Repeal blasphemy laws: David Nash and Austin Dacey with Atheist Ireland chairman Michael Nugent Is anything sacred? A discussion of Irish and international blasphemy laws, organised by Atheist Ireland on Sunday 29 January 2012.

Two days after the meeting, Prof. Nash and Atheist Ireland met with senior politicians at the Oireachtas, an event organised by Sen. Ivana Bacik, Reid Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology and Penology at Trinity College Dublin, to brief them about the negative international implications for Ireland if the law fails to be repealed.

Fundies Say the Darndest Things!

Prophet Elisabeth Elijah Nikomia, Amightywind

The greatest mockery of MY Name yet will be done by Ellen DeGeneres by the ultimate blasphemy to portray I, YAHUVEH, the God of Creation. She will pay with her soul for this and all those that take part in this film. I, YAHUVEH, will send forth MY wrath on those that call themselves the greatest to the least. This includes not only the Studio, Producers, Script Writers, Actors, wardrobe, caterers; make up artists, even the stand-in actors and actresses. I, YAHUVEH, will pour out MY Wrath on even the State this is filmed in. I, YAHUVEH, warn any advertiser I, YAHUVEH, will command MY Babies, Bride, Chosen Ones and Elect as well even those who do not serve nor obey MY Holy Word but know there is a God YAHUVEH to fear, to protest and boycott your products.

A woman named Ellen Degeneres will openly mock ME, portraying to be Almighty God. Ellen Degenerate She is not only openly gay but she is the first in America to be embraced by the White House which included the President of the U.S.A., as they held a dinner for her and her same sex partner she claims to have married. I, YAHUVEH, call Ellen DeGeneres, Ellen Degenerate. She is reprobate and knows no shame as she is rewarded by satan with fortune and fame for she was the first to claim same sex marriage and knows no shame and is proud of her name. Start protesting and boycotting and warning all who will listen anyone that watches this film and listens to her mock I, YAHUVEH, and does not protest in fear will reap what she will sow.

I prophesied through MY Daughter Elisabeth, and that prophecy has been posted for years now for all to read [Prophecy 20], Ellen DeGeneres spoon fed the children and people the spirit of homosexuality while laughing about it. Because of this I, YAHUVEH, prophesied she would be the first to taste the Boiling Black Blood Plague when she will beg to die as black blood will spew from her mouth. All the sexually immoral will suffer this end time plague. I, YAHUVEH, prophesied this through this handmaiden of MINE because I knew what Ellen DeGeneres' master satan would have her do and that is to mock the Creator of all Creation.

Tony Perkins, The Raw Story

Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council — a hate group, according the the Southern Poverty Law Center — took to the radio to denounce Bioware’s Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game.

“In a new Star Wars game, the biggest threat to the empire may be homosexual activists!” Perkins announced during his daily radio commentary. “In a galaxy not so far far away, Star Wars gamers have already gone to the dark side. The new video game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, has added a special feature: gay relationships.”

“That surprised a lot of gamers, since Bioware had made it clear in 2009 that ‘gay’ and ‘lesbian’ don’t exist in the Star Wars universe. Since the announcement, homosexuals have been celebrating the news, but parents sure aren’t.”

He continued: “On the game’s website, there are more than 300 pages of comments–a lot of them expressing anger that their kids will be exposed to this Star Warped way of thinking. You can join them by logging on and speaking up. It’s time to show companies who the Force is really with!”

The Absence of Transitional Forms
This is one of the most potent arguments against evolution I have ever come across. It has never, to my knowledge, been effectively countered by any evolutionist.

Basically the evolutionist believes that transitional forms happen "all the time" throughout history. So we don't actually need to look at fossil records to establish evolution - all we need to do is LOOK AROUND US and OBSERVE all the billions of transitional forms and species which - according to the evolutionist - should be running about the day. Since, according to the evolutionist, change is slow and gradual, then we be able to observe many forms which things like three legs, half a fin, one wing, etc.

So why can't we see them? Did evolution grind to a sudden halt over the past 150 years since Darwin declared its existence? That would be a bit odd, would it not???!!!

So, evolutionists, show me the evidence. Who needs to concern themselves with the fossil record when according to your own THEORY transitional entities should be ALL AROUND US - walking, swimming, crawling or flying.
