"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure." -- Helen Keller
Don't get mad, get even. This very funny video turns the tables on the likes of Sally Kern. Much truth is often said in jest, and it certainly applies in this case. In 2005, New Scientist reported on a study that suggested that "genes contribute about 40% of the variability in a person's religiousness." A more recent study, also published in New Scientist, found that political ideology may be genetically inherited too. The Daily Mantra wonders if aversion therapy is as useful when used to treat political leanings and/or religion as it is when used to treat homosexuality? Perhaps gene therapy may ultimately provide a more reliable cure for right-wing Christian fundamentalists such a Sally Kern and our old pal Bill Donohue.
