Now I am truly all for the kinds of beliefs that empower people and give them hope in life, but I'm sorry, this is some scary-ass propaganda.
First, tooling around on a blog by this guy who loves the Onion, I found his link to the Creationist Science Fair (oxymoron, yes?) which has both funny winners like "Pine Cones Are Complicated" and "Pokemon Prove Evolutionism Is False" and disturbing ones such as "Women Were Designed For Homemaking".
Then I realized that this fair took place in 2001, so I was curious to see if there were any more recent 'Science' Fairs. Instead, I discovered this fascinating site update: "While closely rereading the Statement of Faith of our previous webhost, Cross Spot, we made the sad discovery that they are not firm enough in their opposition to the erroneous doctrine of triclavianism." Triclavianism is the belief that Jesus was nailed onto the cross with only three nails, which somehow has the power to transcend web hosting skills.
Additionally, I found a helpful hint for the end-of-the-month Satanic festival known as Halloween: "Consider this: At what other time of the year do throngs of unsaved children come to your door, begging for you to give them a treat? Why not use this unique opportunity to give these deprived children the best treat of all - the treat of Christ's Love and eternal Salvation?"
Wow. I'm speechless. And a little scared of the prospect of throngs of unsaved children knocking on my door...that sounds creepy.
