Trump is attacking the foundations of church-state separation.

Imagine if Bob of the Platitudes and Paula of the Grift had a dirty weekend together. (Reg, what is wrong with your mind?). My mind is fine but just imagine if we could resurrect several little clones of baby Jesus for them to adopt.

Reg,

A shaggy dog story from Ken Ham, the man behind the plan for the lark with the ark in the park.

Was Ken Ham trying to train police dogs to be like “Son of Sam”‘s dog and detect the Antichrist? The story is evidently a paywalled revelation.

I’m sure Ken Ham wouldn’t want dogs to be like George Carlin’s dog who ignores the TV and does what he can just because he can.

Reg,

World of Woo: RFK Jr.’s refusal to ‘give advice’ on vaccines is dangerous advice.

As strange as this sounds, he’s actually making sense, since he is not a Doctor and what medical pronouncements he has given are absurd. (I’ll even add his pronouncements against food coloring, because somewhere, somebody is going to use something really hazardous as a substitute like red ochre and Vermillion used in the Shroud of Turin.) He should also add that Trump shouldn’t have appointed me, I’m just here for the lulz.

Yesterday I played a gig at a fish camp, primarily a large restaurant/bar in the swamp with many customers arriving by airboat. The stage is adjacent to the water, and we could see several large gators stalking around the reeds. Somebody remarked “look, is that RFK Jr swimming between those two gators?

Fact is, you are not even safe in a canoe round here. We have a million gators, and they are everywhere but it still is a rare event when someone is killed.

Here is another post on the Christian cops at the Ark Encounter. I wonder if the K9’s showed up in pairs?

I would so love it if a real flood hit that area and sank that stupid ark-shaped building and soaked all the stuffed dinosaurs.

Someone once told me that they went there when it was raining quite heavily. I asked if people were rejoicing or starting to panic 🙂 To me it’s just an amusement park with only one ride…..and I have gotten years of amusement from it 🙂

This scientist’s reply to a YEC (from Northern Ireland and who thinks the world is 6k years old) is a classic.

RE the Alex O’Connor question…….what if he does murder the “potential” Christian an hour before his conversion therefore sending him to Hell for all eternity…..and then he (Alex) repents of his sins and becomes a Christian and then, one hour later, he also dies?

The non-believer sends a person to Hell, just as victim was about to become a Christian and then the repentant killer gets to go to Heaven!! Quick, find me a theologian!

There’s a snake for that. Just ask Florida.

Odd fact about alligators: Despite living in one of the least sterile environments on Earth and often suffering serious injuries including limb losses in fights with other alligators, dying from the infection of an open wound is almost unheard of. Scientists have actually been studying their immune defenses with an eye to developing drugs to treat antibiotic resistant bacteria. More here.
