Here's a new one on the anti-vaccination front...

"If you are vaccinated, God won't hear your prayers!"

I describe people like this as having been hit in the head too often with a big family Bible.



Aborted Cells in Vaccines May Have Blocked Anti-Choice Prayers, Says IFA

Recent measles outbreaks have had public officials in some states thinking about limiting non-medical exemptions from vaccine requirements in order to boost sagging vaccination rates, but at the same time, some anti-abortion activists are encouraging people to view vaccination as participation in evil.

Intercessors for America, for example, has published “Immunized Against Effective Prayer,” a four-page “intelligence report” suggesting that decades of prayer to break “the curse of abortion” may have been ineffective because so many people have been injected with vaccines containing aborted fetal tissue. According to IFA’s report, that makes them complicit in abortion, “thus disqualifying our spiritual authority in prayer.”

1. What?!

WTH is wrong with people? Is it too early to start drinking?

[smirkymonkey]

2. Cheers, mate!

I can't take any more of this stupidity today.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I suspect it's the anti-vaccers who are already drinking!

[DBoon]

11. alcohol is not strong enough for this madness

LSD would be a better fit

[TeapotInATempest]

13. Pretty sure I'm already having a very extended bad trip, lol

The things we see in the news every single day can't possibly be real, can they?

21. A cocktail of scopolamine and krokodil

[SHRED]

3. What about fertility clinics?

Where fertilized eggs are discarded on a regular basis.
They are silent about that yet willingly lie about vaccines.
Nutcases.

[GemDigger]

6. It's not the eggs that enrages men, it is when we discard their sperm that pisses them off.

Every GOP man thinks that their every little sperm swimming will be the coming Messiah.

[SHRED]

8. Sacred sperm

[GemDigger]

12. This! This had me laughing controllably until the end and then I just lost it!

[SHRED]

14. It's a great movie

[displacedtexan]

15. I had completely forgotten about this!

Thanks for posting!

[SHRED]

16. You're welcome!

[Volaris]

18. Oh bullshit. As most of them discard their sperm on a pretty regular basis anyway,

They'd have nothing to complain about.

[dewsgirl]

5. These people are dangerous.

[ck4829]

22. They really are

[Socal31]

7. This has to be a parody at this point....right?

[ck4829]

23. Right?

[MyOwnPeace]

9. Oh, yeah..............

"some anti-abortion activists are encouraging people to view vaccination as participation in evil."

So, better to bring them into the world and let them die of negligence than to allow a woman her choice?

This is just too much stupid - how did this happen?

I know!

Thanks, Obama! (and the shame is that some would really think that!)

[Lucky Luciano]

10. Fuck these pro-plaguers.

[ck4829]

24. +1

[Volaris]

17. Or, god doesn't really care that much about this.

[TheBlackAdder]

19. God kills thousands of fetuses and babies each and every day.

[ck4829]

20. Occam's Razor if you believe in God (I do)

[ck4829]

25. Taste the crazy!

[Guilded Lilly]

26. No shortage of Damned Stupid to the Core cells in many human brains. N/T

[dalton99a]

27. Don't take antibiotics either

They interfere with God's bacteria

[ck4829]

29. They really should just forsake medicine and medical expertise altogether

Some of the oldest things about medicine period are seeking ways to create reproductive freedom, abortions, and contraceptives.

Medicine and abortion go hand in hand.

[Shrike47]

28. News for IFA: you never had any spiritual authority to disqualify.

[keithbvadu2]

30. Their God is too weak to hear such prayers. The real God is not.

Their God is too weak to hear such prayers. The real God is not.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. So these vaccines are a sort of Faraday cage for prayers?

And how lame is God if prayers are blocked that easily?

What a bunch of loons.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

32. "The Problem From Evil"

This bit of theological debate dates back to the time of St. Thomas Aquinas (13th century). I love to pose this to right wing, christianistas. They start to quiver, then mumble, then their eyes dart furtively back and forth, then they just start melting.

"If god can prevent evil, but doesn't, then he isn't all-loving;

If god intends to prevent evil, but cannot, then he isn't omnipotent; and

If god both intends to prevent evil and is capable of doing so, then how can evil exist ?"
