I suggest, Jason, stay away from movies such as Halloween, and get into comedies a bit.
This might teach you comedy when someone produces it to you.


So this is just a joke to you?  Here was me thinking that you were taking all that religious claptrap seriously!

How the heck can a mousetrap get to you?

Closer observation, and a better bait.
Evolution, the religion whereby one believes your children more human, and your parents more ape, than you!

The Human Mind, if it has nothing to do with Evolution...What an incredible entity...
If it does, what a waste!

Atheism, what a wonderful religion, where one believe to believe is erroneous.

Religion isn't harmless.  Chemistry (science) isn't harmless.  On the basis of harm you want to ban X, but not ban Y.  Y is that?
Strawman. I don't want to ban either. I want to regulate both. We regulate what chemicals we put out, but we don't regulate what religions spew.

I am sure the Chinese Communist party supports your position.  Only Mao's Little Red Book allowed on Twitter.

Also, the solution to both kinds of harm is better education.  It not only doesn't take a doctorate in chemistry to understand that mixing bleach and ammonia is bad, it doesn't take a doctorate in chemistry to understand why mixing bleach and ammonia is bad.

Similarly, it doesn't take a doctorate in philosophy specializing in ethics to know that slavery, and the oppression of women and LGBTQ people is wrong -- and even with a divinity degree and a doctorate in apologetics, there is no way to make those morally acceptable.

but, but ... I find lots of things morally unacceptable, including things done by people who post here ... so ...

Yeah. or bleach and vinegar, either! It makes chlorine gas.

Don't mix cleaning products, either.  I did that playing "chemist" with a friend when I was a kid.  We had mixed a cleaning product called Soilax, no longer manufactured I think, with Linco, a bleach.  My friend stuck his nose up to it when it was bubbling and took a whiff, then ran out of the basement coughing and choking .  Then his aunt came down and raised holy Hell after the smell got upstairs.  I think it might have made chorine gas, but I was too young to recognize the smell.  I'm not sure it was chorine, but it was horrible.

Edit: Yeah chlorine.  Soilax was basically ammonia.

Kids are junior terrorists.  Just abort them before they are even born.

Yeah, it was a violent reaction too, the kind of reaction every young budding mad scientist dreams of.

Mixing dangerous chemicals and almost killing ourselves ten times over. Ah, good times. Good times.

And I can quote many people on their stance of the Bible.
Will it change the facts?
Why do you think quoting Asimov will be some hard core fact that the Bible is wrong?
First, the numbers of people supporting an idea is meaningless.  At one time, most people thought the Earth was flat. 
Second, Asimov was a knolwedge-oriented person.  He wrote a real science books, too.

And college-level textbooks.  And a set of Biblical commentaries, too â€" which unsurprisingly are from a secular viewpoint rather than just assuming it's all true and trying to crowbar it into reality.
