I dont know what LGF is trying to accomplish. Most Conservatives I know are people of deep faith and love for this country. By attacking and belittling those people of faith LGF is cutting its nose off despite its face. What Conservatives need is a real blog to discuss the issues, not this psuedo-science mixed with vitrolic hatred of anyone who is different.
On the one hand Charles loves to belittle the Global Warming theory which apparently a good number of scientists are supporting. Charles is so good at science that he can disregard the rantings of a majority of scientists. He is against GW theory only because it is a talking point of the left. Because of his blinding hatred of the left he comes out against GW theory, which is just as ’scientific’ as the evolution theory. But Charles will put down and denigrate anyone who has faith in the Master of the Universe. His hatred is blinding him, and it will be his downfall.
Charles has no purpose in life. He is obviously a descendant of pigs and apes and his morals and interpersonal skills demonstrate his lineage. He is a random speck of dirt on the microscope slide of reality. Just like all dust in the wind his words and thoughts will be like nothing in the course of history. He is so full of himself, and his narcissism shows.

[...] What good is LGF [...]
Wow, the purveyor of this blog is a lunatic. Let’s straighten some things out:
1) Global warming science is not of the same caliber as is evolutionary science. Evolution, the theory – yes, has been observed in the lab, it has been questioned and examined for a very long time, and despite the resistance from organized religion the theory of evolution still stands as the only logical scientific explanation available.
On the other hand, global warming science is full of contradiction…and it hasn’t gotten any warmer since 1998!!!
2) I don’t believe in God, and I am a conservative. Just because you are a religious extremist to the point where you cannot tolerate non-believers does not mean that Charles should have to live his life, or run his site, in a manner that you approve. By confusing religious appreciation and faith with conservative or Republican politics you are doing yourself a great disservice. All who are conservative are not God-fearing, and vice-versa. If the question of faith determines your support for a blogger or a politician then you are setting yourself up for getting screwed by your assumed allies.
3) Get a life. Specifically, get a life that doesn’t revolve around complaining about how somebody else’s blog doesn’t live up to your expectations.
Hey Bob,
I didnt ever say that evolution didn’t happen. Charles banned me not because I said anything which confirms ID theory. Charles banned me because each time I made a comment I pointed out that everything which occurs occurs because of the will of the creator of the universe.
I personally care less about what you believe. And I let your comment though so I could point out to you that you are so full of yourself that your eyes are brown.
Firstly, there is plenty of “SCIENCE” out there which proves Global Warming. Only when a person looks at the question looking for truth does one find out that there is serious lack of consensus on what is causing the observed warming. There are many problems with the current evolutionary theory, heck just open up a google search and you can find several contradictions in the scientific consensus concerning evolution. If you want to believe you are a result of a random and puposeless existence, so be it… You will have a useless and random life, that is your lot.
Who are you, an atheist to tell me to get a life! BWAHAHAHAAA
Charles has gone insane in his attempt to remove people of faith from his blog. I dont deny him the right, nor do I tell him how to run his site, but I do know an asshole when I see one…
You and Charles are assholes of the same caliber…
Go blow sh*thead!
Also Bob,
You think you know me? You know nothing… I get along with peoples of every race, color, creed, and religion. I have no problem working with Hindus, Christians, Muslims, and atheists. How about you? It seems you have a problem with people of faith…
Look at your own problems before you pass judgement on others…
Get a life…. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Regarding the ’science of global warming’
From the UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS:
“The overwhelming majority of scientific experts, whilst recognizing that scientific uncertainties exist, nonetheless believe that human-induced climate change is already occurring and that future change is inevitable.”
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/science-of-global-warming.html
Lets see what other ’scientists’ are saying:
From the science daily website -
“Expect More Droughts, Heavy Downpours, Excessive Heat, And Intense Hurricanes Due To Global Warming, NOAA”
http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/earth_climate/global_warming/
I dont know about you Bob, but the supposed evidence is piling up… You do believe what the scientists say, I mean they are ’scientists’…
“A random speck of dirt on the microscope slide of reality.”
