Santa/God

I know it's not Giftmas time, but this just came to me in the last couple days.

For me believing in God is no different than believing in Santa...They are both supposed to live in areas filled with white fluffiness, wear white beards, have tons of helpers, know who's naughty/nice then reward you appropriately and are mythical man-made constructs used to get people to 'be good for goodness sake".

Santorum on Satan

This is just a part of some comments he made in regards to what he sees as an attack on the U.S. by Satan. He goes after higher education first then goes on from there to churches and government..I think it's a prime example of just how he wants to undermine education in the U.S. 

"This is not a political war at all. This is not a cultural war at all. This is a spiritual war. And the father of lies has his sights on what you would…

I came across this quote and had to share it.

My fundie cousin is one of those young Earthers who subsequently doesn't believe in evolution (Her words "No!! God created us....we are not evolved apes."). She's also into the whole build your immune system and you'll never get sick hype.
