[I Corinthians 6:1](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=i%20corinthians%206&version=31) is generally taken to mean, “If you have a beef with a brother in Christ, don’t file a civil lawsuit.” The capacity for the tunnel-visioned, agenda-laden Fringe to ignore the _other_ parts of the Bible, that have nothing to do with their agenda, never ceases to amaze me. ---

This is one of those situations where you try to think up a smart-ass comment, but nothing you say could be any loopier than the story itself. ---

Even _more_ hysterical, it seems they inadvertently [advocated ‘Adam and Steve!’](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/06/07/national/a175033D34.DTL) > [@](#): > > The man who plays Adam in a video aired at a Bible-based creationist museum has led a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a clothing line that promotes free love. > > After learning about his activities Thursday, the Creation Museum in Kentucky pulled the 40-second video in which he appears. > > “We are currently investigating the veracity of these serious claims of his participation in projects that don’t align with the biblical standards and moral code upon which the ministry was founded,” Answers for Genesis spokesman Mark Looy said in a written statement. > > The actor, Eric Linden, owns a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat, where he has been pictured, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site’s sexually suggestive logo. The Web site, which has a network of members, allows users to post explicit stories and photos. Bwahahahaha! ---
