Palin: Magic is REAL

Interviewer: Your husband was in a secession group, with the goal of making Alaska it's own separate country correct?

Palin: Jesus loves you.

Interviewer: You know how to speak in tongues and believe an invisible magic man lives in the sky, correct?

Palin: Wajagabubba guja bahguja wahchakijuababa Amen.

Keep her away from the religious nuts, they might try to exorcise her.


No way, she's speaking in tongues.

I get such massive fucking douche chills whenever it shows them speaking in tongues. It's all so fucking FAKE...

Science? Really? The results of the brain scans are mildly interesting, but hardly surprising whether you believe in "Speaking in tongues" or not. When you speak a familiar and real language, your language centers are active. When you speak gibberish (or "tongues"), your language centers are not active. Who would have expected that? Why didn't they do a study of an atheist speaking gibberish for comparison? What in the world is this supposed to prove? ABC is stretching to the breaking point here.

Also have to add that I honestly felt embarrassed watching these people. It's so foolish looking, it's like you caught someone picking their nose in public or something.

Good thing this kid is in sensible hands, could be considered speaking in tongues. Shudder to think if she was born in the deep south.

he is not mumbling.. he is speaking in tongues... bagujaboojagoojaboo hajamapoogajooo babakoo balooo... magic is real.

MINK, you expect the average American to be able to differentiate between Russia and the Ukraine? Have you ever been to the US?? Be grateful that this guy was positively identified as a citizen of a different country, and not mistaken for a guy who's speaking in tongues.

Blankfist, the line is actually "In Soviet Russia, the _blank_ _blanks_ you" which would've made everyone happy.

If this is what makes her happy then I'm all for it. The people I don't like are the ones (both Christians and Atheists) that feel the need to tell everyone else how wrong they are. If someone wants to speak in tongues and go into seizures because that is what they enjoy doing then I'm more than happy for them.

Biologist PZ Meyers, responds:

Some of the most powerful tools in genetics and molecular biology are available in fruit flies, and these are animals that are particularly amenable to experimentation. Molecular genetics has revealed that humans share key molecules, the basic developmental toolkit, with all other animals, thanks to our shared evolutionary heritage (something else the wackaloon from Wasilla denies)...

This is where the Republican party has ended up: supporting an ignorant buffoon who believes in the End Times and speaking in tongues while deriding some of the best and most successful strategies for scientific research. In this next election, we've got to choose between the 21st century rationalism and Dark Age inanity.

I know, it may make no sense. That is because I am not a true religious values voter. Thus, I have absolutely no morality and I am ultimately destined for Hell(tm). At this juncture it is pointless for me to refrain from making fun of religion. If I stop now, I am still going to Hell(tm)

If I am to suffer an eternity being tortured by the big cloven hoofed red-guy(tm) with horns and a pitch fork, I might as well go out in an intense blaze fueled by fiery brimstone, dragged tooth an nail by Beelzebub and his Quasit army into the depths of the nine hells. I suspect the Leprechauns living in the upper levels of the underworld just below my tulip patch will laugh... teary eyed... at me, as I swoop past them when the Earth opens to claim it's luscious, juicy prize.

After the first decade, both the tortured soul and the demons must become rather bored. Rather repetitive it must be to torture the same person over and over and over again. After a while it just becomes monotonous and not unlike working for the Department of Public Works. Nowhere as exciting as teaching 'Exorcism 101' at the Vatican, or 'How To Maintain 21 Virgins And Have Sex With Them Too' as taught at so many Madrassa around the Middle East.

I suspect Hell must be quite a heavily populated place. Especially with the Earth's population increasing to FAR beyond what it was 6000 years ago. A full 6.6 billion strong! Though as the entire universe is only 6000 years old, they most certainly must have planned ahead to reserve plenty of real estate. They will be fine I am certain. Considering the Earth's diameter is quite a large 12,756.1 km. As a result, we can further calculate the Earth's Volume, which is 1,097,509,500,000,000,000,000 cubic meters. Taking that into account we have PLENTY of fire and brimstone for ALL! Plenty of room in Hell(tm) I say! At least I won't be in cramped quarters. Plenty of room for a few US military bases, and a Pentecostal Church. Demons just LOVE speaking in tongues. Being forked and all, they are quite adept at the language.

