my first mental response: "The god of gays is PISSED." "and really, why wouldn't he be?"
edit:
there's also this, a cult of Gadget Hackwrench. Yes, from Rescue Rangers.
as disturbing as I should probably find this, it's kind of fucking awesome... makes as much sense as any other religion, really..

I partially blame that character for the existence of furries.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

just be short and inclusive and blame Disney in general. I know one furry whose favourite movie is the Disney Robin Hood. I personally, when I was a kid, preferred Disney movies with anthropomorphic characters.

Guys, can we keep threads to their topic, please? This is news, and pictures of thunderstorms for their rainbows and discussion of furry religions just aren't it.

define News. To me it's "new information".
The existence of a photo of both lightning and a rainbow was news to me. The existence of a furry religion was news to me.

Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a 'world-killing' event Are you fucking kidding me? I mean, I read about methane pockets as an extinction event nearly a year ago on Cracked, but this is seriously maybe happening?
I don't get too worked up about scaremongering that often, but if this is true...what the fuck can be done? I'm guessing very little.

My conservative friends totally believe that the Tea Party proved that they are not racist and that they have the NAACP backed into a corner now. Right.

I am often baffled at how many of these things are labeled as putting humanity back to the dark ages. Granted it would suck extremely bad, on the order of millions upon millions of lives lost and worldwide economies crapped upon extra hard, but I imagine civilization at large would continue on. The effects would be global, but humanity would continue.
Oh, I just watched a short youtube video on the methane bubble extinction events, and see why it is more globally horrific (I originally assumed the greater global impact would largely be dissolution of food chains and economies). Apparently flaming tsunamis and such are only the beginning. Riiiight at the end Ryskin mentions 50 meter coverage of the entire Earth in methane gas, which would be ungood. Of course the video ends before that description can be explained further.
I presume for dramatic/descriptive effect he just compared total volume of gas released by a bubble versus volume of space that would cover the earth in 50 meters. It would be deeper nearer to the site, and would not reach up mountains.
(checks Indianapolis' sealevel, ah good, over 200m... that means I win, right?)
I wonder if the contingency for such an event (if there could be a contingency) is to nuke the fucking bubble and hope to fight fire with fire accelerating the burn before gasses reach all of civilization. I imagine in a global extinction event there really isn't a reason to hold back and be reasonable.

#1: there is nothing wrong with people putting weird historical mythological crap on posters.
#2: Horus is not a goat. He is not a serpent either. He is a falcon. What the fuck?

The link in the second link has someone complaining that "there are several clear references to pagan gods in this picture" and that "horus the egyptian was often represented as a ram with a serpent".

Just learned that the "pesticides" in GMO corn is actually just a protein, normally created by a bacterium, which is toxic to insects.
and spent a good hour or so berating well-intentioned extremists on facebook about their fear-mongering.

oh, and that this protein has been used in Organic Gardening for 50 years...
