Religious Duties
Hey religious people: You know how you’re paranoid and worried that people like me are going to come into your homes, take your children and undo your brainwashing by taking them to our science camps, turn your churches into brothels, and forbid you from worshiping your sky faerie?

The Evolution of Science
The great Bill Hicks asked, “You ever notice how people who believe in creationism, look really unevolved?” While this is funny, there is a certain truth to it. I have often said that the religious are a previous chain in our evolution. Our brains have evolved beyond superstition. Their’s haven’t. They just haven’t died out yet.