Peace.

No, I say it because just about every one of your comments has something to do with insulting Christians - even on videos that have nothing to do with religion.

You really are a hateful sumbitch.
In reply to this comment by honkeytonk73:
Voter disenfranchising in the name of JEEEESUS. All for the sake of maintaining 'values voter' superiority. Christian morality at it's finest I say.


I probably should not have singled out values voters as being solely Christian. I apologize as that is wholly not fair in the least. Though those not able to speak to invisible magical friends simply have no values, so apparently they cannot be taken into consideration.
I wouldn't call myself hateful (others may and have the right to do so). Rather, I consider myself to be equally unbound by any form of deistic superstition among the hundreds which currently exist and the greater number which has existed in the past.
To elaborate, for those who have interest:
Each superstition in their own right is -entirely- correct in that they are the 'one' true faith. Everyone is correct, as it makes perfect sense. It is also politically correct to roll over and agree that everyone is equally deluded. Life is simpler that way is it not?
So now... I will now go bathe in the Lake of Fire(tm) for my sins, wherever that may be. I'll be sure to let everyone know if fire can exist in a liquid form... though I highly suspect it will be a lake of superheated plasma, rather than fire. In that case, I suspect the environment in hell is of quite high pressure.
The typical maximum pressure at which the human body can maintain life is measurable scientifically. On the other hand.. the non-corporeal 'spirit' with zero nerve endings, could potentially withstand infinite pressure. But then what would be the point? With no nerves, can one have pain? So what is the purpose of torture then? Maybe the big red horned guys just insult the damned denizens over and over again... and that is how they torture.
These are such insults I suspect I will endure in the various supposed afterlives:
"No your mother is NOT Aphrodite, I said a HERMAPHRODITE you nincompoop!"
"Your hair is as big as Tammy Fae Bakker and your eyelashes help you fly!"
"You smell like an all too lonely Arabian goat herder!"
"Your mother was a priestess of Lesbos!"
"Your real father was Pan, your momma got rammed darn good eh Mr coven hooves?"
I shall update everyone from Hell(tm) when I arrive. I hope they have broadband. Watch, one torture is to only provide a 300 baud inernet connection. Upper case text only. TRS-80 COCO!!

omfg. I didn't know she was Assembly of God.
As someone who attended their services out of curiosity for a couple years I say this in all seriousness: Be. Fucking. Afraid.

Unless you've been around them you have no idea - these people are genuinely psychotic and single mindedly =aggressive= in pursuit of their goal of helping to usher in The End Times.

Speaking in tongues, maniacally 'laughing in the spirit', flopping around on the floor, believing that gold teeth miraculously appear in their mouth; i shit you not this is Standard stuff for every sunday and wednesday service.

Again, in all seriousness, be aware these people genuinely believe the last days will occur in the next few years and they zealously work towards making it happen.

I attended an Assemblies of God church for four years, and I can tell you that nothing in this video surprised me.

I saw my friend exorcised by the youth pastor.

I saw people (on a regular basis) speak in tongues, lay hands on others and watch them fall to the ground, writhing in supposed spiritual ecstasy. I saw people running around the church, screaming. My youth pastor tried to get a man with a muscular disease to stand up and walk "in the name of Jesus."

So a witch hunt is not even shocking to me. It's just par for the course in that denomination. An exercise in group psychology, if you ask me. Herd mentality does wonders for the "spirit."

See I think she took the position because she figured grand-dad can't have that many years left...

Honestly... she better pray those tele-prompters never fail or we're likely to get her speaking in tongues...

Which... might actually be kind of interesting...

When will you pagans ever understand? She is simply filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues, inspired by that heavenly music. "Crazy" would be bouncing around and babbling while you're NOT worshiping God, duh.

And I am very afraid.


Well then, you've taken your first step toward becoming a good Christian: Fear the Lord. Muwahaha.
