Quote:How can you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
Yeah that sure sounds like convincing someone to commit suicide to me.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

They should spend more time monitoring Christian pop/rock. The little I've heard had me contemplating extreme measures to make the pain stop. Friends had to take away my belt and shoelaces.

Heh...Styx. WTH?
The former. That and a complete misunderstanding about the song "Fooling Yourself (the Angry Young Man)" (word in the church world was that it was Satan urging kids to kill themselves).
You can't make this shit up.
Wow!!!! Styx being misunderstood??? I did not think that was possible. I wonder how long it will take to say that Simon and Garfunkel were possessed by satan?

Reminds me of that john todd guy that started the whole rock and roll is satanic bit in the early 70's.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Quote:169 of 187 people found the following review helpful
Very helpful but only for retards!
By Kyria Abrahams on November 16, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Unfortunately, I purchased this product with the intent of teaching an able-bodied child about our Lord and Savior. Guess how well that went? Well, shortly after our second bible study, the child began to behave strangely. He requested pudding, and I gave it to him. He walked into a wall and dropped the pudding. I think we all know what transpired. Yes, the child came to know God, but the child is now retarded. I accept full responsibility for my mistake and I have prayed for the Lord's unlimited forgiveness. I have given this book five stars with the caveat that it should only be used for retards. May the infinite blessings of our white Christian Lord and Savior be with you and with your white families.
That was the most helpful reveiw. I'm not sure if they were trolling or if I should cry.

That review is pretty fucking awesome.
"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould
