I'm Afraid of Americans

News like this makes me want to buy a gun.

New polling on just how crazy the people who share the road with you on the way to work or the sidewalk on the way to class are.

An overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God and signicant numbers also think that UFOs, the devil and ghosts exist, a poll showed Tuesday.

The survey by Harris Online showed that 82 percent of adult Americans believe in God and a slightly smaller percentage -- 79 percent -- believe in miracles.

Well, ok. That's not so bad. I should be safe with just a rifle or somet--

Almost equal numbers said they believe in Darwin's theory of evolution (42 percent) -- the belief that populations evolve over time through natural selection -- and creationism (39 percent) -- the theory that God created mankind.

Nuts. They're even crazier. Ok, a few guns and possibly a small compound, but still, not such a huge dea--

Seventy percent of Americans said they were very (21 percent) or somewhat (49 percent) religious, while around one-third of those polled also said they believe in UFOs, witches and astrology. (Emphasis added)

Do they... also want to, you know, put them 'to the question'? Yeesh

Wow. Time to start saving up for that end of the world compound built out of an old missile silo, huh?

Who wants to join me?

Update: Goddamnit, forgot this one too. Sorry.
