The idea that with a little more god in school tragedy is avoidable really burns my buns. Adding more falsehood to peoples lives is never a good thing. It saddens me to see people talking so unabashedly about how their magic dude in the sky could fix things if only

The following satirical video, “Gay Scientists Isolate Christian Gene”, pokes fun at the concept of a “gay gene” and religious opposition to homosexuality.
