I believe...

Dan Olmsted is the editor of Age of Autism. I'd have thought that to get the title "Editor" of anything, you'd need to have at least a modicum of sense. But when has that ever mattered at Age of Idiocy?

Olmsted writes a piece which he pompously titles "Weekly Wrap", in which he moans about sensible people not agreeing with his loopy ideas, and mentions mercury more often than a hagiographic post on a Queen forum.

This week, he's praising Joan Campbell. You may remember Campbell - she put a website together called "followingvaccinations.com", which is basically a list of unsupported and unverified anecdotes from anti-vaxers making claims that their children are ill because of vaccines.

Olmsted quotes one of these - it starts like this:
I believe my son's issues stem from the two flu vaccines I was strongly advised to take during pregnancy.

"I believe." That's it.

Well, people believe a lot of shit, and, at Age of Autism, belief is the only thing they've got. I'll leave you with this:

    I believe, too!!!
    IT's just a Seed of faith
    you believe now...
    which'll grow-up if you allow
    the Holy Spirit to guide you
    through prayer, lissening, choirch going and most importantly giving.
    Didn't Jesus give His
    life just for you
    so that you could win
    Seventh-Heaven???

    If you aint aware of the 2
    Commandments we ALL need to
    enter the Great Beyond, they are:

    1. You gotta love God
    with your whole heart AND...
    2. Love everyone else in this
    Finite existence.
    That's it!!
    That's all!!
    How easy is that???

    trustNjesus, dear.
    ALWAYS.
    God bless your indelible soul.
    Yes, maam, Im an NDE.

    compared to eternity, dear???

    1. Sad what most of U.S.
      feels now is hate,
      stoked by the politicians
      who think they're
      above the law...
      yet, they're only mortal.
