LINKS: creepy Burger King Xbox game, telecoms seeking illegal retroactive immunity for spying on us for the NSA

And a bunch of religious idiocy.  Religion slowed the adaptation of the lightning rod, causing thousands to die unnecessary?!?

• RELIGION: Religious people suck — and they even fought aganist the LIGHTNING ROD such that people had to SUE IN COURT to be able to put a lightning rod ON THEIR OWN HOME

  All hail Benjamin Franklin! All hail science! “Science is my God now!” In one case, a “September 11th” of people (that’s 3,000) were killed by a single lightning bolt in a church that refused to install a lightning rod. GOD IS GREAT!

• RELIGION, WAR IN IRAQ: It’s a religious war; Christians vs Muslims. Don’t you dare be athiest, or your own american fellow soldiers will threaten to kill you.

  He convened an athiest meeting, much like Christians meetings in the Army.He was retaliated against.

  He sued.

  Now he’s being threatened with being “fragged” by his fellow holy warriors.

  Just when you think the American army can’t be worse, it is.

  And that wont stop congress from passing it…
