Can we just laugh at Ken Ham for a bit?

[Esquilax]

How "okay" could he be? He was standing on line to get into the fucking creation museum. Apparently even "god" thought he was an asshole.

Actually, to make the message even clearer, apparently the dude was a worker at the museum, attending to their new zipline attraction.

There's an infamous video clip which I won't post but which is freely available if anyone has the stomach to look. He is indoctrinating a lecture hall full of young children and the clip shows him prompting them for the responses he wants. The exchange goes like this:

---

Ham: Have the scientists always been there?

Kids: No!

Ham: No... who's always been there?

Kids: God!

Ham: Who should you trust first, God or the scientists?

Kids: God!

Ham: God! And I want you to remember that!

Emphasis mine.

Yeah, it gives me bad, bad shivers every time I hear/see that particular clip..

On the plus side, Kay, many of us were subjected to that kind of group indoctrination when we were kids and we eventually saw it for the horseshit it is.

Apparently even Zeus thought he was an asshole.

Fixed that for ya.

I guess someone forgot to mention to this turd that the Bible isn't reliable as evidence for anything or else we should also take stock in the existence of Wizards and Hobbits in Middle-Earth.

Fuck you, Middle-Earth is real. Have you even bothered to read The Silmarillion?

[Bad Writer]

It was only slightly more enjoyable than the Bible.

[NoraBrimstone]

And about a bajillion times harder to understand.

Let’s get this out of the way: I really hope the person hit by the lightning bolt is okay.

How "okay" could he be? He was standing on line to get into the fucking creation museum. Apparently even "god" thought he was an asshole.

He is an employee actually. But I wouldn't gloat if he had been seriously injured either. When my husband woke me up to tell me about it, my first thought was that maybe a child had been hit by lightning which would not be cool at all. I'm glad it was an employee and not a kid.

So anyway, today I saw an article by the National Center for Science Education comparing the creationist crapshack to another local museum. Their point being that the latter is not a museum at all. Good point but it's actually something else that pissed me off. They mention that an employee of the museum was reprimanded after stating from his own personal Facebook account that the creation "museum" is not a museum. He didn't say anything that should be controversial or shocking. I work for a science museum. Why should we have to censor ourselves for ignorant morons like Ken Ham? I'm very careful about what I say while at work but apparently I can't even let anyone know I work there on my own personal time lest I offend some stupid shit creationist.

Appearently Jove has had enough of the pernicious myth of Jehovah and sent a lightning bolt straight to Ken Ham's minions:

There's good money in fooling the already deluded masses. I suspect that some of these mega-christians are in it for the money alone. I'd go so far as to say that the richest among them might even be atheists.

This speaks volumes!

Yeah, it says you are a moron fit only to be fleeced by the wise.

[Something completely different]

What kind of a last name is "Ham"?

Are there also Bacons, Schnitzels, Meatloafs, Sausages and Kiwis in New Zealand?
