Oh I agree that there are all too many folks around to whom spelling and grammar are things that happen to other people. Perhaps it's just me, but the errors in this one strike me as too conveniently bad to be true, if that makes sense. Every word that you would expect to be misspelled has been. It's almost as if someone wrote it out properly to start with, then went back and tweaked it. Add to which, the whole Gish Gallop reads like a checklist of fundy clichés. As I say I'm probably over-analysing it; it reads to me like the sort of thing I might come up with myself were I to put my mind to it (though I'd like to think I'd make a better job of it). Still funny, whatever the real truth may be.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I smelled poe also. Shroud of Turin? Save your soles? At least I really hope that is a poe.

That whole entire post looks like a collection of all the creationist bumper stickers ever printed.

You know what - I don't understand quantum mechanics. I just don't. It's beyond my scope of knowledge and learning.
So whenever the conversation comes up, I just tell people that it's really dumb and that anyone who studies quantum mechanics is stupid.
