First there was there was Joe Wilson shouting at the president on national TV, then there was the tea party people bitching about the country becoming communist/socialist/fascist, and now there’s this.
Creation, starring Paul Bettany, details Darwin’s “struggle between faith and reason” as he wrote On The Origin of Species. It depicts him as a man who loses faith in God following the death of his beloved 10-year-old daughter, Annie.
The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British premiere on Sunday. It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.
However, US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution.
That’s right. Americans can watch movies about Hitler getting shot in the face 57 times, a little girl who is conceived so her parents can harvest her bone marrow, a movie glorifying the mafia, giant robots destroying everything, zombies eating people, talking rodents, a 100-year-old pedifile that drinks blood, and Jesus Christ getting tortured for 2 fucking hours. But a movie depecting the life of a scientist that gave the world the theory of evolution is too controversial.
Where’s the fucking logic in that? How can Americans approve of Sharon Stone flashing her pussy on a large screen and stabbing everyone with an ice pick, but deny a movie about Charles Darwin telling the world about evolution and natural selection?
Jesus Christ, I’m sick of all the retarded white fuckers in this country making the rest of us look bad. Everyone in the world looks at the United States has backward ultra-religious asshats that hate science because we believe in an imaginary man in the sky that created everything.
Fuck, now I know how black people feel when everyone assumes they’re gangstas and/or thugs.

@businessclix: oh my god, please don’t! the only thing worse than a conservative evangelical christian is a conservative evangelical christian with a self-martyrdom-complex.
@PhP: i think the solution is to ban Gallup polling. who decided that it was a good idea to ask these people what they think about anything? that’s like polling a bunch of christian scientists on whether they prefer tylenol or advil…
Phuck Politics says:
@Businessclix – I’m with cft on this one. We don’t need Christians talking about how bad they’ve got it. Now if you wanted to tax the nearest church, then I’d be all for that.
@Zirgar – Yep, but that’s America for you.
@Cft – Or instead of banning polling we should start sterilizing stupid people.

Galileo said..”I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us sense,reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use”
Well that lucky bastard had obviously not encountered the born again whacko brigade.
Phuck Politics says:
@Rory – I don’t know man, Galileo was put on house arrest after he discovered the earth revolves around the sun. If that doesn’t sound like the born again whacko brigade I don’t know what does.

A quick look at the words on your dollar bill tells it all. I do have ‘faith’ however that those of us outside your borders know that there are plenty of sentient human beings that live between N.Y.C and L.A, it’s just that the wackos make so much noise!
Phuck Politics says:
@Troy – Yep, the wackos are making all the noise. And it’s got me thinking…is it like this everywhere in the world?
