But how are you going to feel smarter than everyone else, if everyone gets convinced by your conspiracy theory?

This is so Carl Sagan.

And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”

...

And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.

Man this shit infuriates me to no end. Why?!

Oh fuck you just corrupted the fuck out of me. What in actual fuck is wrong with you, writing that on the Internet where people can read it?

to the Maker of all GloboHomos:-)

I really (don't) enjoy that this is what needs censoring about this post, to get popular social media to spread it around.

God couldn't possibly be mad at them. Despite doing the opposite of many things Jesus taught, they must be right. The man on the big stage at the hundred-million dollar church told them so.

Better to identify them. ;)

I thought globohomo was an alternate name for corporate Memphis?

Does this mean that my insurance company won't consider them acts of god anymore and will actually cover them?

You gotta fuck a tree.

I hope they bring enough body oil this time. Last year the budget was blown on chemtrails and ketamine. I was chafing SO bad during the gay satanic orgy

Is it really a punishment if they asked for it?

It just sounds sarcastic to me.

Its satire...
