Madonna's Big Bang
Ah, the joys of a relaxing morning catching up on the news spread across the internet!
I stumbled up this gem (also here, but free registration may be required) outlining how a the Anti-Defamation League is demanding an apology from Georgia State Rep. Ben Bridges (R, Cleveland) because of a memo Bridges circulated " that says the teaching of evolution should be banned because it is a myth propagated by an ancient Jewish sect." Apparently the Big Bang Theory is a tall-tale passed down in Kabbalah. Bridges is also the sponsor of legislation to require
Fortunately for those of us bored on a lazy weekend, there's more. Bridges' campaign manager runs the website www.fixedearth.com. Here you can learn about how the Earth is not rotating or moving at all and how Copernicanism paved the way for evolutionism. There are several links to various topics, but my personal favorite is the page outlining 14 "What if?" questions that Creationists should ask themselves regarding the myth of heliocentricity.
Money question:
WHAT IF - mathematics has long since been an art form capable of depicting anything the "artist" wants? (And what if the ultimate "artist" behind heliocentric (moving earth) mathematics is not men but You-Know-Who?!)
Clearly I have been misled in my intellectual pursuits. Forget everything I said in my God comment. Here I thought I was working with the purest forms of truths, working up slowly from an axiomatic foundation, in a subject that did not carry the same ideological emotions as the other hard sciences. Apparently not. Obviously, my first mistake was leaving the home, since as a married woman, my sole obligation is tending to my husband's needs and bearing him glorious heirs, instead of investigating various geometric embeddings of complete graphs on orientable and nonorientable surfaces.
As you get bored this week, or if you have President's Day Off, please poke around Fixed Earth. My challenge for you is to find the most outrageous quote. We'll make it a contest of sorts, with the prize being the peace of mind you have at night knowing you are a logical human being.
Good Luck!

Good stuff, and an excellent tie-in to our ongoing God series. This is clearly fundamentalism. I think, in comparison, all of us here - of various opinions as we are - come across as exceedingly reasonable.
More to your point, my favorite "What If" from the list you cited is the mysterious "...What if God is allowing Satan's deceptive power?" Well, how can the answer be anything but yes, if we're playing by these rules? If God isn't allowing it, then Satan is more powerful than God, right? It takes about five seconds for these silly questions to be revealed as complete contradictions in and of themselves. But that's what happens when you take everything literally!
Never mind the fact that the Biblical quotes are torn out of context. Excuse me, but the Book of Job was not written to justify Flat-Earth Theory. But hey, there's a spare quote, let's use it! Again, those are the dangers of literalism - in their quest to find one or two lines that suit a particular purpose, fundamentalists completely and utterly lose the spirit of the words.
Related to that, one anecdote that never fails to make me chuckle is the following: a fundamentalist began every day by turning to two passages of Scripture and living his day by their commands. One day he turned to the following two passages: "... and Judas Iscariot hung himself," and "Go and do likewise."
But apparently this kind of thinking is electable in some parts of the country. Awesome. As long as this lunacy is contained within those states, that's fine. If they want to devote all of their energies to rooting out heresy, they're welcome to it! They've got their priorities. I'm sure they won't mind if we stopped sending sinful federal money their way, yes? It only gets in the way of focusing on the real important stuff!
By the way, does anyone remember the Chick tracts? Hours of fundamentalist fun! Learn how every word of the Bible is inerrant even out of context! And all through the magic of comics!
Lord Voldemort is responsible for math?! Those crafty evil wizards!
I hope Harry makes him pay for this!
"In contrast to all those claims and the world’s acceptance of them, it will be demonstrated in this Series that the Bible’s description of the universe is backed by well-understood optically observed facts. Those facts and those Scriptures combine to shrink the size of the universe from the 15 billion light year thickness mantra of the Kabbala-derived Big Bang Paradigm to a radius of less than one light day."
So the universe is only our solar system then? And we're the only things in the universe. Ain't it nice how the bible has that working out?
I can't wait til these guys get us all enslaved by the dragon-men. I'm hoping to be a house slave. Anyone know how to say 'we sick?'
in dragon-men?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go cry myself to sleep.
I couldn't read more than a couple pages, but this is my favorite categoy heading:
"A Heavy Overdose Of Evolutionary Propaganda Thinly Disguised As A Scientific Explanation For The Rampant Obesity Problem In The USA"
You see kids, you can blame those extra pounds on that 'evolutionary lifestyle.' Find God, and you magically get skinny.
From the
"Falsifying the Geosynchronous Satellite Concept" subpage:
"Recently revealed hard facts declare that the rotating, orbiting earth theory is an indispensable component of the entire Big Bang Paradigm of 15 billion years of evolutionism. Also revealed is the fact that this evolution-based “creation scenario” was written by Rabbinic “sages” over many centuries in the Kabbala, an occult “holy book” of the Pharisee Religion. Who is ready to declare this “holy book” the correct one and align themselves with the Christ-hating Pharisee religion on the creation issue?? This subject goes to the heart of all beliefs, namely: Belief in Billions of years of evolution—with or without g’d and promoted by an anti-Christ Religion disguised as “secular science”… OR belief in six days of creation by a God with an eternal plan and resources to carry out the plan."
I must say, the color scheme on these pages is not doing any good for the feelings of nausea and dizziness I've felt this morning. Why do crazy people have to be so colorful?
