The
Rapture Index remains at 144:
Heavy Prophetic Activity. There's time to watch the Carl's Jr. ad a couple more times and still cleanse your soul for the rapture.
Here's what the Religiously Correct have been fussing about for the last week:
- A Virginia high school teacher has stopped giving extra credit to students willing to read his homemade creationist text book. It only took 15 years. "It's not like I tried to make it a secret," the teacher said. "If administrators knew, fine. If they didn't, I didn't make an issue of it." I thought doing something without telling anyone was the definition of a secret?
- The battle over intelligent design flared up in Dover, Pennsylvania. An expert witness opposed to ID says, "I think there is a God, and he is the creator of the universe. But the God of the intelligent-design movement is way too small. ... Their God is like a kid who is not a very good mechanic and has to keep lifting the hood and tinkering with the engine." I get what he's saying, but I kinda think the best argument against ID isn't "my God can beat up your God". Just for fun, Pharnygula dissects a creationist comic book.
- More and more Americans are rejecting all of the mainstream media to get their news from Christian sources. Christian news is "more pleasant" according to one woman. To Buzz Kolbe, it's about trust. "I'm not saying I don't trust CNN," Kolbe said. "But I have a tendency to trust Christians." CNN: anti-Christian or the anti-Christ? Does the distinction even matter anymore?
- Gay couples have children more to legitimize their adult relationships than to nurture the children. It's scientific fact -- to people who utterly reject science.
- Hollywood producers just don't care enough about making money anymore. Plus, those darn gays are ruining great programs by reading too much into Batman's relationship with Robin
