I'm not going to question why you're watching "Right-wing-watch," tibbers. ;D

Still, this made me laugh more than anything. +1 to Pat for admitting the New Earth Creationist ideals are stupid...-3 for referencing shit he doesn't know fuck-all about.

That was just the seed planted to get him to question the bible. Mabye in several months we'll see him back on the show, piss drunk, and crying that the whole thing is bullwhit.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

+1 is invisible next to enormous negative score he still proudly trumpets as his reason for being.

I once met a very very old man at a trainstation in Hamburg Altona, whilest waiting for a train.

He told me about his expiriences during WW2 as a german soldier. - I listened to the old man.

He then started talking about his expiriences in WW1, as a german soldier. - I concluded that he might be a bit senile since he was to young, but still listened to make him happy.

He than told the "story" of how he during the napoleonic wars drove the French out of Germany and defeated Napoleon with a machinegun in the Prussian army, and then fucked a french princess. - I concluded, his mind had gone to shit.


Maybe that`s what happening here.
In a few weeks he`ll be talking about how god first made biscuits, out of which humans evolved and that black people are simply chocolate biscuits, How he had a boxing match with Stalin and how he saved Jesus from crucifixtion. - All while naked.

Would be poetic justice.

How does a dickhead like Robertson know whether Ussher was "inspired" or not?

Oh, right. Ussher was an Anglican not some dumb as rocks southern baptist.

I wasn't. I found the post on reddit. In any case, the USA version of "right-wing" is nothing like my version of "right-wing".
