When A/S/K fails, there's always S/U/E!
"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

So, if Jesus were alive and well in Alabama, He could finally marry Peter ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It's legit though. Several witnesses claim to have seen several pigs jump of a nearby cliff.

Wait, wait - what the actual fuck?
He molested his own children and those children then gave him access to their children?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Yep.
"Jesus" told him it was a good idea.
Hey, how many catholic assholes kept turning over their kids to the church? Not so different, really.

From the article:
Quote:“So your testimony is that you continued to expose your children to the person that sexually abused you a generation before?” the defense attorney asked.
“I was a child then, he told me he had been possessed by demons, but that God had forgiven him,” the son replied. “He vowed he would never hurt anyone like that again, and that he would spend his life making up to what he’d done. I believed him.”
Twisted.
Now that I consider it a bit more, it at least provides a credible explanation for the mechanism by which a bat shit crazy family church like Westboro Baptist increases its congregation.
