What a shock.

Yahoo news story:   STATES WITH THE MOST COUCH POTATOES.

http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/112390/states-most-couch-potatoes

All Southern RED (Republican) states.   Big surprise?

Unfortunately, these states are probably the most uneducated and misinformed as well.

As long as they got their beer, guns, and god, along with Foxnews to do their thinking for them, they're happy.

ALIENS EXIST! Now's there more proof.

I have felt for a long time in my heart and my mind that extra terrestrial life was out there, and that it ranges from microbial organisms to a far more advanced civilization that human life here on earth.  As soon as I learned about the universe and how big it was, it just seemed obvious to me.   To this day I still can't figure out how [mostly religious] adults can be so ignorant to something that was so obvious to me as a child.

Fact:
There are approximately 200 billion stars in just our Milky Way Galaxy. Our Sun is one of those stars, with orbiting planets, making up our solar system.  Almost every star has it's own solar system of planets orbiting around it.   
There's at least 200 billion galaxies, similar to the Milky Way.  So, the number of stars in the universe is 200 billion times 200 billion. That's 4 with 22 zeros. This number is hard for the average mind to conceive, but here it is:  40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
You'd have to be extremely arrogant to think that we are alone in the universe. 
Even if only 1 percent of that large number of stars had planets that could harbor life, that's still 4 followed by 20 zeros. So, the universe has to be full of various life forms, from small organisms to complex life that could be millions of years ahead of us.

Lunacy

Let's give Beck more attention.   It's an interesting article anyway.   (link below)
He's like a train wreck, that's why he's still on TV.  He's nothing more than an entertainer, at best.
His uninformed, unintelligent crazy rants appeal to uninformed unintelligent people, which unfortunately is a huge chunk of the American population.
Instead of spreading of love, like Jesus would do…Beck spreads hate, anger and bigotry.  Typical of a lot of born again Christians.

Thank god I'm an Atheist.

REALLY??

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_alabama_governor_christians


Yahoo News Story:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley told a church crowd just moments into his new administration that those who have not accepted Jesus as their savior are not his brothers and sisters, shocking some critics who questioned Tuesday whether he can be fair to non-Christians.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My two cents:
Really??   It's people, like this scumbag, in politics that will always keep the human race from evolving into a better species. Doesn't this prejudice bigot realize the world is filled with all different kinds of people with different beliefs. I don't subscribe to any religion; it's all ancient mythology to me. The future is science, not religion. When will more people start believing in themselves?! It's too bad that there are still so many people dependent on ancient magic to get them thru their day. But, I would never say that any one who isn't an atheist isn't my friend. This Bentley guy needs to be kicked out of office asap.

More Cool Science News…Saturns rings.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_sci_saturn_rings

Science is amazing.   The science community is about constant education and asking questions.  Science advances knowledge, unlike religion, which prefers you to be a dumb sheep.

I love yahoo articles like this, because you get to learn about a new scientific theory and also you get to laugh at all the ridiculous comments left by the religious lunatics.

If there was any truth to religion there wouldn't be about a million different offshoots of the christian religion.  Religion and god(s) were invented to gain control over people.--and it was very easy to do in ancient civilizations because they didn't have science to explain things like volcanoes or thunder and lightning, so they could say it must be the angry god(s)!!   Yikes, you better give us some money to save your soul, and we'll protect you.  It's amazing people still fall for this ancient garbage.
I guess some people need something powerful to believe in to get them thru their day.  It's sad really.
 
What's wrong with believing in yourself and other people?
