The virtual wallet on your phone. :)

I’d like to take a moment and acknowledge one of the myriad ironies of the republican base, many of whom identify as biblical literalists. God is good, God is love. God literally created the earth over the course of six days and made every living thing. He sent his only begotten son to earth, and in doing so…

Well at least your lobotomy would have been free in Canada.

Yes. He has a valid point. It just tends to lean towards condescending and maybe even a little bit evil. He’s pointing out that gravity exists, and recusing himself from the fact that you might not be able to afford a parachute.

I think that most of us understood the broader issue he was getting at. - You are on your own. If you’re a low income pleb, you’ll need to come to terms with the fact that you aren’t deserving of items that many would consider standard fare. You don’t merit the care that every other first world country accepts as a…

“and knowing ghosts don’t exist, yet at times still feeling that they do because imagination is real.”

So. You're relying on a simplified high-school definition of evolution, while simultaneously claiming to refute the logic of those who have actually studied it and advanced the field. From where do you get your information on probability and the nature of mutation? You seem to be ignoring the enormity of geological…

I think it's the public nature of the complaints that's most irritating. Simultaneously announcing a windfall, while bemoaning your benefactor without a shred of embarrassment. What we really need is more guns.

Attention: this is indeed satire:

Yes, I think you're right.

Thanks, very much. :)

I appreciated your thoughtful reply, but I had intended this as satire; specifically relating to an io9 piece published earlier this year. I suppose you could consider it a poe.

Yes, our Lord Satan commands that His acolytes be scientifically literate. His ultimate plan is to rid the world of ignorance and stupidity in order that a paradise be created on earth. We will one day overthrow Elohim and rule the heavens themselves. Mwha haha.

Pure satire. In reference to another article featured by io9 critical of smug atheism.

I hope you realize this is satire in reference to another io9 article.

The more I tried to make it appear an obvious parody, the more it appeared to be the genuine article. It really is an uncanny process.

Yes, it is. Based on a io9 article critical of atheism.

Why Smug Evolutionists Should Read More Science Fiction

I think this is a bit misleading, and the potential implications born out have not been explored in the comments. For instance: Is an entire universe being simulated? From inception, to heat death? Is it being deliberately fine tuned with life, or specifically us in mind? Is the focus us the study cosmological…

Yes, we called it Auschwitz.
