Christians constantly deny evolution because they claim no one has evenr personally witnessed a common ancestor become two distinct organisms.
Christians constantly deny the scientific estimates for the correct age of the earth because no one has ever been around long enough to see it.
How on earth is it then appropriate to trust ANYONE when they claim to have evidence that a particular dinosaur breathed fire? Or look at it this way: is the evidence for the age of the earth and evolution not as convincing as fire breathing dinosaur evidence?
What a fucking idiot, and what idiots the people must be to believe him.
EDIT: I agree Bam that if he at least gets rich then some good comes out of it. I am starting to think just like a politician: Hey, if they are stupid enough to pay for bullshit then lets sell more bullshit! My personal retirement plan will consist of:
1: a small church (holds 200 people, four services a month, rent is free because land is donated, church is built though fund raising, so its free, monthly TAX FREE income of about $8000.)
2: a book/s (find a scientist and use their legitimate degree as a foundation to build retarded theories upon. Evangelists make more money than scientists, so finding a science person should be a cinch. )
3: church lectures (approx $1000 an appearance, tax free. Book a tour, and stay in every city for free in donated rooms.)
4: FRANCHISE! Every city needs more ridiculous churches. If this kind of bullshit works in one town it will work in another. After a while people will throw television gigs at you, but I am aiming for a small and achievable goal of $10 000 tax free cash per month on doing basically nothing.
If you think I am joking then you don't know me.
Here is the irony: My church will be run by an atheist, the entire religious doctrine will be created by atheists, real life scientists will help create a fantastic backdrop in which to sell religion as irrefutable fact (simple reverse engineering), etc.
The this "church" will donate huge amounts of money and give back to the nearby community. It will have open doors for homeless, just like Jesus would have wanted. We will view prostitutes and beggars the same as rich business people, just like Jesus did. We will be a force to defend humanity and end wars, poverty bigotry, etc.... and this will come from ATHEISTS!
My fake church will do more good than any real church ever did. That is the challenge anyway. Lets see if it is as easy as it sounds?
