Religion The Universe of American Shoppers

Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 8:52 AM

Many of today's shoppers actually believe an ape did all of this...

NASA

These people really have it in their heads that this came from the mind of an ape. Think about it: These people are actually convinced that without this ape, none of it would be. And most amazing of all, the reason why what we see in the image taken by Hubble exists is for the moral development of one of the four great apes on one of eight planets that constitute one of billions of solar systems in one of billions of galaxies in possibly one of billions of universes.

As asinine as Christianity is, I've yet to meet a christian who believes god is an ape. Actually, the notion that man is an ape is very offensive to those who believe, so I'm pretty certain that they don't believe this was all created by an ape of any kind, including human. Your argument is undercut by the unnecessary insult.

@2: True. Still, it's a funny word, ape.

Yes, but you see it makes sense because the ape had magic powers. Don't fuck with magic apes.

BTW Charles, did you see the "roving" planet without a star? Just looking for a place to call home.

Pot, kettle.

The shoppers' ancestors had a hypothesis about creation. All evidence is against it and none in support of it. They endure. Marx had a number of hypotheses. All evidence has been against them and none in support of them. They endure. God of the gaps meet political/economic philosopher of the gaps.

Which religious folks refer to their god as an ape? Not Christians.
