Creationists Warn That Teaching Evolution Leads To "Homosexual Indoctrination"
Submitted by Brian on April 22, 2011 - 11:33am


The Creation Studies Institute is warning members that, like the Nazis, gay-rights activists are using public schools to indoctrinate students. While many Religious Right groups have alleged that safe-school and anti-bullying programs lead to “homosexual indoctrination,” the Creationist Studies Institute claims that the “gay agenda” has taken over schools because schools have “fully embraced Darwinian Evolution.”

“Indeed, the rampant teaching of evolution in our schools that is effectively undermining belief in God and absolute moral standards is not only creating an atmosphere of ‘tolerance’ for homosexuality, but for just about anything,” writes Tom DeRosa, the organization’s founder and executive director, who adds: “Of course, in a purely evolutionary world, homosexuals would naturally be bred out of existence.” DeRosa goes on to compare homosexuality with polygamy and pedophilia, and asks members to purchase Focus on the Family’s Secure Daughters, Confident Sons booklet

1. I presume these people

aren't using their real names?

[formercia]

2. All I can say is:

:rofl:

In my unprofessional humble opinion; these people are nUTs!

[ladjf]

32. Or, it might be more precise to say that they are profoundly ignorant. nt

[Zhade]

41. Proudly ignorant. In my mind, that makes creationists idiots.

It's one thing to be wrong or mis/uninformed. It's quite another to dismiss overwhelming, undeniable, demonstrable evidence of the fact of evolution while at the same time clinging to unproven (or in many cases DISPROVEN) bronze age myths.

[ladjf]

42. Yes. And further, such bad thinking can be hazardous to

all of us if they are in control of National politics.

[ananda]

3. Silence seems so golden these days.

Some people should never open their mouths to speak.

[marmar]

4. And we see what the teaching of creationism leads too......

........ brainwashed jackbooted nuttery.

[hobbit709]

5. There was an antigay preacher here in Austin-Mark Weaver.

He was constantly going on about homosexual activity going on in all sorts of places. One of my gay friends joked about passing out his list to newcomers to town so they would know where to go.

[krispos42]

6. Wow, they Godwinned themselves right out of the gate

Of course, if the public schools were being used to indoctrinate students into fundamentalist Christianity, homophobia, and Creationism, doubtless they'd just be trying to do a good job at education.


“Of course, in a purely evolutionary world, homosexuals would naturally be bred out of existence.”

Mmmm... could be, rabbit, could be. But, since Christian doctrine and indoctrination teaches gays from birth that they are straight and to do otherwise is a sin of the unholiest sort, the gays then try to be straight... marrying and having sex with the opposite gender, and procreating, carrying the "gay gene" onto future generations.

[Ezlivin]

7. Yes, I recall learning about natural selection then looking across the aisle and

catching the eye of another boy in my class. We locked eyes and I felt a shudder run through my body.

Evolution was leading to a revolution within my body as I struggled to contain the forces unleashed.

[DCKit]

11. OMG, the same exact thing happened to me....

'cept it was all that talk about "Jesus and his apostles". My little gay imagination went wild.

[vssmith]

18. Studying global warming made me squirm

[gratuitous]

8. Say Anything

Contemplation of the fact of evolution or the fact of homosexuality seems to drive some people mad. The gay rights segment in our denomination handed out hand-knitted and -looped rainbow scarves at our annual conference. Someone (no one would say who) complained that a scarf had been "forced" on his or her granddaughter, and the anonymous complainer said the scarves were reminiscent of gang colors. As we delved into the specifics of the complaint, and it appeared that the complaint was more hysterical than factual, one of the allies interjected, "Really? Gang colors? Come on."

It's useful to know where this nonsense comes from, but sometimes the only reasonable response is withering ridicule.

[pipi_k]

10. Leader of the Rainbow Gang....

A nasty fellow named Roy G Biv


:scared:

[musette_sf]

19. +1

:rofl:

[pipi_k]

9. "OMG....TOLERANCE!!!!1111 We are domed!!111"

aughhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!1111



:eyes:

[malaise]

12. This is stupendous ignorance

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahaha :rofl:

[RainDog]

14. I know. it's incredible, isn't it? n/t

[RainDog]

13. more stupidity about evolution

because homosexuality has been documented within other mammalian species - it is not and has not been bred out of existence - this is yet another example of how these religious leaders who try to politicize science to fit their ignorance simply display how they are utterly ignorant and incapable of dealing with reality.

these are not people who are worthy to teach you or your children anything - they have NOTHING worthwhile to say, nothing of value to add to our national conversation -

and yet they have some of the biggest mouths.

our nation is plagued by idiots who seek power but have nothing worthy to contribute to the well-being of our national life.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Typical non sequitir connection from the peanut gallery.

