GIP!

I don't make too many of my own icons. Mainly because I'm never pleased.

This one is special though *g*

raelala has delighted these past few days in sending me all kinds of pictures of the Creation Museum in Kentucky and asking questions like "If dinosaurs were on THE ARK then why did they go extinct?"

She does this knowing that Creationism is the one topic that will have me foaming at the mouth within moments and leaves me cursing at my computer whilst making strangling motions.

Anyways, we found out from this lovely little site (gag) that I'm what's considered a "Compromised Christian" as I believe such silly little things like the earth is 4.5 billion years old and that dinosaurs went extinct some 65 million years ago. You know, such LUDICROUS ideas. For real LULZ (or in my case RAGE) read this article: Dinosaurs and the Bible. It's truly mind boggling.

So yes, I'm going to be proud of my "Compromised Christian" status if this is the kind of bullshit being promoted.

Miss you. Should have internet tomorrow if you believe AT&T. Brutus has owner, neighbor. Real name is Lugnut it seems.

I've missed you!! Your lack of internet I do not approve of.

Brutus' real owner needs to take better care of their cat

I've missed the hell out of you, too! I mean, really. Who else can I talk to about stupid shit? I don't approve of my lack of internet, either. It's ridiculous. AT&T sent me the stuff for my modem....without the modem. No. Really. I just. It boggled. I ordered it and the modem (called even to make sure!) and managed to not get my wireless modem. It boggles the mind.

Well, she does. She called the minute he came home. He's not very quiet about going out. I mean, tomcat yowling. So I can see why they gave in. She called me up going "my cat came home with your number on his collar?" and I explained. She completely understood and was glad I made sure he was okay and such. Apparently he just walks into people's houses. It's his neighborhood and makes sure to let everyone know.

And I wrote this up, hit send....and my fucking college network goes down to. I swear to god, I'm so tired of people fucking around with networks. I mean, what the hell, people? All I want to do is check me email, get my homework assignments for teh week, but NO, the IT people decide that 5:10pm is the VERY PERFECT time to fuck around with people's internet shit...at school! Because, hey, we don't have homework assignments or anything. I think messing around at like 9:30 would be a smarter time, as most classes are done around then. But oh no. I didn't do a whole bunch of shit so I could register for classes...to find out I can't use the goddamn internet at school!

OMG. *mind boggles* Reading that web site made me laugh at first .. and then slowly came the rage! I just. Wow. *shakes head*

I KNOW! And they teach this to kids!!!!

I can't even enjoy the stupid any longer, I just go straight to HULK!SMASH

That's what really gets me ... Believing the insanity is one thing, but passing it along to children??

I actually knew a family once that pulled their kids out of public school and homeschooled them because *gasp!* they were being taught evolution. Well, that, and one of the kids got in trouble for referring to a gay person as a fag. which the mother thought was perfectly acceptable. I don't even know.

I went to a Private Christian School that taught no evolution and taught this brand of Creationism. I can distinctly remember the first time someone ever brought up the idea that maybe it took more then 6 days to make the world and how horrified I was that people didn't take Genesis literally. I've changed my tune a bit since then *g*

It's one of the reasons I'm so against teaching this to kids. I was taught it and it really is not a valid theory and it tends to stifle scientific curiosity...

Since when is name calling EVER acceptable? Some people should just not breed...
