+shadowlesswarrior The good news is Carson is basically just entertainment (creepy entertainment). None of those Republican yahoos have a chance of getting the majority of popular or electoral votes in a national election. It's just popcorn stuff (rancid popcorn).

I never understood religious people who have religious stuff in their bathrooms. Are you praying while taking a dump? Reading the 10 Commandments while doing manscaping? Or making eye contact with Jesus while rubbing one out? It's all very strange.
I find this guy hilarious. It’s jokes, sarcasm, mixed truth with the opposite. I’m an Adventist. Free speech say what you like, believe what you want. Do research for yourself. Keep up the good work Bill.
As a Christian, I agree. I don't understand why some are so obsessed with the End Times. And I hope it doesn't happen for decades to come. World's a beautiful place, doesn't need to end.
+Jordan Wendt He said, giving no reason, cause the only one he could think of (I would look silly if I admitted my fault after all these years of preaching stupid shit) didn't hold up to his ego.
+Jordan Wendt The King James version of the New Testament was completed in 1611 by 8 members of the Church of England. There were (and still are) no original texts to translate. The oldest manuscripts we have were written down hundreds of years after the last apostle died. There are over 8,000 of these old manuscripts, with no two alike. The King James translators used none of these anyway. Instead, they edited previous translations to create a version their king and parliament would approve. So, 21st Century Christians believe the "Word of God" is a book edited in the 17th century from 16th century translations of 8,000 contradictory copies of 4th century scrolls that claim to be copies of lost letters written in the 1st century. That's not faith. That's insanity.

When you have blatant personal views that are DIAMETRICALLY opposed to the job you have, as in the case of those Senate group LEADERS, shouldn't that disqualify you from the frigging job?
that's the thing, if you ask them if their religious beliefs form their decisions the answer should be 'no'. to maintain the division between church and state in the constitution they are sworn to uphold, so being the good Christians they are will LIE about their decision making when it's all quite obvious their Bible tells them so.
Thank you Bill, for reminding me I am not alone in the fear I have had since childhood. Even then, looking up at the churches surrounding me (I live in Salt Lake City), I wondered, "What will happen to our world, when the people running everything think it was thrown together in 7 days? When they beleive that mother nature is just a side bitch and we can always get a new one?" I was infuriated by this, and still am. By the time I was 12 I was a steaming short-stack of cynicism and contempt. I've become more complacent with age, but my concern for the environment may be the one priority (aside from my family) that has remained constant all these years. Yes you can be a prick at times, but I want to personally thank you for raising awareness for important issues like this, and doing it in a way that's interesting enough for even the most incapacitated viewer to absorb and remember the next day. Your forever loyal friend, Aubri
Not even close. We have people from all walks of life. If you're thinking of Mormons, they currently make up less than 40% of the Capitol city's population (and dropping). (=
Alright, if they think prayer is better than actual healthcare, how about next time they get sick and/or injured, they pray instead of going to the hospital? If they think it will work for us, then it will surely work for them too right?
If you have to use your religion as an excuse to be good willed, you aren't good willed. You should help people out of the kindness of you're heart, not because God said to, and would reward you with Heaven. You shouldn't rape because God said. You shouldn't rape because you shouldn't rape. Stop being a child. Parents reward their children for good behavior. Quit expecting an award and just be satisfied that you helped someone in the world and made their life a little better by doing it. Isn't that enough?
+Jean-Luc Maske-Stockdale You just hit on one of my biggest pet peeves. If someone needs a god or goddess to tell them how to act, I'm staying the hell away from them. I don't need any mythical deities to tell me killing is bad and helping others is good.
+Jean-Luc Maske-Stockdale I'm agnostic, I do believe in some religious stuff, but I never do the right thing just because I think there will be a beam of light to take me to "heaven" someday. That's why I agree with you. What I don't like about a lot of religious people is that they say "I'm a christian" but then go like "I would love to shoot this mother f*cker in the face... BUT I won't do it cuz Jesus will send me to hell" or "Oh crap, it's sunday, I got to go to the church". So bottom line... you're totally right. People don't need be to good just because they have to. They should be good because they want to and because its the right thing to do.
+Jean-Luc Maske-Stockdale I am not religious. The people I have met who claim they are religious are extremely hateful. The three Catholic friends STILL blame the Jews for killing Jesus. How insane is that? One owns a business and would not hire a Jew for that reason. Two priests in my city raped boys under the age of 11 for years. When it was finally revealed one was moved to the Vatican (years ago) and the other went to another diocese. The Nazis were religious. There has been more harm done in the name of religion than in secularism.
+Jean-Luc Maske-Stockdale Agreed. Anybody who has to be threatened will hell before they don't kill somebody isn't actually a good person. What they are is a single crisis of faith away from becoming the next Ed Gein or Jeffrey Dahmer.
God said he wouldn’t flood the planet again, he said nothing about preventing us from causing one or helping us when it happens. It’s on humanity to solve our own problems.

I was following everything bill said until 6:53 ... I can list several reasons.. good reasons why we all shouldn’t be wearing pants. Unless we’re sharing them bill (:
I honestly don't think apocalyptic beliefs are the reason that so little gets done -- that's giving politicians too much credit -- but I'd be interested to find out more.
Ben Carson believes god guides his hands during surgery. But he never explains why god creates, for instance, conjoined twins at the head, in the first place. His god is either evil, a practical joker, or doesn't exist.
All those rich so-called Christians have a ready-made excuse for not spending money on anything that might help poor people don't they? No point (same reason given for not sterilising needles in Mother Teresa's " hospital"). The bottom line always is: Heaven forfend that they should have to pay their taxes.
Minor correction to what Bill says here. 7 Day adventists have tried very hard (With not too much success) to distant themselves from their millenarianist roots. They gave up predicting the end times way back, so that's not what they stand for now. But I still agree with his point.
+CraftKitty - It's a technicality, really... "That's right, the real Winnie the Pooh is actually a girl.

Being a Baha'i, I knew about the Millerites, but was not aware that they were related to the Seventh Day Adventists. Some wikipedia-sourced knowledge on what happened when the world didn't end: 1. The Great Disappointment is a general term for Jesus not coming, not a term specifically used by Seventh Day Adventists. 2. The group isn't based around Miller (the guy who said the world would end/Jesus would come). They agree with him that the Bible verses he looked at were referring to that day, but it was basically them saying "Well that religion didn't work out. What should we do now?"
Alot of the Christian beliefs your talking about are pretty unique to America. The book of revelation isn't seen by most European Christians as either literal or soon and the Rapture thing is totally American
Yes, the original Winnie the Bear was female. More than that, Winnie is short for Winnipeg. However, Winnie the Pooh is/remains male. Lastly, really, how is this news? Of course the original Winnie was female, it's amazing people are treating this like a revelation.
