The ones I've met in real life just say that the devil put that carbon-14 there, I mean he's the devil so obviously he does a lot of poo poo with radiation like nuclear bombs and cancer so he's pretty good at it.

I really had them explain it that way to me once, in person.

EDIT: Not just an average shmuck, a youth pastor / priest / whatever the hell the Baptists call them. Who was talking to a bunch of little kids about the lies of science, and I was there observing with a friend who goes there regularly because his parents make him. I, being a smug gently caress teen atheist jackass, ask why he thinks evolution is incompatible with God, and I get a bunch of stares from everyone and a "you still believe in evolution?" from him. We get into an argument (which apparently he had been wanting to do for a while and enjoyed greatly) and the little kids had a bunch of questions and seemed like they had never encountered anyone who ever challenged or questioned anything they had been taught and that made me kinda depressed. It sort of ended with a draw since he had all the usual cop-out half-answers and I wasn't exactly prepared but all-in-all it was very friendly and he invited me back to do it again some time.

There's that, and there's also an element of adopting internet feminist rhetoric combined with modern chan-speak. You take the "I spermjacked 20 dudes and collected their male tears for the femperial bath" and combine it with [url="https://"http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/spaghetti-stories"]spaghetti[/url] and this and you end up with that stuff.

Twelve by Pies posted:

He probably has a thing against depicting the forbidden fruit as an actual fruit that we're familiar with, likely due to similar reasons for his crusade against most depictions of the ark.

Might be an attempt at a pomegranate, since that's what the Fruit is often said to have actually been? Either way, given his insanely literalist view of the Bible, I imagine he does indeed see depicting it as an apple as tantamount to apostasy and further evidence of the sin-cursed nature of the world.

My favorite of these argument is Andrew Schlafly's* insistence that instead of inter-body gravity being inversely proportional to the square of distance, it's inversely proportional to the distance raised to an exponent that is almost, but not quite, 2, because this somehow allows for a young earth.

Andy Schlafly is amazing. He's out-freep'd JimRob. I'm pretty sure that the number of people involved with Conservapedia and the Conservative Bible Project is less than a dozen since everyone else has been eliminated or left for failing the Andy Schlafly purity tests.

To be fair, this isn't directly because of his belief in a young earth. It's because he believes the theory of relativity is false, and that almost-2 exponent explains all the things that are supposedly evidence of relativity.

But he disbelieves relativity because it indicates that the universe is more than 6,000 years old. It's not always easy to pin the roots of his bizarre beliefs, but I think biblical literalism is a safe bet.

Man, the Charlie Hebdo thing just won't end. That said, here's an interesting article:

quote:

More than four out of 10 French people believe Charlie Hebdo was wrong to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed because they offend Muslims.
France is deeply divided over the controversial cartoons, which have prompted a national debate about the limits of free speech.

A poll released on Sunday by the Journal du Dimanche newspaper showed 42 per cent of respondents find the cartoons unacceptable, while 57 per cent believe the satirical magazine was right to disregard the opinions of Muslims who find them offensive.

Three-quarters of far-Left supporters agree with Charlie Hebdo’s no-holds-barred approach to poking fun at religion, while 51 per cent of those who back the centre-right party of the former president, Nicolas Sarkozy, think the magazine went too far.

The poll revealed that women and people under 35 were most sensitive to Muslims’ concerns.

Thinking Charlie made a mistake publishing images of Mohammed is a world different than requesting the government stop them from publishing them. It's the latter that I want to know people's feelings about.
