The Cult of Ron Paul

Tha Lord

How did Ron Paul get such a crowd of unquestioning followers?  It is as if his proponents view him as the messiah.  How any thinking person could vote for a man that doesn’t believe in evolution and separation of church and state is well beyond rational thought.

    Does he believe in Germ Theory?  How about the theory of gravity?

      as I look at the worlds state of affairs it is becoming more and more likely that gravity indeed does not exist. It’s starting to look as if the Earth just sucks.

    Funny that you would criticize the one GOP candidate that is least likely to try to merge church and state.

      I’ve criticized most of the conservative candidates.

    “Well, first i thought it was a very inappropriate question, you know,
    for the presidency to be decided on a scientific matter,” he said. “I
    think it’s a theory…the theory of evolution and I don’t accept it as a
    theory. But I think the creator that i know, you know created us, every
    one of us and created the universe and the precise time and manner and
    all. I just don’t think we’re at the point where anybody has absolute
    proof on either side.”
    Come on. He wasn’t just saying it out of nowhere, that was his response when asked specifically about the matter.

    I know Ron Paul is dead wrong about evolution and global warming, but he still has my vote because a President can do practically nothing to stop the flow of evidence supporting both of those.  Frankly, his desire to rein in government will produce far more positive results for out nation, and likely even for science as the Federal government gets out of the picture of stifling our education system.

       You should be very worried. Why vote for someone who is likely to allow religions to change your public schools curriculum and either include creationism or remove evolution as taught views. That’s just fucking stupid. Now Go pick up your bong again I think you spilled the water onto the floor heater again and now you’re being vaporized by retardation. Any of the republican candidates even if they label themselves as something else. Should all be lined up and run through a gallows. They are a complete waste of DNA.

    As much as the Cult of Ron Paul is funny as hell, I would like the point out that Creationism and Evolution are not incompatible in any way, and there is a significant possibility that the world was created by God via evolution. One such scenario (which I happen to subscribe to) is that God set in place a series of algorithms, and the patterns set in place continued to grow iteratively, and interacted with each other over billions of years to create the Universe we know today.

    There is nothing unscientific about believing in creationism, and it is not necessarily unscientific to be skeptical about evolutionism (even though there is a mountain of evidence, there is clearly quite of work to be done in validating evolution as scientific fact, and even more difficulties in determining the exact means by which evolution even began). I see no problem with Ron Paul discounting evolution as being a theory, and I highly doubt that his opinions about the nature of the Universe will impact his viability as a suitable presidential candidate.

       so you’re saying god is a mathematician? Dude face it. God is not real. I’m sorry but he isn’t. I wish that meant that your friends and family members as you were growing up weren’t delusional or intentionally malicious, but If you ended up believing in that fairytale bullshit, it’s obvious they were.

     first of all, I don’t believe God is a mathematician, I believe that God *is* Math, or more accurately, Mathematics is the human conception of God’s character. Secondly I don’t think it’s relevant whether God exists or doesn’t exist (that doesn’t matter to me), I believe in God because the belief is useful to me. 

    As good as your intentions might be in ridding the world of delusions, you’re barking of the wrong tree. I think it’s very likely that God doesn’t exist. What you aren’t getting, is that a person doesn’t have to think God actually exists to believe in him. My upbringing have nothing to do with it.

    ps. I noticed your responses to other people’s posts– stop trolling, that’s @twitter-128427013:disqus’s job.