I like that! It’s pretty good!
Real revolving title material there…
Some runners-up:
“You will have a useless and random life, that is your lot.”
“Vitrolic hatred of anyone who is different.”
“Go blow sh*thead!”
Damn, I really can’t see any reason why you were banned, Muman. I guess Charles really is starting to lose it. Thank God guys like you are on his case!
By the way, can you provide a link to “…everything which occurs occurs because of the will of the creator of the universe.” ?
I’ve been looking for proof of that for years and I’m happy to see that someone has finally found it.
Charles is not going to recover from this one…
hey ryannon,
I was very upset when I wrote this. And yes, I stand by what I said. When people call you names and attack your most important faith, yes I will respond in kind. You realize Bob was being insulting and obnoxious in his post, don’t you?
I did more than complain about LGF. My site contains much information which feeds the soul. I write a weekly Torah talk, I post Jewish videos and Jewish position on the election. I am against Obama and trying to garner more Jewish support for McCain. I am also very pro-Israel and post pro-Israel videos.
I was not banned for any other reason than because I have questioned the Darwinian evolution theory. This was the comment which was made by Charles after he banned me. I am sorry you don’t have any faith and cannot understand what I am saying. I hope this is just because you are ignorant and not because you rejected the way you were taught.
I wouldn’t say the person at this site is a lunatic; he simply posted when he was worked up and emotional. That happens to all of us.
I cannot condone the name calling, however; I don’t agree with referring to Bob with vulgar names (e.g., assh*ole, etc).
)
What you should be concerned about is whether or not his accusations and concerns are true: is Charles biased against some people at his blog (to the point of banning them) simply because they express a different opinion from his on a given subject?
If Charles wants to be anti-I.D. (Intelligent Design) and pro-Darwinism, fine, but does he have to behave so rudely about it?
I came across this post at another blog, btw (avideditor.wordpress.com).
I left comments at the other blog, but since they are awaiting moderator approval, I thought I’d paste them in here, too, since I’m unsure they’ll be published at the other blog:
Kenneth, #5 said:
“Nobody at LGF, least of all Charles, has attacked or belittled religious Jews or Christians of faith. Charles has criticised the Intelligent Design ideology.”
And in #8, by ryannon [at the other blog]:
“Can you link to any examples of either or both statements? It’s going to be difficult, because Charles systematically bans anyone posting crap like that.”
It’s not so much one specific comment or another one can point to.
It’s the overall attitude and tone. (Although you really should see post #14 on this page.)
There is definitely an undercurrent of prejudice against Christians and other traditionalist believers at LGF, hiding under the guise of “Oh no, we’re just against Intelligent Design, not Christianity (or people of other faiths).”
Charles’ bigotry against believers is more subtle.
He’s not as obvious about it as are some of the trolls that have dropped in over the years. His is more of a smugness and arrogance against believers, rather than out-right hatred.
Although judging from some of the posts I’ve seen above (such as #11 or #14 where it’s reported that Charles actually had the audacity to compare Christian creationists to Islamic jihadists!), his anti-faith bias is now pretty clear.
I really don’t care that Charles likes evolution and rejects ID.
What irks me is the condescending and rude tone he takes against those who do not accept evolution.
Telling me that you’re not against Christians or Jews but only against I.D. is a bit like people who say that they’re against “Zionism” but not against Jews.
You know most of the time if someone says they’re “anti-Zionism” it’s nothing but code speak for hating Jewish folks.
I was drawn to LGF for its coverage of fanatical Islam and its strong pro-Israel stance.
I was willing to scroll past his incendiary pro-Evolution / anti-Intelligent Design rants, but after giving his blog a rest for a week or so and then returning (thinking maybe he had grown tired of that topic), I was dismayed when I checked in about two nights ago and found a new Darwin post.
Then I logged in today thinking, ‘well, I’ll just ignore that last one’ – but lo and behold if there wasn’t another new Darwin post!
