1. The nuns taught me evolution.

2. More proof that Catholics aren't

true Christinas! :evilgrin:

[Strong Atheist]

3. You joke, but I have had that question from kids I teach twice this

year, and had to explain that yes, catholics are christians...

[MineralMan]

4. Yeah...of course they are. But the bonehead fundamentalcases

have been insisting that the Roman Catholic Church is the Antichrist for many decades. The Wisconsin Synod of the Lutheran Church even has that in its official doctrine. Martin Luther wasn't that fond of the "Papists," either.

It's amazing what some religious doctrines do to common sense.

5. If the Discovery Institute can't make it with Benny, they are doomed.

At least until the next mutation of Creationism is evolved.

6. Man scoffs at the idea of leprecauns...

...claims that unicorns scared them all away.

7. Heh-he-he-he-eh.....**SNARF** n/t

8. Hmmm, if it's "not a scientific perspective, nor a theological or philosophical one"

then what the hell is it anyway? I mean other than bunk.

9. A stopped clock is right twice a day n/t

[Occam Bandage]

11. That would be more apt, I think,

in a case in which a long-held belief, founded in nothing but superstition, ended up being proved correct under certain circumstances through nothing but sheer chance, or preferably through the fact that such things must happen sometimes anyway. A closer clock-related statement here would be "You can improve a gear in a completely broken clock, but it'll still most likely not going to be useful for telling the time."

I confess that isn't as punchy.