[jimlup]

16. These people discredit themselves with their own statements.

Unless they live in an extremely ignorant area, reality will take care of the stupid propaganda.

[pintobean]

17. When everybody is gay

we'll stop evolving.

[WatsonT]

22. Not necessarily

there are tribes that are effectively homosexual (they live in gender separate camps). They come together once a year or so to procreate and nothing more.

With modern technology we could do even better.

Not that I think that will happen, but it wouldn't necessarily be the end of the human race. Although if it could be implemented at birth via hormone changes or something that would be an effective birth control method.

[pintobean]

23. It was a joke

but thanks for the tribe info. I didn't know that.

[WatsonT]

30. I know it was a joke, I just took it and ran with it.

I can't remember some of the other tribes but this is one that sort of follows that tradition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etoro_tribe

[coalition_unwilling]

29. I'd actually settle for bringing back the matriarchy. Men have so

fucked things up, women should have a chance to heal and restore homo sapiens and the planet.

[WatsonT]

31. Women would fuck things up equally as well

Men aren't inherently evil and women inherently good.

Men are responsible for most of the problems because men have been in charge most of the time.

Likewise right handed people commit most of the atrocities.

If the situation had been reversed we'd be talking about maybe trying a patriarchy since the women have fucked things up so badly.

[coalition_unwilling]

36. I was trying to joke but couldn't get a smiley into my

subject line.

On a serious note, though, how long has it been since we've had a matriarchy? :) (Sorry, just couldn't resist.)

Reminds me of one of my favorite lines from Joseph Heller's 'Catch 22". One of the characters complains that there's not enough 'patriotism.' To which one of the characters replies, "And not enough matriotism either!"

[WatsonT]

20. Only if taught poorly

"So it's my job to pass on my genes to the next generation which means I have to have a lot of gay sex? I'm confused"

[olegramps]

21. What is to be made of the young man with Jesus when He was arrested?

"A certain young man, dressed only in a linen cloth, was following Jesus. They tried to arrest him, but he ran away naked, leaving the cloth behind." Mark 14.51 Why would Mark, who wrote the first Gospel, who by the way didn't know anything about Jesus' supposed miraculous birth to a virgin, relate this information?

[struggle4progress]

24. I thought belief in global warming was the major cause of gay people, but I've heard

that Obama's missing birth certificate could be a contributing factor, and of course Medicare is also suspected of playing a role

[DBoon]

35. it's all the illegal immigrants

send them back to Mexico and teh gay goes away

[struggle4progress]

38. I thought I'd forgotten to mention something

[Johonny]

25. The blind hate and stupidity of the Creation Studies Institute

is effectively undermining belief in God and absolute moral standards

[QED]

26. I've always wondered what they study

I mean if it's all right there in Genesis, it's a done deal right?

[Johonny]

28. They study new and effective ways of ridding stupid people of their $$

using the same stale arguments that have been around 50-150 years.

[tavalon]

27. Have we determined, yet, whether these people have evolved brains yet?

The evidence suggests not.

[tanyev]

33. They have quite the obsession with homosexual indoctrination.

:freak:

[JHB]

34. “Of course, in a purely evolutionary world,...(cue Charlie-Brown-adult trombone)"

Or, by teaching evolution, our kids might understand how simplistic and wrong that argument is.

[Mz Pip]

37. Teaching evolution

also leads to athletes foot and post nasal drip. (Not intended to be a factual statement.)

[Enthusiast]

39. LOL!

(Not intended to be a factual statement.)

:rofl:

[Bucky]

40. Because one thing happening that you do not like automatically leads to another thing you don't like

For instance Fox canceling "My Name is Earl" leads inevitably to more teenage emo vampire movies.

[Quantess]

43. I'm so thankful I was not raised by religious wackadoos.

I'm very thankful I grew up in a secular home.

[niyad]

44. these people remind me of why I have a t-shirt that reads "stupid people should not be allowed to

breathe"

[rpannier]

45. Because there was no homosexuality before Evolution was taught

Hellenistic and Roman cultures would be surprised

[Zorra]

46. Those people are obviously literally insane. Just read that crap. Loonytoons. nt

[Initech]

47. Logic truly escapes these people.

[Snoutport]

48. WTF?
