isn't the south a wonderfull place?

So what sect are these guys from?

I rather like the part about how evil all non-King James versions of the Bible are Satanic. Are they aware that the Bible was not originally written in English at all?

I don't think it's a joke. WAY too much effort for a joke. It's ranting, raving, and plain stupid, but it's done too well to be a joke.

I think some people should enjoy this website for the degree to which the author(s) hate the Catholic Church.

If you've ever been in contact with rabid Christian nutters, like I have, you'll know that there are people that think like this.

How many others were mentally playing High On Fire and headbanging whilst reading this?

Hehe, yes .

Did any UK posters see that debate on creationism Sunday morning, got me right riled up, it did.

And I think it's necessary that kids learn it so that they're aware of both scientific and biblical accounts on creation, and then they can come to their own conclusions and theories about the world. Creationism is also something I think everybody should learn at one point in life.

Basically, I think evolution should be left to science classes, anthropological studies, etc. while creationism should be left to religion classes, churches, etc. Because creationism is a faith, and evolution is a scientific theory (and, contrary to what some may say, I believe God and Science can and do coexist). Seperate issues/topics that should be left to seperate learning environments

I agree with you this far. If both are taught without bias by intelligent people capable of answering the inevitable questions (and that's a hurdle too far, probably...) and the children make the decision what to believe rather than their parents... progress.

I tend to agree with Dawkins about religion and science actually co-existing - if you truly believe in an immortal paradise that can be attained by following a certain lifestyle, then you'll never have a truly scientific way of mind, there'll always be that vital little part of your mind closed off...

From a strictly practical perspective, I don't see how believing in heaven (or God or hell or whatever) prevents anyone from being scientific. It's like trying to research the universe's state prior to the Big Bang - it is impossible to know and so it becomes a known unknown, basically left alone because there's nothing you can do about it.
