Falwell’s Flub: Jerry-Rigged Policy Opens Door For Pagan Proselytizing In Virginia Public School
A group of Pagans in Albemarle County, Va., was recently given permission to advertise their multi-cultural holiday program to public school children – and they have the Rev. Jerry Falwell to thank for it.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

How to be a good Christian fountain…
Inflate your cheeks, and build up some pressure in your mouth. Pinch your nose if you need to.- With your cheeks inflated, try breathing in and out through your nose.- Here’s one to try at home, in the shower, or over the sink. Get a mouthful of water. While breathing through your nose normally, force a steady stream of water out through your lips. The key is to get a steady stream of water forced out by your cheek muscles, while breathing through your nose. Once your muscles have learned this “contradictory†set of actions.- Now, using a straw and a glass of water about 1/3 full, practice blowing bubbles with cheek pressure, and alternating the source of air, first lungs, then cheeks. Sniff air in while using your cheeks to create a steady stream of bubbles. In this exercise, the purpose is to make the switch between lung and cheek power, and keeping the bubbles coming steadily.

Yeah, it is over the top Peter. Thing is, it is the stuff of dreams of the evangelical fundamentalists. You’ve only got to go to a few of the more serious science forums to see how insidiously hard these YEC?IDiots are fighting to infiltrate their world view into society. Their agenda of redefining society into a biblical framework through education and politics is rarely, even thinly, veiled. Even when they are arguing with you, that there is no scientific evidence for evolution and any presented is a global conspiracy of scientists. Not just biologists ect who subscribe to evolution either. All fields of science are in on this conspiracy. These people are crazy and do strive hard to recruit anyone in power they can.
We’re lucky in OZ, but Bush’s tendencies and it’s global influence them keeps me, just a a little alert. The possible scenarios portrayed in that article are extreme, however. Reguardless of the over the top nature of the article, I have no doubt how dangerous these people could be with influence/power in the right places.
The evangelicals certainly work their butts off to get the numbers of supporters.

Well, somuch for their claims to be scientific! This simply rules out every evidence except that which fits their conclusion.
I also wonder which scripture exactly they mean? Probably not that bible where the made that little mistake of leaving out NOT in “thou shalt not commit adultery” ?

It’s andy mcIntoshs’ scientific and rational critique of modern geology that persuaded me.
.
“Furthermore the science of a worldwide Flood is completely consistent with the fossil record. Right through the fossil record are fossils of both extinct creatures and those like today, sometimes in the same strata. The fish found in the old red sandstone of Scotland were not so different to fish today. Some were exactly the same as those today. The sedimentary geology of Scotland and around the world bears testimony to the geological power not ‘of the vestiges of an antique past’ but of recent events 4,500 years ago. Indeed some strata can only be explained by catastrophic deposition. For instance the coal seams all over the world, in places miles thick, are formed from vegetation, but the high rank coal that is often found in these seams can only be explained by catastrophic deposition, since high rank coal needs oxygen exclusion of the vegetation that would otherwise only form a low grade peat. Other evidence of polystrate fossil trees running right across strata again indicate rapid deposition and burial – all consistent with a worldwide Flood and which we have no excuse not to believe in. The rocks all around us testify to this, and we do well to heed, for God states (2 Peter 3) that the same Word that brought in the ferocity of worldwide judgement at the flood, will usher in the last days when every knee shall bow before the Creator and Judge – none other than our Saviour in all His glory.”

Nikkiee,
What I find odd, is they don’t call themselves militia anymore.
Unless I just didn’t read it.
That is what they were originally called. Near where I live, they have a compound (they the michigan militia). That doesn’t really exsist, yet it houses something like 3,000 invisible, gun toting bible thumping militants. That are completly self supported, and somehow fly under the governments radar?
The compound has/hasn’t been there since about 1990. I don’t know what scares me more, the fact these camps are well established across the country? Or the fact that for the most part, they are invisible.
Heres a little insight…

on the serious side, I think that right now the situation in America is very bad, but i also think it goes in cycles. When my dad was a kid children would be laughed out of school for even bringing up religiuos discussions. It just wasn’t polite and didn’t happen. It will get better eventually.
Interestingly, you know the senator who just swore in? Some jacks were making a fuss over how he swore on the Koran. You’re not even supposed to swear on anything, most people just bring something important along with them, “happened†to be a bible mostly.If I ever get elected, I’m gonna make a stack of Lord of the Rings, Hitchhikers Guide, and Asimov books to swear on.^_^
.
L’TUAE, this guy gets to use Thomas Jefferson’s Quran, for his swearing in…
Regardless of what this women says…

‘Some critics have argued that only a Bible should be used for the swearing-in. Last month, Virginia Republican Rep. Virgil Goode warned that unless immigration is tightened, “many more Muslims” will be elected and follow Ellison’s lead.’

I ask this to the gathered:
having lurked for a while and my conversion took place on Jan 1, 2007,
I now would like to know how best to spread the word at a long upcoming weekend in Vermont amongst friends from college (alas a while ago for the tassel turn).
Should I boldy go forth smiting about with sauceredness?
subtly turn the conversation towards pasta and pirates?
display my pirate fish and wait for queries?
or another way?.
Haveing been know to frequent the fointain of drafts and having come home with the
curse of the stipper (glitter!;)), what should I do?
Please note that I have the pirate fish on my car, and am bringing the large pirate fish flag to unfurl if conversion(s) take place.

Ya-Hip, My Hearties!
1819
From MOORE’S Tom Crib’s Memorial to Congress:—“Sung by Jack Holmes, the Coachman, at a late Masquerade in St Giles’s, in the character of Lord C—st—e—on … This song which was written for him by Mr. Gregson, etc.â€.
I
I first was hired to peg a Hack
They call “The Erin†sometime back,
Where soon I learned to patter flash,
To curb the tits, and tip the lash—
Which pleased the Master of The Crown
So much, he had me up to town,
And gave me lots of quids a year,
To tool “The Constitutions†here.
So, ya-hip, hearties, here am I
That drive the Constitution Fly.
II
Some wonder how the Fly holds out,
So rotten ’tis, within, without;
So loaded too, through thick and thin,
And with such heavy creturs IN.
But, Lord, ’t will last our time—or if
The wheels should, now and then, get stiff,
Oil of Palm’s the thing that, flowing,
Sets the naves and felloes going.
So ya-hip, Hearties! etc.
III
Some wonder, too, the tits that pull
This rum concern along, so full,
Should never back or bolt, or kick
The load and driver to Old Nick.
But, never fear, the breed, though British,
Is now no longer game or skittish;
Except sometimes about their corn,
Tamer Houghnhums ne’er were born.
So ya-hip, Hearties, etc.
IV
And then so sociably we ride!—
While some have places, snug, inside,
Some hoping to be there anon.
Through many a dirty road hang on.
And when we reach a filthy spot
(Plenty of which there are, God wot),
You’d laugh to see with what an air
We take the spatter—each his share.
So ya-hip, Hearties! etc.

we all need some time to think
cuz we’ve had a long hard day
unassuming, unafraid
and we bared our skin and bone
and we climbed atop this stone
so let us lie, mountain pirates
and look up at the stars
because I know that we are tired
but we’ve found out who we are
and upon this bed of dirt
we’ll pacify the hurt
upon this precipice
we know just what living is (living is, living is)
and so on to tonight’s conversion.
