While I was reading that steaming pile of an article, I realized that I was reading an ID course curiculum.

Sure we joke about how Goddidit is the only answer that the kids will need to know...

But there is the proof.

"Why do giraffes have long necks?"

"Jesus!"

"Why do zebras have stripes"

"Jesus!"

Alls I've got to say is "Oi weh!"

Well, it makes for a short and efficient science course, doesn't it? The only answers to the how questions are "Jesus did it!" and the anwers to the why questions are "because it pleased Him to do it" and the answers to the when questions are "whenever He felt like it, and who are we to question the Lord?" You could get through high-school science in half an hour.

Why are there so many bloody fundie crackpots called Robert or Bob???

I used to be PROUD of my name. but oooohhh, no, couldn't let dear old Bob (me in this case) be proud of something, could they?

IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY AGAINST ME!

Hey!! You aren't the only one! I can't STAND the way they sully the good name of Robert (oops, I let that slip out...)

BTW, why do you go by Bob, and not Robert? I can't STAND being called Bob or Bobby!

Those #@*&ing right-wingers also cancelled a good little cartoon show on FOX named "God, the Devil, and Bob"

Well, at least that steaming pile of horseshit did have a few gems in it:

Quote:

Now, is it okay to be chained to a false belief?"

"No," the kids answered in unison.

(a false belief like Christianity) and

Quote:

"Well, I'm sorry, but if you take out the first twelve chapters of Genesis, you can pretty much throw the rest of Christian ideology away, because it's all founded on Genesis.

I agree heartily with these two above snippets!

People started calling me it in grade 9, I couldn't stand it, I tried to stop it, I lost, and like a fungus it's grown on me.

and as for people calling me Bobby, two people get away with it (My ex, who's french and mispells is Boby, and some canadian chick I've been talking to for 2 years now)

Except for the new testament, which, you know, lays the entire foundation for Christianity. What crack has this fucker been smoking?

Actually, the line "His name is Robert Paulson" is from Fight Club, and it's where the little cult ( Project Mayhem ) that was built up is trying to figure out why Edward Norton is freaking out at the death of the guy with big boobs.

He's yelling, "His name is Robert Paulson, he is an individual" or something like that, but instead of them figuring out they're brainwashed, they proclaim: "Oh, in death one has a name. His name is Robert Paulson. His name is Robert Paulson."

Eerily similar to this ( and honestly my digust cannot be properly expressed at what he is doing to children ) lunatic is doing to children, teaching them to chant "Jesus did it!".

People like him are what frighten me. If they get their way, our medical system will no longer be the envy of the world, it will be the laughing stock.

Frantic wife: "Nurse, Nurse, my husband has been shot, he needs help!"

Nurse: "Hold on, let me see if the pastor is available to pray for him...."

I think this sums it up very well.

Augh!

I find it sickening that these people try to hammer beliefs into the heads of priable children!

Satisfied with the lesson of the wild dogs, Jack went on to the giraffes. There are seven bones in a giraffe's neck, he told his group. "Evolutionists believe those bones stretched over a long period of time, but can you stretch the bones in your neck?"

LOL

He REALLY understands evolution

Giraffes got their long necks because they stretched their neck muscles 0_o?

I'm thirteen and I understand it better!
