Not Our Spokesman

The fundamentalists in this country have taken to claiming that Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, who say a lot of batshit crazy things, aren't their spokesmen. Well, let's see, there's Jack Van Impe, who believes that the aliens in UFOs are fallen angels and that the Illuminati have been engaged in a conspiracy to usher in the reign of the antichrist. Or there's Ann Coulter's pal Rod Parsley, who's tells his worshippers to burn their bills and send the money to him to get out of debt.
Or there's this guy that Majikthise caught up with:

"Dinosaurs were lizards. Lizards never stop growing. That's why old alligators and crocodiles can grow to 25 feet or more. If they lived longer, they would grow even bigger. Before the flood, life lasted longer. Men lived to be 400 to 900 years old. I am sure you don't wish to embrace that thought, but if you embrace God, you embrace His word, and He does not lie. The climate changed after the flood. The earth itself burst open and poured forth floodwaters. The rift probably split the continents asunder, created the mountains, and even tilted the earth off an even 0-degree axis to a 23-degree angle to its orbit. Seasons were born, and winter is hostile to lizards. Thus the dinosaurs died out." MeInKC

So if the fundies don't want Roberston or Falwell as their spokesmen, that's okay with me. There's a sumptuous banquet of batshit crazy to pick from in their spiritual neighborhood.
