Oh no, no criticism, just open public mocking, but no criticism. That quote is astoundingly ignorant.

There is some mocking, for obvious reasons, but that's not the same as real criticism.

Religion was pretty much off limits most of my life. You didn't criticize beliefs. I think the gloves started coming off over creationism. Bringing superstitious ignorance into the science class was going way over the line and that opened up religion to a lot of push back.

Who tells a baby in the womb to turn and face head down so that it's ready for delivery at 30 weeks?
I swear I've tried to find that person who runs around telling all expectant mothers this but I haven't been able to.

In America, in the last 50 years, religion has been widely criticized. Leftist political beliefs are sheltered to a much greater degree.

God comes down and whispers in the baby's ear and says hey you'll get stuck unless you turn over. Duh. God get's lazy sometimes though. I had to push a baby back up one time to turn him. God must have been smiting some fornicators or something but I was there to fill in luckily.

It's a logical question. Do you know?

It's a logical question. Do you know? Yes, I do. No one. What language would the person be speaking that a fetus would understand when being told to turn over? Try telling a baby to turn over and see what that gets you.

I guess it's just another one of those happenstance.
Remarkable isn't it.

There are a ton of almost perfect happenstances in the world we live in, that takes a ton of faith to believe it “just happenedâ€, yet leave it to my good friend Pitch to continue to beat the dead horse that is Greg Locke.
Iirc Iâ€d put up Bernie sanders as the atheistic representative and bash atheists all the time for his lunacy.
No longer GroupThink 'woke'. but it was fun while it lasted.
