Fortunately, we have a way to correct this atrocity -- vote Perry and all the other idiotic "creationists" politicians out of office next election.Stuart L.

That being there are a whole raft of reasons not to make Texas a destination, but their creationist content is not one of them.<br /><br />There are actually only two reasons to visit Texas: Blue Bell Ice Cream and barbecue. They do both in spectacular fashion.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-2519269404235928202009-07-14T18:08:54.817-05:002009-07-14T18:08:54.817-05:00Now, now, crackbaby.

Just because Texas contributed a "President" to the American political system who is slightly less likely to compose a single well-formed sentence in English than an Orang-Utan, that doesn't mean all Texans' knuckles drag the ground!<br /><br />As for religious cults, all of America has been a fertile breeding ground for them. Jehovah's Witnesses began in Pittsburgh. Scientology was incorporated in New Jersey. The headquarters of Christian Science is in Boston, Massachusetts. The Mormons were organized in New York State. Madame Blavatsky's "Theosophy" was founded in New York City.<br /><br />The creationists' movement in Texas still takes in only a small minority of the populace. I know personally of very few who would confess that God created all things suddenly, ex nihilo.<br /><br />--Markagent_buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162451427358632190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-18486146774490362762009-07-12T18:58:53.908-05:002009-07-12T18:58:53.908-05:00I am ashamed of my state (Texas).

Or maybe instead of building the border wall at the Mexican border, we can just build it around Texas to contain the stupidity.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285298478359532672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-81192539492978333942009-07-12T10:58:27.277-05:002009-07-12T10:58:27.277-05:00I don't understand how people can be willfully...I don't understand how people can be willfully ignorant and justify passing it on to their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-86539813159001340382009-07-11T12:46:42.696-05:002009-07-11T12:46:42.696-05:00Too Bad for the kids of TexASS that they have to b...Too Bad for the kids of TexASS that they have to be subjected to the imbecilic ideas of magic (e.g., creationism, etc.) in place of the scientific method and factual knowledge. The dogmatic fools who are intent of pushing this BS are in it for one thing and one thing only: Power. Like any good cult, if they can wipe away past knowledge, they can replace it with beliefs that they can later mold, manipulate and exploit. <br /><br />But remember, this is ok. As long as they are teaching their own offspring this swill, they will increase the probability that those kids will not survive in our novel evolutionary environment. Go ahead, don't use vaccinces, stay away from medicine, pretend that you are immune from natural selection and take your chances that those kids will be able to compete in a world of science. <br /><br />Frankly, now there is another reason not to visit the Lone Star state in addition to the fact that they produced the worst president ever - bush. It's simply too dangerous to risk the religious lobotomy that so many fools in the South seem to have been subjected to.<br /><br />Crackbabycrackbabynoreply@blogger.com
