Roger Ebert has an interesting article in his journal pointing out the hypocrisy of people who think it is in bad taste to discuss religion in public, but have no problem talking about New-Age beliefs such as astrology, psychics, reincarnation and past lives, healing crystals, Tarot cards, or Feng Shui. As Ebert puts it:

Conservatives Republicans have decided that the world must be remade to match their ideology. First they proposed a “purity test” — a ten-point checklist of conservative positions.

A few years ago, evangelist (and former child star) Kirk Cameron released a video attempting to prove that God exists and created the world just for us humans by pointing out that the common banana fits perfectly into the human hand. Watch it — it is short and (unintentionally) hilarious:

Here is an amazing video of Congressman John Shimkus (R-Illinois) at a hearing on climate change (note that they don’t call it global warming anymore). Shimkus reads from the bible in order to justify his claim that global warming is false, because God promised to never ever destroy the earth ever again. He also claims [...]
A new study published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives finds that areas in the US that are more conservative or religious than average tend to purchase more online pornography than average. Or as the author of the study puts it ”Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of the [...]

I generally believe that people’s sex lives should be their own private business, as long as they don’t involve any quid-pro-quo (you know, sex with someone as a bribe to get a job or a contract).
