Just thinking about ministers in general, they pretty much have to toe the line of dogma items. Lutheran ministers do not need to believe in 7 day creation, but the rest has to be considered and fed to congregation as useful teaching, not fact. I think they justify being a hypocrite with the idea that they are doing some good.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Thank fuck he's a Kiwi, so Oz doesn't have to disown him.

I've heard some absolutely bat-shit crazy arguments that creationist use to 'disprove' evolution, but this one is in a league of its own. There is absolutely no way that Ray Comfort could genuinely misunderstand evolution this badly, otherwise he wouldn’t have the intelligence to get out of bed in the morning. The only explanation is that he's wilfully concocting bollocks to appeal to his scientifically illiterate followers.

You know that the best thing is. These whackjobs usually do society a favour by rounding up the same host of dangerously credulous fools that usually end up as terrorists. Weirdo cultist segregate them from society and often get them to indulge in mass suicide.

Lets not mock an anti-body.

At least Ray lays it out clearly..."evolution" isn't really the issue here. They're worried that if the kids become "evolutionists", they'll instantly become pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and start having pre-marital sex. IOW, evolution is the gateway drug to full-on liberalism and atheism.

That's why his arguments against evolution are so comically stupid. It's not really his main issue.
If you don't like being called "stupid", then stop saying stupid things.

A bit off-topic, but it reminds me that a couple of years ago I was going to write a blog post taking a poke at arch AGW denier Nigel Lawson after he appeared, spouting absolute drivel, on BBC Radio 4's program Start the Week. Until I realized that I would have to listen again in order to quote him verbatim. The post never did get written.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. [
Macbeth]

It am wicked to mock the afflicted. [
BH (Calcutta), failed]

Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope. [
