Mr Deity accidentally calls Pat Robertson…do NOT tease the zealots.
Listen to the whole thing for his apology for the last episode — I think he felt a little heat.
It features a philosopher who thinks he has overturned science on the basis of a shallow examination and a bad analogy. I think it’s Stephen Meyer.
NPR asked kids and young people that question. I rather liked the young lady who said “I stopped believing in the hairy man, when I stopped believing in the Bible“. Very good!
Bad news, gang: we’re going to have to give up on all of science because cranky human beings came up with it.
For those of you who haven’t been following the story line, Mr Wiggles, the sociopathic teddy bear, has recently filled in for God, and really messed up the universe. Only not really — it was all just a dream. But at least it has a happy ending.
It makes me happy, too.
Those evilutionists! Do they have to taint everything?
You can get that on a evolutionmas card, too. Perfect for giving Aunt Petunia conniptions.
It puts it all in perspective, doesn’t it?
There is the unfortunate fact that most Americans would probably regard Kirk Cameron as a legitimate authority, rather than a whiny and arrogant clod with delusions of competence, however…
We’ve had an infestation of insane trolls today who have babbled incoherently about who knows what…I think Keith Knight has captured them perfectly.
Uh-oh. This episode of Mr Deity will fire up some denunciations. Take a deep breath, and remember, he’s satirizing religious attitudes.
Listen through to the end, though — he has an excellent suggestion. This weekend is Thanksgiving, and instead of sitting through another football game, put a Mr Deity episode on, and get the whole extended family talking about irreverence. Come on, it’ll be fun! There might even be a food fight!
