I keep watching and watching. It has a Howard Stern effect on me. I keep listening to find out what he's going to say next. I'm almost hypnotized from the bullsh¡t.
30% for me, but IQ doesn't work my percentages. A guy with an IQ of 150 isn't twice as smart as a guy with an IQ of 75. IQ is defined by a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 for the general human population, assumed to follow a standard normal curve.
i grew up being taught this garbage. my parents still believe it
i got as far as him saying evolutionists believe we came from rocks, that such an idea is ridiculous, and we should believe an invisble man in the sky made us out of nothing.
20 years of that crap i had, still creeps me out.

i agree with u that some americans are pretty dumb, but there are plenty of smart ones too. it's not the americans too blame, but christianity. it causes this nonsense. but i agree with u about the bush comment. i simply cannot bleieve that americans vote for someone that doesn't believe in science.
im not sure who i should point and laugh at the most: people like those in the video, or those that are so shocked and threatened by that type.
Eheh, bit extremist arent we ForumMaster ?
And OP, while t's true there's lots of weirdos in America.... I really think they are a small minority. It's just that they are so interesting to watch, the popular media can't help but portray more of it than usual.
One can't base one's understanding of a country only on the images one sees on tv or reads in the news. If so, Israel is filled with explosions everyday, Taiwan is always having elections, Korea is always rioting, China is starving, etc.
Btw, Denmark is where the anti-muslim cartoons came out, so if I base my judgement solely on what I read in the news, I'm going to think your country is filled with bigots who hate muslims and are intolerant towards other religions (now doesnt that sound just like your assumption of america?)

The Bible is full of stories with very good moral themes. While I believe that the Son of God lived 2000 years ago and rose from the dead, a good chunk of what we call the Bible today is just a bunch of stories to teach very important lessons about life.

Nice try. Tell you what, I just got paid for a job, so I'll put $500 on a little wager. You come take a sanctioned IQ test with me, winner takes all.
Yeah, it's entertaining. I liked the pink and blue dinosaurs. The trouble with modern Protestant theology, however, is that it's watered down in favor of appealing to audiences. There's rarely any challenge of difficult life reformation or anything like that. Most of it is happy-go-lucky... you're saved, and that's it. You don't have to earn it or anything.
People listen to what they want to hear. Preachers are not paid to preach a standard doctrine but rather are paid by the number of people they can draw into their churches, so it's quite beneficial to them to say what people want to hear.
People who can't understand science want to hear that science isn't important anyway.
Dude... it's a joke. Get over yourself.
For all I know, your really could have a 150+ IQ... I've met quite a few people in my travels who do but like you have a problem with not grasping reality.
I am fairly smart (am Mensa eligible), but I'm not naive enough to honestly think that there couldn't be some blithering yahoo out there who could best me on an IQ test. Not saying that you necessarily would... but I, unlike people of your ilk, actually like to be open minded about things instead of only pretending to be open-minded.

Wow the ignorance and geocentricity is strong with this one, a bit ironic as these are attributes that the rest of the world often attributes to "that hegemony" At any rate it's a load of crap, but in America people are free to believe what they wish, no matter how stupid it may be.
Do you contend that one cannot be both a man of science and a man of God? Further, is it your position that the two are mutually exclusive?
You just said that there are 500 in Denmark, if you are so enlightened, why are there 500 of them? Do you know the definition of the word contradiction? It's clear that you are a little out of your league here...
Why do you feel like you have to blame Christians for what he's saying? It has nothing to do with Christianity, but has to do with stupid people. There are stupid people of all religions (atheism included as a religion), races and origins that believe in all sorts of stupid shvt. You can blame "Christians" if all the crap he's claiming is in the New Testament. But then again maybe you're just mad that the Bible says your entire lifestlye is a sin? But it's been that belief by 99% of humans throughout history until like 20 years ago.
Yea, let's blame the Christians for something Christ didn't teach...
