Only $4.95 (plus $1.00) for shipping. I'm disgusted.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Damn! Why didn't I think of that?!
I'm a great letter-writer who can screeve blather and bullshit with the best of them. I think their rates are a little low, though. I'd want better money.

A little background:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/printedition/chi-0409290213sep29,1,749626.story
quote:
God's ghostwriter drives a black convertible, smokes Tareytons and gives tarot readings in the kitchen of her suburban townhouse.
quote:
She's learned a little off the televangelists and is making six bucks a pop off it," said Rev. James Halstead, chairman of religious studies at DePaul University who also teaches a class on religious worlds in comparative perspective. Pearl has written, above God's name, "how very proud and honored I am to have Mike sitting here beside Me" to the family of a soldier killed in action. The letter to children of servicemen urges them to "listen to Mom and help guard the home front. Be good, keep busy, study hard and pray often. Be brave young troops."
In the letters to military personnel "God" writes that they "epitomize all that is good and clean and pure about humankind. Much like my own Son."
quote:
Pearl contends she has been an instrument of a higher power for almost 40 years. Her grandmother, a psychic, instructed Pearl in the reading of tarot cards and, Pearl said, she has been performing readings since she was 19.
So she's a serial quack. I'm not sure what's more amazing, that someone would actually offer this service or that someone would buy it. Hmmm. Wonder if I could get her to send a letter from god to Hovind telling him he's going to hell?

Or better still, a letter from God to Hovind telling him that the ToE is dead on and to please shut the fuck up. All that racket is drowning out Oprah.

What came first the chicken or the egg?
How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?
There are no atheists in foxholes
Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4
II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!
Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?
Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.
We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.
"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."
