Eric Hovind is powerfully stupid
The retarded apple doesn’t fall far from the ignorance tree. The sad thing about Eric is even in his speech, he demonstrates some basic understanding of evolution, but like his dad, he’s already made up his mind his book of fairly tales is correct, and wants desperately to “prove” it. That explains the mind-numbingly dumb idea that dinosaurs were walking around a few thousand years ago, and some still exist in “The Congo somewhere”. Why not embezzle some money like your dad and make an expedition down there to prove it. If we’re all a little lucky you’ll contract some exotic disease that’s the product of evolution as poetic justice.
“Most evolutionists believe in evolution because the only alternative is the Bible”. Yeah, he’s got us so pegged, Eric! How did you get so knowledgeable?

“If we’re all a little lucky you’ll contract some exotic disease that’s the product of evolution as poetic justice. ”
So, because you don’t like a person and think he is stupid, you believe justice is them dying from an exotic disease? How is this any different from someone hating a gay person and wishing them dead? I think what you are saying is worse. At least this person can maybe one day deconvert before dying but a gay person can’t.
Very classy. I didn’t know your bigotry went this far, Jake.

Get a fucking sense of humor Brandon. Seriously.

“that some still exist in “The Congo somewhere”.”
More proof that these people have little to no understanding of basic biology. I don’t care unexplored “the Congo” is, you simply cannot hide a breeding population of multi-ton 2+ story tall dinosaurs. I don’t think the Hovinds understand that a viable breeding population would require dozens of dinosaurs all in a relatively small area, each of which would require a prodigious amount of food each day. You would think that at least one of the many expeditions to explore that area would have noticed.
@ Brandon
I’m sorry but I failed to notice where Jacob wished anyone dead. Catching an exotic disese is not necessarily fatal and jumping to the conclusion that joking about someone catching one means the they wish that someone dead is reaching at best.

The big ones were big, the little ones were little.
Brilliant!
Brandon
Maybe I am overreacting a little. And you’re right, catching a disease doesn’t necessarily mean death.
Let’s look at this from a different angle. Let’s supposed there is a guy named Joe, who is gay. He is being interviewed by someone in which he explains why he is in support of gay marriage. Someone then posts a video of the interview on their blog, makes fun of Joe, calls him stupid for believing the way he does, then says “If we’re all a little lucky maybe Joe will contract HIV.”
How is this different than what you said about a Christian?

How does sexual orientation compare to personal religious preference?

“How does sexual orientation compare to personal religious preference?” -Brennan
Because both religious people and gay people are hated by bigots and have been persecuted.

How many fallacies and straw men can you fit on the head of a Hovind?

@Brandon Context and posting history makes a difference. The tone of this blog and its readers does not lend itself to accusations of inciting violence; perhaps you meant to make that comparison on Glenn Becks/Sarah Palin/The Vatican’s website.
Brandon
Of course this site doesn’t incite violence. I never made that claim. What I said that comments such as Jake’s lend themselves to bigotry. This site is full of it from Jake and most of the commenters.

Tax laws allow churches to provide a housing allowance for their clergy. As such, clergy are allowed to deduct housing expenses from their taxes while also deducting mortgage interest from their taxes. In effect they get a double tax deduction that nobody else gets to enjoy. Call it a religion tax break that the rest of us have to subsidize.
It’s perfectly legal and in this bad economic climate where taxes are getting raised and social services are getting cut, the religious tax break isn’t even discussed.
