7. Of COURSE they are.
I don't think it's a good idea at all for them to get any of the DNA for any dinosaurs at any time ever. You know when they finally figure out they are extinct, they'll just create something horrible and claim that's it...then they'll unleash it on the world and blame gay people. You KNOW they will. :scared:

2. OMG, do you realize what this means?
We had better start our own expedition soon. We do NOT want that bunch in charge of any prehistoric creatures. Can you imagine the hellfire and brimstone they'll unleash on all us innocent victims out here? It will be worse than any Armageddon they have been dreaming about. It will be bloody and vile.

WE MUST FIGHT BACK, NOWWWW! OMG!

6. T-Rex was on the Ark with all the other dinosaurs and the mammals they snacked on.
That's why there aren't any unicorns - they had to feed the dinosaurs SOMETHING!

I know people who believe this (well, other than the unicorn part).

13. Am I the only one who found their excuse as to why raptors
where now nasty to be rolling on the floor funny? I mean, they are saying that evolution doesn't exist, then turning right around and claiming that animals can de-volve (what was their word - barminiology?). Yeah, ok then.

14. Check out their front page...
 
I must be hanging out in the right neighborhoods because I hadn't heard this before:

SECULARISM ALERT: Obama Not Sworn In Using A Bible

Jan. 21, 2009 — During the televised inauguration on Tuesday, much was made of Mr. Obama taking the Oath of Office using the Bible that President Lincoln used during his inauguration. This was done to stifle fears that Mr. Obama's supposed Christian faith was merely a calculated ruse to hide his Muslim-Atheist leanings. However, things were not as they seemed.

Mr. Obama, who is known for his oratory skill, managed to befuddle Chief Justice John Roberts by "accidentally" interrupting him before he could finish saying the opening line. This caused the Oath to be recited incorrectly by both Chief Justice Roberts and Mr. Obama, meaning that Mr. Obama was not officially sworn in that day. Instead, the official swearing-in ceremony was conducted in near-secrecy the next night (Jan. 21) in the White House Map Room. Only this time, Mr. Obama did not use a Bible! According to the AP article: "The president said he did not have his Bible with him, but that the oath was binding anyway."

While directives for the use of a Bible are neglected in the Constitution, all presidents since George Washington have been sworn in on the Word of God. Mr. Obama, by not using a Bible, has become the first Atheist President. Thus we begin slouching towards Secularism.

17. It escapes them that even if they found a pterosaur
(yeah, good luck with that) it would do nothing to disprove the theory of evolution. I suppose that's small potatoes compared with their massive delusions in other areas. Check out the "Occult" tab for their tips on getting their version of "The Word" to the children of atheist or Pagan parents, despite the parents' wishes. Who's the real threat to family values here? Sick, sick, sick. :puke:

And what the hell is a "Doctor of Theobiology" or a "Doctor of Demonology?" Anybody who visits their website should automatically qualify for a doctorate in Crazy Asshole Identification.

21. Well, you do know that Salem is "infested" with witches, right?
At least that's what they say. I don't have kids, but if I did and those assholes proselytized them against my express wishes (I'd be nice about it at first), raising hell would take on a whole new meaning for them.

23. I actually found myself going off on two NUNS once in a pizza place
They crossed the line and would not stop preaching to my children even after being repeatedly told that we are not christian and to stop.

I spend a good chunk of time in and around Salem. I'm moving to the peabody/salem line in a little more then a year.

Halloween brings out the RW crazies there.

I don't fear the preachiness as much as I fear that someday they will be harmed for our beliefs and traditions.

This is why I caution them against wearing religious jewelery outside of ritual or pagan events and not to have anything tatooed on them that would reveal their religion.

27. That's hilarious... and it's satire.
It's very well done, but take a look at some of their links, particularly the cafepress store.
