		<description>Back when I was a kid (we rode dinosaurs!), we called it shooting. Or chunky sneeze. It depended on how gross we wanted to be.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s no called &quot;shooting&quot;, it&#039;s called &quot;snarfing&quot;.  A proper snarf should be performed with milk but any fluid will do.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Question #37: If evolution is so true, then how come we haven’t evolved noses that shoot out ice cream?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Sheesh. Now we know his real problem: If he&#039;d gone to real school, not Fairy Tale Elementary, he&#039;d know that kids can shoot all kinds of things out their noses. Or maybe nobody wanted to sit next to that loser in the cafeteria.</description>

WTF??? Are you sure that any moment now this guy is not going to admit he is really an atheist and his whole scheme has been a parody all along? Or is he REALLY that stupid?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I will be the first to admit that there are problems with evolution as a complete explanation of human evolution, particularly as Comfort points out with fossil continuity&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Comfort&#039;s claims about fossil continuity are all bunk. Despite his claims, we do have transitional fossils, and there&#039;s really no stretch of fossil records that has scientists scratching their heads in bewilderment, even if there are still pieces missing.</description>

		<description>Late as usual here lately.  Cockfort ceases to amaze me in what he will say and write.  Who&#039;s going to listen to him, much less believe him, except anti-intellectual Evangelical Fundies and the Religious Reich?  I can&#039;t even imagine that an intellectual would read it.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Mr. Comfort strikes me as one of those guys that, were he smart enough to realize his error at some future time, he would not admit it and go on living off of the fairy tale heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s dedicated himself to. Why? Sheer embarrassment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You&#039;re nicer than I am. I doubt he believes jackshit about the things he&#039;s saying, but he knows there&#039;s $$$ in saying it. The people who lead the deluded are rarely anything like them.

I knew Garner Ted Armstrong, the evangelist. How? I met him &lt;i&gt;in a bar&lt;/i&gt;. He made very definite overtures to myself and a friend with me to come home with him for a threesome. Of course, GTA had been known for his troubles with sexual &quot;impropriety&quot; for nearly a decade by then.

But do you think he preached hanging out in bars and picking up barely-legal women in his spiels on TV? Of course not! Do you think getting caught hitting on coeds or being accused of sexual assault (among other things) got the fundie delusionals to cease following him the first time he got in trouble over it (mid 70s)? Or even the second (1997)? Of course not! The idiots were there for the taking, and the man I knew was far too smart not to know that.

Some of these evolution-bashers  may be perfectly sincere in their creationsim...but one rule in life usually holds true: Follow the money. When you&#039;ve made people believe in an imaginary sky friend, the pickings are ever so easy. If you could make them believe that, you can make them believe anything, like how the world&#039;s going to end if God doesn&#039;t get $100,000 by next Friday. Or that the atheists are going to make you mate with monkeys if you don&#039;t buy the book that will stop their evil science saying you are a monkey.

And it always works. Why is anyone ever surprised that it does?</description>
