I hope so. Leader of the lexboro manlove church is my fallback career if I don't suceed in the industry.

Oh gross. I had to shut that off after watching a minute of it after he said Bill Nye is trying to turn kids away from God.

Fuzz has idiots for friends, people are like, "Here's what to do about your friend" but at one point someone mentioned politics. Politics is understood to cause trouble when it comes to creationists for more than just evolution. Go through a few pages of how gay is/isn't a choice. God made everything. Trolls. At one point I think I tried to get Alien to rationally think why he opposes something rather than just appealing to authority (results may vary). Other than that, it's pretty much Alien going "God made errythang 6000 years ago" with creationist websites to cite (I think his parents block scientific websites) and everyone else going, "No".

Ah so there's just one person who believes in Creationism. I don't feel the need to contribute anymore, if he's not willing to change his views period then even appealing to him from a theological standpoint is not going to work.

Unfortunately this is correct.

To his defense, there there is a big difference between being an idiot and being taught something silly when you are easily susceptible at a young age.

For example:
Scaring you into religion?

EDIT: Best viewing age, 12!

Yeah, the thread started more as creationism vs science and how to talk about it...

This comic is perfect on many levels. (Boulet's comic blog is brilliant anyway, he's my favorite french person).
