Parrenting FTW

Have you heard about the parents who are seeking legal action against a supermarket because they refused to write out their child's full name on his birthday cake? Did I mention the kid's name is Adolf Hitler Campbell?

Seriously. I couldn't make this shit up.

Oh, and he has two sisters. JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell. How charming.

Creationism is not based on logical thought.

As most of you know, I am moving to Fayetteville to attend graduate school this fall.

I traveled down yesterday to look at apartments, which involved picking up a copy of the local paper. Along with an ad for a two bedroom apartment for 375 (which I now have a deposit down on), I found this lovely gem:

Logic provides answer

Who made them, the sun, the moon, the wind, the soil and our environment ? If our sun were significantly smaller or was farther away, the Earth would freeze. If our sun were significantly larger or closer to the Earth, we would fry. If our moon didn't stay in its fixed orbit, there would be no tides, our oceans would stagnate and sea life would die. If the moon's orbit was closer to the Earth or was larger, the ocean tides would flood the largest part of the Earth every day. Who was the designer of these things ? If you have a favorite shirt and wanted another just like it, you could order one from the manufacturer that had made it. Or would you just wait and see if it could make itself for you ? Logically, there was a designer and a manufacturer of the shirt. Logically, there is a designer and the one that made our Earth, the sun, the moon and our environment.
DAVID PHELAN / Fayetteville

Oh my god. I really am moving to a land of stupid.

I tried to tell myself that it was ok. That it was a college town. That the program was worth it.

I have to admit, this is scaring me.

I sent in this response:

Recently David Phelan claimed that logical thought supported Creationism, incorporating all of the observations and evidence we have.

The idea that the Earth was created special ignores Hubble's image of the Fornax Galaxy Field. This picture of a chunk of sky smaller than the moon contains 10,000 galaxies, each with billions of stars holding planets where abiogenesis (life) could occur with no need for a creator. A rudimentary understanding of biology shows that following abiogenesis, animals and plants have evolved to fit the world we live in. We have thousands of examples of animals adapting to the changing environment.

We cannot show one instance where our environment has adapted to help us. In fact, the world often hurts and kills humans. Surely hurricanes, drought, and cancer would not exist in a perfect world. However, all of these things are explained if we are adapting to a random planet.

On a planet which is one of billions, where abiogenesis is possible, and humans adapt but the world does not, an intelligent creator becomes a much less logical conclusion.

A repackaging of William Paley's watchmaker analogy fails to take into account our understanding of evolution, abiogenesis, and solar system formation. His argument failed in 1802, and today it withers against the mountain of evidence we have against such creation stories. It is not logical, in fact it clings to our previous explanations, failing to even acknowledge the world it is supposed to explain.

Really? I am really moving to ARKANSAS??

Confederate Flag Museum.

Around here there is a lot of different opinions about the Confederate Flag, and what it stands for. This sort of sums up the entire pro-flag end of the argument, presenting itself in complete typecast glory. The speaker, Marion Lambert, is just the "Lipstick on the Pretty Lady", if you will.

God Warrior on Trading Spouses

The Christian mother freaks out when she gets home from trading families... this is equally hilarious and frightening.



In this vid, the other mother gets attacked by the other family's mean Christian friends.


In this vid, the two moms meet.

If you take birth control you will get a disease or die!!!1!

Abstinence-only education? This bitch is going down.



And she's going to be in town... oh snap!

Brother Jed Photos Continued

See a slideshow of the rest of Day 2's photos along with Day 3 photos (which might be the best of the bunch) by clicking here.

Brother Jed on campus - Day Two

As Amber already mentioned in an earlier blog, we did JedFest yesterday, raised a lot of moneys for Heifer International and bought rabbits and chickens for some hungry people thanks to it. Awesome awesome awesome. We worked with Brother Jed and it paid off for six families in impoverished parts of the world.

But today, things were back to normal.

Sister Pat says, "What? What? In the butt?"

Casey (right) says, "Hey, how are you today?"

Sister Pat (left) says, "Are you looking for attention? Your parents must not love you. And by the way, your belly button is showing and that's indecent. Boys are going to try to get in your pants!"

Sex??? Oh noes!!

Sister Pat asks, "Are you a virgin?"

This guy replies, "Yes. I mean, no. I have a kid."

After Ryan says he will convert to Christianity if Brother Jed gives him evidence as to why Christianity is more likely to be the one true religion over other religions, Brother Jed says, "Blah blah bible. Blah blah faith. Blah blah sin. Blah blah bible."

Ryan has a question.

Ryan says, "So can you give me evidence."

Brother Jed says, "I'm giving you evidence. Blah blah bible! Blah blah faith!"

Ryan says, "Shenanigans!"


Japheth and Ryan barbershop quartet some hymns for Brother Jed.

More photos coming soon.
