Hilarious interview on Fundie radio yesterday...

[onager]

As I've mentioned before, whenever I can't find any good music (often!), I'll listen to the local Fundie radio station for laughs.

Yesterday was a real hoot.

The station had a guest who has been doing an archeological dig somewhere in Jordan.

He claims he has found the actual, no-kidding location of Sodom. He found it by using Bible geography - IIRC, because Lot was told to "go East" from some location and pitch his tent in Sodom. The guest was annoyingly vague, as usual - since depending on where Lot was, he could have gone East and ended up in Babylon, Baghdad, Beijing. Or I guess if he went far enough East - Bayonne, NJ.

Two things really leaped out at me:

1. The Fundies have discovered science! The guest was whining about how the evil skeptics won't accept his theories. They insist that some of the stuff he dug up is too new to belong to a Bronze Age town.

The host immediately asked if he had used Carbon-14 dating on the objects.

Now I've heard this same host, more than once, denigrate C-14 dating as TOTALLY UNRELIABLE when used to prove evolution. Funny.

2. There's a conspiracy! Well, of course there is - conspiracies and Fundie Xianity go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

At least this one was somewhat original. According to the guest - who I suspect has an impressive collection of rejection slips - the Evil Secular Publishers just refuse to print his ground-breaking archeological findings about Sodom.

Because they're only interested in publishing stuff that attacks Xianity. And they're actively suppressing any scientific evidence that THE BIBLE IS TWUE!!!

Never mind that just about every major publishing house has a "Christian" publishing division, some of them involving very large buyouts of existing Xian publishing companies by Sodomites...er, I meant New York-ites.
