Random Quote
The most serious demand for unquestioned belief is, of course, the atonement. First the believer is to suspend familiar notions of justice, such as punishment for the guilty as opposed to an innocent party. You are then expected to accept the necessity of blood sacrifice for sin; that wrongdoing must be paid for, and not necessarily in proportion to the crime. A father's sacrifice of his innocent son is supposed to be not only just but generous and wonderful. Then the temporary three-day feath of this one person is supposed to wipe out all the wrongdoing and ineptitude of a species. And finally, you should believe that all you need do to erase responsibility for your actions and enter a haven of eternal reward is to believe. It's no wonder that once a convert has wrapped his or her mind around this story, anything can be accepted as truth. The rest of fundamentalist doctrine can be easily swallowed, including Jonah.
Marlene Winell, Leaving the Fold (Oakland, CA: New Harbinger, 1993), p. 75.

That is brilliant. It says it all, doesn't it?

"For the last time, stop following me! I'm a creationist."
And so the chimp went back to acting, preparing for his next role in the Disney Tarzan movie, and the ape retreated to the San Diego Zoo where his kind were well treated by kind hearted zoologist yet snickered at by Sunday school clothed children every Sunday afternoon, but the caveman followed his bliss, went to Morris and found great comradeship in the biology department, and alas, the creationist went his merry way, eating popcorn while laughing at the latest Tarzan movie, and laughing even more at the zoo, tossing a bit of popcorn found in his pocket to the amusing ape while behind his back the attending zoologists shook their heads, and years later drove his daughter to Morris and dropped her off at the college, and let out a hearty laugh as he waved goodbye, but unknown to him and behind the glass windows an unseen professor too let out a hearty laugh, then turned to the caveman and said, "Coffee? On me!"
