You still have yet to define "they" and you also haven't presented too much more than fluff...

Understanding the Creationist Propaganda Model
|
  Quote:Really? I'm a creationist, but not a "Young Earth Creationist". Really, Cat? All that means is that you know the bible is full of shit but you still need to create your own little god so you don't have to think too hard. I mean, every religion has invented a god or gods so don't feel bad about it but.... we are onto you. 
Holy fuck, I think some people need to learn the definition of propaganda.
I'm going to consider you two my own personal fluffers, k?
"They" is anybody who believes the silly shit you do.
You = they.
Damn min, you suck as a fluffer too...
You're not supposed to understand the [Young-] Earth Creationist propaganda model; it's supposed to confuse you into submission.

On one occasion, he asserted the banana is direct evidence of god's creation because it is made perfectly to fit in your hand, and fits perfectly in your mouth. Charles Darwin was totally sold on this idea, until someone handed him a watermelon.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

With the assistance of many friends I have developed a strategy for doing this,...We call our strategy the "wedge." (July 11, 2013 at 7:08 pm)catfish Wrote: Damn min, you suck as a fluffer too... Isn't that the idea?
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.'
