Why, that poll is almost virginal!

By pharyngula on December 28, 2010.

Atheist Ireland is looking to determine the most fervent believer of the year with an online poll (frivolous topic, frivolous poll), and I was astounded to discover it had hardly been touched. It was an almost virginal poll.

The really, truly True Believer™ of the YEAR 2010

And the winner of 2010 is…

Islamic breast hacking clerics 0% [ 0 ]
Vatican Child Abuse as bad as Ordination of Women. 0% [ 0 ]
God phoning children in Massachusetts. 0% [ 0 ]
Conor Lenihan and the anti science anti evolution book. 100% [ 2 ]
Sheikh Maulana Rape ok in marriage 0% [ 0 ]
Irish Minister for Social Protection pray for the economy. 0% [ 0 ]
Hanging the Christmas elf as a helper of Satan 0% [ 0 ]
Virginia Politician thinking ecurity pat dows are gay agenda. 0% [ 0 ]

Well, I didn't vote — I just backed away. I like my polls a little more experienced. Don't let that stop you, though!
