Genesis 1:27 - “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.”

This is not just wokeism; it is part of the spiritual battle “against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Kudos to Richard Dawkins! - Even if I don't agree with him on evolution.

Me neither:

Dawkins [basically] Admits Nothing Can Persuade Him God Exists

Yet atheism is itself is a position that requires much faith. Meaning that an exceedingly vast, well-ordered, systematic universe, finely tuned for extensive earthly life with its exquisite diversity and astounding complexity, came to be by purely natural powers, without a supreme intelligence behind it. Which indeed requires much faith.

And "proof" depends upon the definition of the term. “Proof” can mean having sufficient warrant for a verdict, and much can be offered for the existence of at least a supreme intelligence, a creator and designer[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] - which logically would infer omnipotence and omnipotence - as well as substantive testimony for the God of the Bible being that Creator, including working in the lives of believers today. [14]

No one really knows what a male or a female is! /mordant sarcasm

I just added that absurdity to my ever increasing selected list of such.

Would have liked to see a blasting of ‘pronoun usage’ but hey it’s a start.

science and biology has called us male or female for thousands of years

And we don’t even have to be a biologist, like that idiot female Supreme Court justice said. What an idiot. Senator Blackburn should have come back at her, by assuming that not only is she not a biologist, but that she is also not a trained meteorologist either, and if not, could she go outside and figure out if it raining or not?

Interesting to see the strange look on Carol Lawrence’s face.

If we wholesale abandoned all the traditional words and completely adopted all their ridiculous new words, wouldn’t we be right back where we started?

See also my occasional rant about colored people -> negro -> black -> person of color -> African American -> whatever is next

I couldn't find the Bloom County I wanted to post where Steve Dallas has this go around with his mother including her mentioning the NAACP and UNCF.

Absolutely right! This extreme nonsense got started when government stepped in to make college education “affordable” and began dropping tons of money on universities. Nobody would enroll for useless, culture-destroying, non-marketable “studies” if the government weren’t paying.

$1 trillion to $2 trillion annual deficits from here to eternity dumps a lot of money on universities to create this garbage.

As for me, I have decided not to speak except for “Nope”.

There it is, ‘scientists’. Nope. Not buying it. I want NAMES of the scientists saying this. We all know it’s all to easy to push a woke agenda by using nameless, faceless, words like ‘scientists’ - of which you’re not allowed to argue with because, you know, they’re ‘scientists’ and are ‘all knowing’.

The newer crop of “edgukated” actually believe that they are correct.
Hopefully Dawkins will understand how forced indoctrination and societal pressure can confuse a whole population.

Which is a good thing to remind Republican congresses. And send in notes to the next Republican president. Assuming, of course, we can EVER get past Democratic election fraud.
