SPLITTERS!!

Look. I'm not trying to stir the pot or rabble rouse or trouble-make or anything. Which is why I'm posting this here, in the backwaters of the internet where few venture forth into the recesses of my tangled thought processes. Because if I put this up on Facebook, it would offend either my heavily secular friends or my somewhat fundamentalist friends, or my snarky comments would seal the deal for both sides. Hurt feelings. I'm just trying to prevent them.

THE FOUNDER OF THE CREATION MUSEUM HAS BEEN BANNED FROM THE NATION'S LARGEST HOME SCHOOLING CONVENTION.

Because he kind of dissed another event speaker. The whole thing reminds me of that scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian:



What I want to know is, how the HELL does a theme park with religious overtones that features dinosaurs on the God-damned ark get $37 million in tax incentives?! Also, the photo used in the article makes him look like a cross between a feral Amish man and that creepy preacher from 'Poltergeist'.

ya know! just b/c no one will have sex with you doesn't mean you should become a bible-thumping, pedophiliac (I'm guessing), uber-up-his-ass Jesus obsessed crazy fuck who detracts from the overall value of the universe.

I'm sorry, what was that you were saying about your fundamentalist friends again? There was a slight ringing in my ear...

Ah, M. I can always count on you to not put too fine a point on the whole topic. :D

I socialize with a handful of people who look at this issue from a different perspective than you and I, and I try to be more aware of that than I used to be. But yeah. I don't see what this man brings to the table as far as legitimacy. Dinosaurs. On the ark. But a lot of people take him seriously. Including himself. Maybe too much, I'm thinking.
