by Noah Sunday Thoughts: Christonuts just get more and more weird by the week. Sure, we already knew about Republican Christian types who believe the world is only 6000 years old and that our ancestors rode to work on dinosaurs. In their demented and critical thinking challenged minds, they know that's true because they saw it in The Flintstones and, for them, The Flintstones is a documentary. What? It's not just more leftist Hollywood propaganda? Anyway, some Christonuts appear to be taking their lunacy a step further, professing to believe that dinosaurs are, as their Dear Leader Donald would say, a hoax! They believe that dinosaurs never existed and, if you talk to them, they'll claim that Darwin's theory of evolution disproves them and so does the Bible because dinosaurs aren't mentioned, not on a single page or in a single verse! Or, as I would say, "Not a single God damn verse!" Enter the group that goes by the name of Christians Against Dinosaurs, or, C.A.D. Christians Against Dinosaurs is fighting to reveal "the truth" about "The Dinosaur Lie." They claim to specifically believe that the scientific community made up the very idea of dinosaurs to thwart religion. In Tucson, Arizona, C.A.D. has launched a campaign to have a lifesize model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex removed from its location outside of a local McDonalds. Perhaps the group are really a militant group of Vegan militia who just have it in for meat eaters, or, maybe they fear the dinosaur because it isn't white. In any event, they think it should go and their facebook page now has approximately 25,000 likes. A spokeswacko on the page says:
Please help! This McDonald's has this dinosaur and refuse to remove it! This is Tucson, Arizona. Call the manager and demand removal of this blasphemy!
Is C.A.D. real or a satire? Does it even matter? It's all too real and believable and good satire has an all too real ring of truth about it. The poor writing of the above quote indicates that C.A.D. might be real. Plus, it is Arizona. Months of hundred degree weather does all sorts of things to the brain. Really, with today's Christians the world over, it's hard to tell whether they're joking or not. In fact, real Christians have been doing things just like this for hundreds of years, maybe 2000 years. Well, you decide. To me it's like something right out of a Carl Hiaasen novel. Another member of the group had this to say:
Yes, the dinosaur should go unless they're willing to compromise with a plaque of some kind stating that it's a fictional character.
Sure, buddy. Whatever you say. Now can I give you a list of people I know of devil worshipers who dress up as dinosaurs to eat aborted fetuses they get directly from witches employed by Planned Parenthood.?
