The stupidity behind that comment is very evident and can be shown if you just replace the word "god" with "Santa" and "atheist" with "people who don't believe in Santa" as StyxMaker on twitter did.
This however is not the reason for this post, it is just the back story. I am writing because I hate stupidity. I realize that everyone in their lifetime is going to have a stupid moment, that isn't what I am talking about. I am talking about people that even after they are shown a heaping pile of evidence they stick their fingers in their ears and close their eyes. These kind of people will never change their minds about what they believe and they are just dragging down anyone that is willing to listen to them. If it were just adults that were in danger of being stupid it would be one thing, but they are teaching children. At first it is just ignorance on the part of the children that they follow in the footsteps of their parent, but later on when they are presented with the facts of reality they turn and head in to the black hole of stupidity and that is when it is dangerous. Problems like this one occur or this one and pretty soon you realize that your living in a place controlled by stupid people with no immediate future of changing. This is why stupidity much be combated every time it shows itself.

With Christianity, there is this book. And this book says they're right. This book says that no matter what anyone else says, they have the monopoly on truth. And yes, they get to stick their fingers in their ears and sing "lalalala".
To not do so would reveal just how much they don't know. They are both unwilling and unable to grow up and grow out.

We have a problem with anything "smart" in this country. The other kids will call you gay if you are smart, not that being gay is a bad thing, though apparently, the average teenager thinks so. It is a marketing problem. We need to make being smart cool again.
This anti-intellectualism is fostered in the young and only gets worse as they become adults. I've met people who honestly believed there was no such thing as facts, the truth comes from whomever has the loudest voice or most power. Even today I meet adults who believe that every person's opinion is equally relevant.
True education could reverse this trend but it won't happen until we get the irrational people out of the education business, and prevent them from intimidating the educators who are trying to do the right thing by our kids.

We'll hear from them again in 2012, as they try to elevate one of their own to the top yet again. Caribou Barbie, who is wingtard ignorance personified, is going to run. And her inbred Klanservative hordes will happily parrot whatever she tells them to parrot.

Some of the entries there are downright painful to read. I suppose some of it could be considered normal ignorance or absent-mindedness as opposed to full-blown stupidity, but most of it.. no. Fortunately, they provide at least enough laughs to make it worth the masochism, perhaps on par with FSTDT.
For example, since the gullible/loons/fools/idiots poisoning childrens' education came up, here's a related cringe-inducing entry:
(Tom Degan / Timo Degen?, 31) "After he learned of Breatharianism from a website, this kindergarten teacher decided to try it out. He was fasting for three weeks when he had to be hospitalized in a coma, and later died."
The top of the section containing the entry in question says "Here are 3 people who were harmed by someone not thinking critically." I don't know about you all, but I don't find that tragic in the least.
