Creationists are having a bit of a comeback, with the DUP forming part of the British government and Liberty beating Baylor.
I hadn't heard about this. And although I'm no fan of Liberty and the Falwells and their utterly fscked-up way of looking at the world, I had to admit some humor at Baylor losing to Liberty given all that Baylor was willing to tolerate and sweep under the rug to have a winning program, such as their football players running around sexually assaulting anyone with a vagina. So I was amused by little Liberty beating Baylor . . .until, after reading your post, I went and read a news story about it and discovered that after Baylor's A.D. lost his job in the wake of the sexual assault scandals at Baylor, he immediately got a new job . . .at Liberty. I guess Liberty's conception of Christian values doesn't include the idea that sexual assault is, you know, bad. Just like Baylor wasn't too concerned about the women victimized by their players. They shoulda called it the Rapist Bowl. I used to love major college sports as much as I loved anything. Now, with what its fans (and consequently the schools themselves) are willing to accept and ignore in order to win, I've grown to hate major college sports.
Well, the Bible doesn't actually explicitly condemn rape (or pedophilia). If you rape a virgin you have to pay her father and then marry her - it's the biblical thing to do!
In many statehouses they're trying to at least get you a shot at legal child custody and the ability to stop an abortion if you end up being a rapist father - so we're almost there Liberty is whack in every way; scummy place.
It's the end of the world as we know it.... This time.. For sure... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...blical-doomsday-claim/?utm_term=.7d4395f5fe3d To make clear, Meade said he’s not saying the world will end Saturday. Instead, he claims, the prophesies in the Book of Revelation will manifest that day, leading to a series of catastrophic events that will happen over the course of weeks. “The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending,” he said, adding later: “A major part of the world will not be the same the beginning of October.” Meade’s prediction has been dismissed as a hoax not only by NASA scientists, but also by people of faith. Ed Stetzer, a pastor and executive director of Wheaton College’s Billy Graham Center, first took issue with how Meade is described in some media articles. “There’s no such thing as a Christian numerologist,” he told The Post. “You basically got a made-up expert in a made-up field talking about a made-up event.… It sort of justifies that there’s a special secret number codes in the Bible that nobody believes.”
“There’s no such thing as a Christian numerologist,” he told The Post. “You basically got a made-up expert in a made-up field talking about a made-up event.… It sort of justifies that there’s a special secret number codes in the Bible that nobody believes.” A professional theologian inadvertently describes religion in a nutshell...
