Charles Darwin film 'too controversial for religious AmericaFollow

I will rate you down so hard the red arrow will fall off my screen and you will die.

You know he's sitting in his dreadfully civilized tent with his thin china teacup and his silly bush hat and monocle, trembling because the drums have just stopped.

Oh for fucks sake!

I'm taking the **** you silly cow.

We've got more than our fair share of stupid god-botherers, racists, sexists, child bashers/fuckers, talk radio twats and other assorted dimwits who live, fight and fuck at the bottom of our pond too.

You arn't the one country with a monopoly on fuckwits, we all have plenty of them.

On the other hand, the US is the one notable place that bangs on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, about how fucking progressive you are, how we should all look to you as the pinnacle of civilisation, and are more than happy about spreading the 'American way of life', around the world, whether in a fast food wrapper, or compliments of an unmanned drone, or via your wtf crap television. So, expect to have the contradictions pointed out. Especially from non americans. And especially especially in the Arsylum.....

And I grew up in the town Darwin was born in. So I'm on his side.

1. "Not black enough" Really, that's your platform?

2. Obama wasn't running against Bush, he was running against McCain.

The rest: Utter garbage, way to miss the entire game of politics.

And frankly, this whole discussion is incredibly asinine. Paraphrasing: Your moooore racist, Nuh uh, youuuuuur more racist. You hate liiiike black people, No Yooou hate black people.

The **** are you, 5?

America is worse than North Korea, chaps.

N. Korea does do a better job at keeping its southern neighbors out...

Who? I haven't met alot of Americans that consider our country progressive.

Didn't really have to do it for you, you know. There's an entire book on it.

Jingoism is always funny.

People aren't ignorant because they point out a fact you don't like or don't understand.

The point being made was that any candidate from any party would have won against McCain that night, such was the loathing for the Bush administration and everything associated with it. A task made even easier by the fact he had as his running mate a woman that made Bush look like a limp wristed lefty.

Obama getting elected was no demonstration of a great racial enlightenment of the US public, as was being made out, but of the simple universal fact that if you happen to be in the right place at the right time you can get a break.

Beautiful! Sigworthy at least if my sig weren't so ironically perfect already, that is...


Not being one to cruise the far reaches of the Christian online world, I can't speak directly for the fringe crowd, but I suspect that there's a bit of one-sidedness to this story. Darwin in no way attempted nor argued against a divine creation. What many creationists are most opposed to is not the evolutionary concepts as Darwin developed them, but how they have been extended over time and used as an assault on religious belief.


Let's be honest here. A film about Darwin titled "Creation" is kind of a dead giveaway that there's going to be quite a bit of anti-creationism in the film. The bit in the article seems to focus on Darwin as a man who "lost his faith", yet there's no evidence of this in his life. It's amusing to see atheists attempt to hold up Darwin as some kind of model, when he himself specifically rejected the idea of atheism, but it hasn't stopped them.

Frankly, it's not surprising that religious folks might not like this film, and it's not purely because of backwards thinking. There's quite a bit of twisting of history to meet current convenience going on here.

Like a scheduled train crash, you might say?

You mean like the economy? Precisely.
