The Weirdest Book I Ever Got
You guys gotta check this out!
I almost swallowed my gum when I saw this.

This is from the blog The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal about the weirdest book he ever found.
****
A Creationist's View of DINOSAURS and the Theory Of Evolution

"It had a big dinosaur skull on the cover, and was drawn and written quite competently. The graphic novel featured the author — a balding, white-haired, mustachioed guy in a turtleneck, if the pictures were to be believed — showing all the evidence of dinosaurs, with scanned-in photos next to huge blurbs like "CARBON DATING IS A HIGHLY FLAWED AND IMPERFECT SCIENCE!"

The thing is, he wasn't anti-dinosaur. He spent a lot of time confirming the existence of dinosaurs, then moved to quotes like "Behold the behemoth which I made with thee…. (Job 40:15) and "He moveth his tail like a cedar…." (Job 40:17). This, in turn, was proof that dinosaurs existed — and furthermore, they breathed smoke and fire, just like God said they did.

Weird. But not over-the-top. He seemed normal until I got to this panel:




Yes, that's correct; he has the theory that dinosaurs, enraged by fallen angels, attacked Noah's Ark as the flood began in a no-holds battle to the finish.

And yet that was not enough. He illustrated it for a possible movie, claiming it would be far more exciting than Jurassic Park."
*****

Here is a couple of the pictures, the rest are on his website.

1. Uh, um, well, I, ah...
I really don't know what to say. That's some of the weirdest f'ed up shit I've ever seen a cretinist put out there. And that's saying a lot.

2. But...but...
..the bible plainly says a pair of all the animals were aboard the ark. What happened to the dinosaurs that were aboard the ark? Did the bible lie or did all the dinosaurs just "happen" to go extinct soon after the flood subsided???? Pretty poor planning on god's part, no?

"Welcome to America. We're proud of our non-surgical lobotomies! Want one? Just attend a fundamentalist church of your choice."

3. I think they went the way of the unicorn...
Which reminds me of the song back in the 60's by an Irish group!

4. There's a reason they did this one in comic book format
I mean, they have to know the mental age of their followers, right?

6. Makes sense to me.
Especially after I repeatedly tap on my forehead with this 2 pound hammer.
