context and only front-paged those that are clearly NOT Poes/trolls/satire, would we have ANYTHING left to comment on?
People like this are really scary. Some of these idiots are going to run for president in '12, and some of them are running for '10 mid-term. We are in very deep trouble, if they take over. this country will be doomed.
it is actually good to be "ignorant" and not be indocritnated into the teachings of this word, called the KJV Bible & fundy 'Christianity'.
the lie of Paul Hill has sent many to hell! it is starting to get exposed for what it is by people you call "atheists". Also,the lie of Robertson aka 'women are subservient to men also got exposed a long time ago! in fact it won't be long before the lies of Dobson & Roy Lessin (children deserve regular whippings) and Phelps ,and the lies of Ann C&*ter are exposed for what they are as well !!!
FIXED.
This one gets originality points. At least the dipshit comes out and embraces ignorance and ties it with religious falsehoods rathern than the usual fundie routine of pretending it's something else...and cloaking it with religious falsehoods.
And if ignorance is so good, then how did slavery, disenfranchisement of women, Jim Crow laws, and brutal industrial working conditions go away? Or do you want them back?
Poe, nobody this stupid knows who John Maynard Keynes is.
And say what you will about the justice of his economic prescriptions they are testable and have worked wherever done properly.
Pay men to dig holes and fill 'em again!
I'm sorry to say that there is a subset of fundie nutters who trash Newton. These are Answers in Genesis types who really do believe the Earth is flat and the sky is a big bowl overhead. The thing here that makes me suspect a Poe is the mention of Keynes- not generally a name that trips off the fundie tongue, though of course they would hate his liberalism and bisexuality.
Newton? Really, NEWTON? I'd say fake, except the lack of command of English is too perfect. It's just gibberish enough to be real.
A true Poe: completely impossible to tell.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
