Here's a laugh for you - the Creation Museum!

[johan helge]

Old but funny news: In May, the $27 million Creation Museum was opened, to "show that belief in every word of the Bible can be defended by modern science" (http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/05/31/creation_museum/index_np.html). See also http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/05/24/arts/24crea.html.

I admire these people a little - they believe what the Bible says, no matter what. But at the same time, of course, you have to marvel at what religion can do to people's common sense.

1. Can you imagine steppin in a pile a dinosaur shit?

3. This past 6 years has been like WADING through a whole field of the stuff.

The country is run by religious right pinheads who all think the Earth is 6,000 years old.

[timtom]

4. This country is NOT run by religious right pinheads!

You think Bush is some sort of a Christian?

Horseshit!

Hell, he's not even a Republican.

You think Cheney's a Christian?

Baloney!

How about Rice, Wolfowitz, Feith, Rove (even though he "stepped down").

Not a serious Christian among the lot.

Oliver North?

Wrong again, bunky!

The extreme right religious pinheads are more fodder for these globalists/corporatists/thugs.

10. check out this LINK>.Christian Mafia started by a Nazi Jew, runs th prayer breakfasts you hear about

http://www.insider-magazine.com/ChristianMafia.htm

12. Don't call me "bunky". I don't give a shit if anyone THINKS Bush, Cheney, etc. are "Christians".

They say they are, they ARE. And they are certainly ADVANCING a religious right, theocratic agenda.

What's the logic there- that people who aren't religious (or aren't "Christian") are inherently less moral, and Bush, Cheney, etc. are obviously amoral, so they must not be "Christians"? Is it something like that?

Nice. Real fucking Nice.

And I'm sorry, Jack, (Chief, Pal, Dude, etc. etc.) But large parts of our government ARE run by

Religious Right Pinheads.

Monica Goodling? The guy they wanted to put in charge of womens' health at the FDA who was anti-birth control? The people running the parks department who have ordered rangers not to discuss any science facts that might conflict with creationism? Incompetent Religious Right Pinheads. All of 'em.

So put that in your "values voter" pipe and smoke it.

18. Wow!! What crawled up your kilt?

Like I say, they use anybody they can for whatever purpose they think advances their goal.

And, "Bunky" was my best boyhood friend's name.

Didn't mean to offend, Cowboy.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Cowboy, That's a good one. Seriously.

I hear what you're saying, but I also happen to think the theocracy IS the goal. At least one of em.

7. The guy who plays Adam at the museum is an internet porn star of sorts, too. n/t

[LostInAnomie]

9. What's not funny is that I have a student going there this weekend.

And, that he's going to come back and tell the other 3rd and 4th grade students stories about Adam and Eve riding dinosaurs and that the Earth is only 6 thousand years old. Then I'm going to have to reteach them science lessons that should only have to be taught once.

[sam sarrha]

11. are you going to allow this activity in your class room when he returns...?

it is just like the tobacco companies selling tobacco to kids thru cartoons.. why not a corporate jesus..

[awoke_in_2003]
