What we clearly need, in light of that survey, is a Trojan Jeebus horse!
This is so ridiculous that I’ll pit one small detail in the story that has nothing to do with the fundie creationist nutbars.
Rural Kentucky? Bitch, please. This place is just barely outside metro Cincinnati. Might seem rural to a hardened city dweller, but come down here where you’d have to drive almost two hours to get to the nearest Starbucks and you might see the difference.
Ain’t gonna happen. First of all, the Catholic Church opposes the use of such devices on moral grounds. Second, you just try getting that thing on him when he’s feeling randy; I guarantee he will not be amused.
The pope’s statement reiterated the position of the church that the creation of the universe has “design” (as in, it fullfills some plan of God). Nothing that the pope has said actually supports the particular American species of (capitalized) Intelligent Design that requires a belief of direct divine intervention in the process of evolution. The antecedent to the pope’s statement was an op-ed article in the New York Times in which an Austrian Cardinal Schonborn (egged on by the Institute for Creation Research), laid out a claim for (lower case) intelligent design. Cardinal Schonborn, who was later made aware of the particular agenda of the ICR and the peculiar American turn of the phrase “intelligent design,” has since clarified his remarks to indicate that there is nothing in Evolutionary Theory that is inconsistent with church teachings.
A quick synopsis of the various church positions can be found at Michael J. Ghedotti’s page.
So is Lilith in this museum? Do Lilith and Eve have a Dynasty-style fight in a pond?

Stuff in cheese is milk.
Goat milk?
Umm… yeah. Ixnay on the paid moderators. Seriously, we have dam*ed near the most perfect moderation I’ve ever seen on any Internet forum of any kind. No use changing the soda mix to water ratio on our moderation…
No, am all out.

And that you give them money. And that you bring in your children to be brainwashed into believing their hogwash so that they can inflict themself onto another generation.
It’s not just The Church, actually. It’s all churches and all religions.

It helps if the dinosaur puts out.
Arise Lazarus! Hate to bring this back as a zombie but I have a little story to give it a soul.
I was at a bit of a party a while back and it turns out the hosts of the party are brilliant artists, sculptors to be exact. Their line of business involves freelancing hyperreal sculptures for the animatronics industry. I would call these artiste/sculptors, Composite Cybernetic Skinners, but then again I’m pretentious like that.
So, I get a peek in their studio and there is this insanely realistic, not quite finished clay sculpture, of a full nude male, with perfect proportions. I am amazed! Some of the fine detail they have done is so far beyond any stone sculpture that I have seen that I am just blown away. What an incredible piece! Who is he? That’s Adam, says he–Turns out they are sculpting The Adam for the Creationist Museum’s Garden of Eden exhibit!
A few of us are admiring his incredible lines, the hyperrealistic musculature, and the painstaking detail right down to the veins in the forearms. Magnificent! Just so real! You guys are good! Advanced Anatomy! But then I notice some things are conspicuously absent for such an incredibly real specimen of the first man. He has no belly button, says I! Turns out that is a doctrinal specification for creationists-- Adam is absent a navel! Well, I get it, I can see the creationist logic in that. Seems kind of weird to me, personally, but not as weird as the fact that this creationist Adam is also minus a Penis.
The irony is just so fucking ideal for the animus of this Creationist Museum. It’s just fucking crazy!
