Fox regular shows just how STUPID he really is...

Erick Erickson must have flunked 2nd grade science, and never recovered.

Erick Erickson: People Who Believe In Evolution Are Dumb And Jealous

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Saturday, 9/27/2014 2:15 pm

It was tough to top the sanctimonious speech delivered by Religious Right activist twins David and Jason Benham at the Values Voter Summit last night, but RedState editor Erick Erickson tried his best. Erickson, who also serves as a Fox News pundit, dedicated his remarks to explaining how people like himself and the VVS audience are headed to Heaven and, because of that, everyone else is jealous of them. These days, Erickson lamented, people “worship science” and “believe we were an accident of a primordial goo, particles bumping into each other after the Big Bang that created bacteria that created amoeba that created something that led to something that led to something, a missing link, and then men, somewhere in there there’s a monkey apparently.” After mocking evolution as dumb and incompatible with the religious faith, even cracking a joke about the Fox series “Cosmos,” Erickson said “I see a world that is opposed to us in this room because we’re headed home to eternity, we’re just passing through.” “There is a last day, pick a side and the right side wins,” he said, adding: “You have got to love someone enough that you don’t want them to go to Hell.”

After the Rapture, can I have your stuff?

If Heaven is filled with people like you, I'll consider other options.

honking up with the fascist corporatists, waiting for the Rapture and the mock the rest of us from their perch in heaven.

Why does the major media ignore the unacceptable influence of radical "Christians" in politics and policy?

How so?

Well, by giving the kooks like Erickson a mouthpiece, it generates controversy.
Controversy = ratings.

Ratings = ad $$$.

It's a government conspiracy to cover up aliens and the Illuminati!!!! Obama is planning a secret army using kids crossing the border illegally to take our guns away!!!

It's so easy to mock Alex Jones fans.

All you have to do is tell them that there's a massive government conspiracy to take our guns away.

“I see a world that is opposed to us in this room because we’re headed home to eternity, we’re just passing through.”


Could they pass through a bit faster?

I just wanna know who said they could even stop off here and breathe our air?

They're better than us, and they know it. Reminds me of a joke.

It got too much for St. Peter at the Pearly Gates to let just one person into Heaven at a time. So there was a large waiting room - just a large expanse of clouds really, where people would wait while checks were run on everyone. Toward the end of the "day," an angel would come out and gather a group of people together and lead them inside. Members of the group would gaze back at the rest of the souls waiting with shit-eating grins on their faces as they haughtily entered the Kingdom of Heaven. Half an hour later, an angel came out and gathered everyone else together and led them in to give them a quick tour of Heaven.

After seeing all the various wondrous things in Heaven, eventually the tour group came to an enormous building that was too big to go around so the angel warned them they were about to take a shortcut through a building that they needed to be absolutely silent in. It would just take a few minutes, but there was to be no noise whatsoever. Everyone followed the angel through, looking at the inside of the building with a mixture of awe and wondering what was so great about the building. Did God live there? It looked like a very nice, yet still not overly-ornate apartment building. They didn't understand, but they kept quiet.

They came out the other side and came to the end of the tour, and before the angel dismissed them, he asked the group if they had any questions. After a moment, one person said, "I have two... Who was that first group that went in before us, and who resides in that building that makes it so special?"

The angel replied, "The answer to your questions is the same: Southern Baptists. We just find being in Heaven is a lot easier if they believe they're the only ones who get in."
