I heard an interesting line in a movie tonight and I thought I would share it. It was in regards to the Catholic Church, and faith... it was from the movie Stigmata...
"We’re all blind men in a cave looking for candle that burned 2000 years ago…"
I know this was kind of pointless, but I like it so there...
also, it is kind of a spin off of Plato's, Allegory of the Cave... if you don't know what I am talking about go read the blasted story... it will be good for ya...
read it here...

do it... do it now... or I'll get Socrates to kick you in the nuts...

Goob told me that the Christian Science Museum being built in Kentucky had a big article on the front page of Sunday's paper... we laughed a little bit at the thought...
Here is the link to the articles...

I am going to re-post the article I wrote on it again undeer this...
Well...
Too busy writing my thesis to write anymore...

Silly Christian Scientists...
I believe it was the famous geologist Charles Lyell who said in 1830, “There’s no vestige of beginning, no prospect of an end…” He was talking about the timeline of the earth at the moment he was speaking. Greg Graffin of Bad Religion used this line in one of his songs No Control. He followed it up with, “When we all disintegrate, we’ll all be again. If you came to conquer, you’ll be king for a day. But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away. And believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear, you have no control…” (if I chopped any lines, sorry)Damn… I wish I had said that… but as it is, I am not that articulate….So instead I have this to say about religion…“Sometimes it is easier to give in to the metaphysics of God than it is to take time to learn and fully understand the physics of a scientist…”This is sort of what I want to discuss tonight… According to my observations, there are three different types of beliefs systems concerning the earth and its creation, and the list thus follows.Type A) is the atheistic scientist. This is a person who believes, usually, the method of creation was all coincidental and probably was due to the “big bang.”Type B) is the fundamental Christian (or other religion), who believes the Bible’s interpretation of Genesis literally. *sigh* These sad, sad folks. But they are not as sad as some of the next people I wish discuss…And that is the type C) person who is a Christian scientist. I will also categorize this category into two more types, the moronic and the lazy. Now the lazy are not half as bad as the moronic type, or as zealous as the fundamentalist. These people take into consideration the science and technology that surrounds them on an everyday basis. They see the medical advances everyday too. These people cannot possibly ignore science that smacks the hell out of their religion. So they merely adapt the science to fit their needs. They accept what is out there and as far as the rest which has not been explained or they cannot grasp, it is filled in with gOD. This is why they are the “lazy” group, they take the easy way out, and use words like faith to answer the unattainable abstract questions. Those people I can tolerate, after all most Americans can be placed within this sub-category. It is the other I cannot stand what-so-ever, and this is the moronic group. These are the people who take Christian Science a little too far.I heard the other day a group of this type of people were going to start a museum in Kentucky (don’t ask me where cause I don’t know). It is going to be a Christian Science museum like no one has seen before, with all the bells and whistles. Now a section of their museum is going to be dedicated to our extinct friends from the Mesozoic. That’s right, our big buddies the dinosaurs. What’s wrong with that, you may ask me… Well I’ll tell you what’s wrong with that. Not only will they admit there were dinosaurs (a sigh of relief and a brief murmur “finally…” from somewhere in the crowd), but they are going to show these dinosaurs to have lived during the same time as Homo sapiens! That’s right, not just a human ancestor, but Homo sapiens. They are going to have a display with a triceratops wearing a saddle, on top riding and standing next to it will be our good friend Johnny Caveman. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE… JEESH… A SADDLE? I mean come on. Do I need to explain further why they’re sub-category has been dubbed moronic? Let them show me a fossil record where a humanoid, let alone a sapien is laying anywhere near the remains of a dinosaur. Hell near anything fossilized from those millennia, and I might reconsider then. I will give them credit for the saddle, because we will assume that it is made out of animal hide (probably from a stegosaurus) and that will have disintegrated long ago. Silly Christian Scientist… I can’t help but to feel sorry for them (as they probably do me). Darwin will turn in his grave when the doors of that Christian Science (Fiction) Museum open for business.As I started this blog with a quote, so shall I end with one, as Earl Pitts said, “WAKE UP AMERICA!”
