Anyway, I'm back up to strength, and took muttley out for a decent stroll this morning ....

Fucking Dog!

Great news!

My dog pulled one of these on me last night:

Apparently she was done walking halfway through.

Why Cavendish, pray tell?

Not that I give too much of a shit about the goings on in the Land of the Large, but this little piece has some encouraging gems, and being a severe christ-stain, Mike Pence is probably a lying twatwaffle.

According to Greg Smith, associate director for religion research at the Pew Research Center, Mr Pence's claims do not appear follow the numbers.

"The data we do have do not suggest a recent increase in the share of Americans who are highly religious," Mr Smith told the BBC.

"The vast majority of Americans do say they believe in God, but those numbers are ticking downward," he added.

As for Mr Pence's suggestion that more Americans are going to church in modern times? Aside from sheer population differences from 1776 to now, the figures do not support that claim either, according to Mr Smith.

"We've begun to see in recent years smaller but noticeable declines in the share of Americans who say they believe in God, who say religion is important to them in their personal lives, who say they pray every day and we've seen declines in the share of Americans who say they attend religious services regularly," he said.

A 2017 study published in Sociological Science showed that those who are intensely religious are still going to church consistently and frequently, but once-a-week attendance is dropping.

Mr Smith also noted the data shows the number of Americans identifying as atheist, agnostic or nothing in particular is "growing very, very rapidly".

"The share of Americans who identify with Christianity is declining because the share of Americans who identify with no religion is growing," Mr Smith said.

A 2017 study by the Public Religion Research Institute also tracked a diminishing white Christian presence across the US.

In 1996, 65% of Americans identified as white Christians. Over the last decade, that number has dropped to 43%.

"But Pence is one of only 56% of Americans who believe in a traditional conservative God of the Bible.

"The number of Americans with that kind of faith is plummeting.

"More than one in three millennials are now religiously unaffiliated. On average 3,500 churches close every year in America."

Looks like Pence is a cunt - as expected.

Yeah, he's a major piece of shit.

I don't know why boffins on rationalwiki even bother rebutting this load of horseshit.

Maybe Andrew can get a hold of it insert some evolved intelligence and turn it into more of a fiasco. Would be fun to watch.

Such strong language against Hillary, who by far has done far less shitty things than Trump has.

To be clear, I don't mind you calling Hillary a bitch or even if you called Bernie bad names, but when you don't do the same to a person who has done far worse a lot more often reveals your confirmation bias. You're Donald's cuck. And a shitty Christian.

Its not that Trump's bad side is any better or worse than Hillary, but his strong side - his talents etc. , and what he can accomplish, is far far far greater.

Yeah, dumbass, Turnip is much better at crying like a little bitch than Hillary. He's also better at whining about a single investigation while Hillary went through several. He's also better at being too weak to testify under oath. And he's better at accomplishing almost nothing, thankfully. Because he is also better at ruining things and making things worse. Just look at his track record for his companies, he's so much better at making shitty decisions that he bankrupted a casino, which is damn near impossible, but some how, Turnip was able to do it.


Of course, I don't even know if you actually support Turnip as much as you're just trolling. The stupid thing about trolls is that they perceive replies to their posts as meaning something. It's like children dropping things on the floor and being entertained by it. Of course the thing will fall, of course people will respond. It's stupid, but I guess simple people are entertained by simple things.

Remind me again why I consider most church-going Yanks to be gullible dolts.

A US televangelist has asked his followers to help fund his fourth private jet - because Jesus "wouldn't be riding a donkey".

Jesse Duplantis said God had told him to buy a Falcoln 7X for $54m (£41m).

Oh Dear, how unfortunate!

A crocodile has killed a Protestant pastor who was baptising followers near a lake in southern Ethiopia. Docho Eshete was conducting the ceremony for about 80 people on Sunday morning at Lake Abaya in Arba Minch town's Merkeb Tabya district. Residents and police told BBC Amharic a crocodile leapt from the water during the baptism and attacked him.
