Darwin awards are only for when people's own stupidity gets them killed, the bolded above as you described is just fucking murder in my eyes.
Except when it costs an innocent child their life, like those examples where nutty parents didn't seek medical treatment for a curable illness due to religious beliefs that dictate it's in "gods hands".
Otherwise I think any consenting adult winning a Darwin award, for religious reasons or otherwise, is great stuff. Idiocy is by no means the sole domain of the religious.
Once you've resigned yourself to the fact that the world is full of idiots, this means nothing in the scheme of things...and for some to draw broad extrapolations from such minutia only serves to reinforce the fact that the world is, indeed, full of idiots.
This is not religion at the height of its most insane.
Sigh...I was being rhetorical.The world is not full of idiots.
*yawn*......who are we to judge a God?? lolOne of the things that makes me roll my eyes more than anything is that even when stuff like this happens, God can do no wrong, or make any mistakes. "This is what the Lord intended" is the response to incidents like this. There's a built-in excuse for literally anything that goes awry.
*yawn*......who are we to judge a God?? lol
no worse then the co-KOOKs running around with their gospel of cooling / warming / sky is falling alarmist sermon.
no worse then the eco-KOOKs running around with their gospel of cooling / warming / sky is falling alarmist sermon.
Keep spouting that discredited-a-million-times-bullshit about cooling/warming.
Also, it's fun to see someone crying about scientists who discuss climate change as "sky is falling alarmism", when your main crying point about climate change solutions is that if we do anything, the economy will crash! Oh no! The end of the economy!
Brilliant.
Are you kidding?
Kinda tame compared to castration, murder, etc.

I'll presume you're familiar enough with the concept of jihad and spare you another link.
We are the inventors of that God. That is who we are.
That reminds me of a story about the contest between the Greeks and the Persians over which were the greatest artisans to settle that dispute.
A curtain was put down the middle of a large building between each side. The Greeks on one side created a work of unsurpassable elegance and beauty while on the other the Persians created a mirror, and when the curtain was pulled nobody could tell who won.