Because he keeps posting about the subject, he is throwing it into our faces, and so I think he’s intentionally trying to offend and annoy people of faith.
And why is this subject, which is so upsetting to some, allowed to be posted about until the cows come home, but the subject of abortion is forbidden there?
And also for Kenneth:
even Christians such as myself don’t necessarily want ID taught in schools. I don’t care either way if it is or is not.
There is no secret agenda of Christians trying to sneak ID into schools, but so many pro-Darwinists behave like tin foil hat wearers, they behave as though there is one.
And they sound no different to me than the fruit-cakes on the web who spout off different 9/11 conspiracy theories.
(If there is a secret ID plot, the Christian Cabal didn’t invite me.)
What is creepy, however, is that nobody is freely allowed to criticize evolution without repercussion in science journals, universities, and the like.
Anyone who has tried to do so in universities gets fired, demoted, denied tenure; students get marked down on for disagreeing with it, people get black balled (get fired and can’t get work elsewhere).
Secularists, agnostics, and atheists can teach evolution at American schools all they like, I don’t mind in the least.
But people who do not believe in evolution have every right to teach against it, too, and should not have to face negative penalities.
(And by “teaching against it,” no, I am not referring to presenting a case in favor of Intelligent Design.)
ryannon Says [at the other blog, avideditor.wordpress.com]:
“if you did, I rather doubt you would have given much credence to people who either lack basic reading comprehension skills or the intelligence to understand that “…Charles has an agenda to attack believers.”
-Er, because he does have one, and there’s nothing wrong with my “reading comprehension skills.” His prejudice has become pretty apparent lately.
#10, ReineDeTout:
So you’re shaking in your boots and afraid because someone may have you sit in an air conditioned classroom one day, while you’re sipping your Coca-Cola, and hear about irreducible complexity [which is one teaching of intelligent design] for an hour?
That’s like the liberals equating a U.S. Marine putting a trash bag with air holes in it over the head of a Gitmo Muslim terrorist detainee with “torture.”
No, torture is having holes drilled in your body with a power tool or having your head slowly sawed off with a dull blade, as the Islmaic terrorists have done to civilian / Jewish / Christian captives.
I’m not in support of *or* against the teaching of ID in schools, but I don’t see what harm would come of it if it were allowed.
People who are rabidly against the teaching of ID make it sound as though people wanting to teach some kids ID are really asking if they can expose the kids to Anthrax.

“And most of the people who support his [LGF's Charles Johnson's Darwinist] crusade will argue that this or that finding proves that there is no creator.”
And *that* is the real reason they cling so tightly to the fable of evolution: it’s not that they believe in science or care about science, as they keep insisting.
Darwinism is all about being against religion, against faith, against God.
The real reason they adhere to evolution is they think it gives them a way out of believing in a God – one who will hold them accountable for how they lived their lives.
Darwinism is their “blankie” (security blanket).
It was good to find this web page. Now I know I’m not alone, and that other people were spotting the anti-faith undertones at LGF too.
I often whether people state their support for atheism in order to acquire attention. Another argument for atheism is to condone immorality. The evolution argument subliminally or perhaps obviously, segues into the suggestion of immorality.
I was a long time poster at LGF – over 4 years – and well known there, but no more. Ad Barry Wom was not my nic there.
I think it’s fairly obvious Charles is consistenly, and rather transparently, ridiculing people of faith. He claims this is not the case, that he is merely bringing science to his blog. If that were the case then there would be other science stories. Instead we see post after post that suggests if one has faith in a creator then you are stupid.
He has driven away many fine minds and writers who are fed up with his incessant in your face degradation of those who believe in a Creator. What is even more troubling are those who fawn over him when rather they should be exposing his weakly veiled bias. If he continues this course you can be sure all that will be left there are lap dogs in a useless echo chamber.
What a shame to think at one time I respected this man. He will get what he deserves and soon enough.
