    Don't you know that God created everything in six days, the world's only 5000 years old, and dinosaurs are planted hoaxes?

    There aren't too many places in the English speaking world where that comment would get a "-1 flamebait".

    I guess American Christian Fundamentalism and Islam aren't that far apart after all.

    I think about the only difference is that Islam proscribes family photographs.

    Evolution is just as much a religion as Creationism.

    It just gets better.

    I'm heading for -1 Offtopic or -1 Flambait too I guess.
