Learned something new today. The Isle of Patmos, where John supposedly spent exile writing the book of Revelation, is home to an ubiquitous hallucinogen.

The book of Revelation could very well be him describing his Gigantic Trip.

Typos aside, this is a good thing and it's exactly why religious conservatives fear science and sex being taught in the classroom.

They don't believe in the bible or in religion, but they believe in horoscopes, and that getting even with someone is defensible.

It's different, I'll agree, although I'll withhold judgment on whether it's an improvement.
 
Additionally, 43% of millennials stated they either don’t know, don’t care or don’t believe God exists ... and 44% of millennials believe Satan is a real and influential ...

Can I get a Venn diagram of those stats?
One could assume they are disparate and disconnected groups*, but it would be fun to see if some believe in one and not the other.


*Meaning blithely and blindly assume 43% no God (and by extension no Satan); and, 44% is Satan (and by extension is God).

Yeah, I was like "Yay! Kids getting smarter enough to see through the god bullsh-- oh, Ouija boards, that's just great."

On the other hand, Ouija boards do not systematically hide and move pedophile priests to avoid consequences...so there may be trade off for a lesser evil.

I noticed they conveniently left the exact numbers out of this paragraph:

The study also found that overall, younger Americans are significantly more likely than the two previous generations to embrace horoscopes as a guide and Karma as a life principle, to see “getting even” with others as defensible, to accept evolution over creation, and to view owning property as fostering economic injustice.

So 2% believe in horoscopes instead of 1%? Big whoop, since horoscopes are about as accurate as major world religions at predicting the future. It's all bullsh*t anyway.

And sometimes getting even is defensible, especially when laws were broken and the justice system is properly involved.

I will give astrology followers credit for one thing: I've never heard someone tell me "I'm opposed to you existing and having the same rights I do because I'm a Leo."

The part I liked was “to view owning property as fostering economic injustice.” As if owning property (ie being rich) is somehow a Christian value. No, dipshits, that’s a modern right wing value that dovetails with other right wing values of MY right to do whatever *I* want. Mine, mine, mine. See also: prosperity gospel.

The real Jesus, if he existed, would damn you to hell.
