Pentecostal Parents

[Mister Agenda]

You have the patience of a saint.

But, what are you going to do with a 78 yo? Not much.

About the only emails I get from my mid-80s dad have to do with how Obama is really from Kenya and a closet Muslim. Or how we've got to seal up the borders to keep out the Mexican hordes! That sort of thing. Occasionally, I'll get something about the evil atheist/liberal/NWO conspiracy against the US, Christians and ALL THAT IS GOOD WITH AMERICA, but those are rare.

I can probably let that sort of thing slide more than religious bullshit. I'd have trouble keeping quiet when presenting with such nonsense.

I feel your pain.

Christians aren't the only who make such claims.
I feel sorry for Panin

Yeah, hours a day for fifty years, and for what? A terribly flawed 'proof' of the Bible's authenticity.

While researching this, I found it's also popularly claimed that Panin won the Nobel Prize for Mathematics in 1943, but it seems no prize was awarded that year--that was the only part of the tale I didn't hear from my father.

Just nit-picking, but there is no Nobel prize for mathematics.

I don't mind...that certainly explains why there wasn't one.
