Saw this on Failblog and it reminded me of some recent insanity around here...

Apparently, Publix refused to write "cum" on the cake.

Interesting factoid: Jacob graduated summa cum laude from his Christian home-school program. Wut?

Normally, graduates in Christian home-school programs get "Thank ya Laude" honors.

Only those from good Southern schools can earn that honor.

We homeschool for not religious reasons and we encounter many who do and I think I've made it pretty clear that I think people should be able to do and think and believe anything they want in the privacy of their own thoughts but..... Listening to a mom tell her kids that the museum docent is lying when she said dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.... there's a whole world out there I'll tell ya.

Well "we" all know that the fossil bones found embedded in base rock were planted there by the nonbelievers to be discovered by other nonbelievers...Right? Seems like I wasted a couple of years in college studying Geology. Everyone knows those museum docents are all about that FAKE NEWS!

I don't discuss religion with people much any more, especially not with friends and family. There are some topics that are better left off the table.

One of my more religious friends once tried to convince me that God created all of the dionsaur skeletons and made them APPEAR to be eons old so they would trick scientists into thinking they were actually that old. When I asked why the hell God would deliberately make us believe that the world was older than the biblical timeline suggests, I did not get a satisfactory answer ("it is not our place to question God's will").

If you're ever in the San Diego area, pay the Creationist Museum in El Cajon a visit. It's "dedicated to the Biblical account of science and history."

Disclaimer: you can believe whatever you want to believe; it's none of my business. My wife's a Mormon; I don't interfere with her beliefs. However, when people get belligerent with me about how stupid and wrong science is, I have a hard time keeping the trap shut.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in Hawaii. Public schools there are absolute shit, so naturally I attended private schools. My elementary/middle school was run by a bunch of bat shit crazy Lutherans. Teachers would literally harass the science teacher because she was not a devote Lutheran and taught us things about evolution, Darwinism, and how to Earth came to be in its present form. I'll never forget when I challenged my 6th grade "teacher" when we were going over the book of Genesis. (As a kid who grew up watching Land Before Time, of course it was dinosaur related) She told me that during the great flood, bones of various animals were mixed together. I think the real lesson I learned that day is Lutherans smoke the best crack.
