The New Humanist 2009 Bad Faith Award polls are now open. Lots of unreasonable people to choose from, though my list would have been quite different. I mean, how can a list like that not have Ray Comfort on it?

My friend picked Tony Blair (I forgot to ask why) and I voted for Pope Palpetine. After the Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Vatican episode, I’m having a hard time getting him out of my head.
Oh, I think the Right disHonourable Anthony Bliar would have to be mine
This is a tough tossup between Pope Palpatine and Adnan Oktar (AKA Harun Yahya, AKA self-important boil on the intellectual ass of humanity) for me. They’re both unfortunately likely to be taken seriously by large groups of ignorant people; audiences probably orders of magnitude greater than Ray Comfort’s. Honestly, I think more atheists and agnostics pay attention to Ray these days–just waiting to hear the next way he’s going to completely ignore every counter-argument to his bullshit that’s ever been raised–than actual believers.
Gotta go with Pope Palpatine. As a former Catholic, I feel it is my solemn duty to make sure people understand exactly how evil that man actually is.
Emperor Pope-atine is in the lead.
Harun Yahya has 666 votes. *snrk*
I throw in the banana for Ray Comfort!
Pope Benedict XVI
Bliar gets my vote – an unprincipled man, a disgrace to his Party and now hiding behind the fantasy and bullshit of the Catholic Church as if “having faith” is somehow a justification for dishonesty, greed and intellectual cowardice.
I live in Bristol, so this has prompted me to do a little reading about Anthony Bush.
I’ve noticed signs to Noah’s Ark Zoo farm, and never thought it was anything other than a cute name. It did strike me as odd that anyone would set up another zoo so close to Bristol Zoo, but I figured it was filling a gap in the market for a cheaper alternative rather than stealth creationism. Crazy.
I read here that the last of Bush’s four pieces of evidence that the flood actually happened is that “dimensions of the ark were clearly given in Genesis”. Well, if that’s the criteria for evidence these days, I might email to tell him the exact length of every one of FSMs noodley appendages.
Darth Pope wins.
