Tides = Jesus

Plus, it's not just about beliefs, it's also about tradition. I imagine that a good chunk of theists don't feel particularly strongly about their convictions, but it helps create a sense of community/family bonding or what have you. My uncle is "Catholic" but he really couldn't care about going to Mass or anything.

This is really why I think atheist organizations are important, because community is something everyone craves.  Ok, maybe Objectivists don't, but community is something humans crave.

Silverman also says "Maybe it was Thor on top of Mount Olympus?" in regards to the tide going in and out.  I really want to believe that is an intentional miss-attributed troll, but after his lack of high school physics, I somehow doubt it.

Yeah, that bothered me too. He seemed pretty uneducated.

I find, for the most part, when Bill O brings on guests, particularly ones he disagrees with, he doesn't exactly pick the brightest of the bunch.  John Stewart is a notable exception, but of course in those cases he has the luxury of doing a pre-taped show that can be edited. 

He's the head of American Atheists!!

Lack of religious beliefs does not automatically equate to rudimentary scientific knowledge.

But even small children know about the moon.

EVERYBODY knows about the moon.

Yeah, I know. Sigh.

Well, yeah, my parents have a beautiful stained glass Hamsa hanging up in the house with a Star of David inside of it , and none of us were raised Jewish. In fact, the entire family is Catholic. We just don't do anything with it.

Maybe he was just taken aback by how stupid Oreillys comment was.

The appropriate response would then be, "wait, you don't know how the tides work?"

This.  And then laugh hysterically.

Even just stunned silence would've been preferrable over stunned stupidity.

Stupidity is contagious.

God I just want to destroy O'Reilly.  I just want to tie him to some train tracks, or drop a house on him, or put him on a JATO rocket.  God damn I hate him.

[hooplala]

He really is a cunt.

[Jasper]

I really feel that way, but I also feel like he must be this generation's greatest student of PT Barnum.  Like the Darth Vader to Barnum's Yoda.
