Today's outrage, or What world do you live in?

[kinzel]

I thought, once upon a time, while I was growing up, that science was bringing a clearer and more accurate understanding of the world -- which would also improve lives. That's what I thought.

And so within recent memory not only do the likes of Pat Robertson prey on the ignorant via hurricane control,

but:

Magical properties of some people's bodies make them worth using as potions:

Sin causes earthquakes:

And sustainable lifestyles are a threat to us all ...

"My friends, we are now facing a Gay-Green threat: Homosexual activists who also seek to limit carbon emissions and promote recycling, as well as a sustainable lifestyle! ..."

Some days, coffee is not enough to wash away the world.

With regard to Wittenburgdoor, I'd advise ignoring him and not giving him the attention he apparently craves except ... except that was the advice that rational German intellectuals gave each other about Hitler, saying that he was too irrational, too virulent, too strident to be taken seriously. Not to raise a bug-a-boo, but Hitler also ranted about the godless groups of individuals that should be eradicated for the purity of the race - and gays were among those he targeted.

I am amazed, bemused and very puzzled, however that the person reponsible for Wittenburgdoor is targeting recycling and responsible care for the environment. Since he loudly proclaims his Christianity, I wonder where he was during the parables about the good steward?

While I disagree with nearly everything Dr. Dobson has to say, I need to point out that the linked piece is satirical and was not written by James Dobson. It is a spoof — and like good spoofs almost believable — but is no more substantive than anything produced by The Onion.

Yup. If you check, the story has a byline, and it's *not* Dobson. ("By John Green").
