Holy Mary mother of mercy (if you’ll pardon the expression)! I thought I was past being shocked by the culture warz . . . but these people have an actual, tax-payer supported municipal police officer guarding their God-movie from the Satanic eyes of skeptics? And . . . and . . .they apparently possess a gallery of photos of evil-thinkers who must not be admitted lest another dozen folks get dropped off the rapture list? But despite being control-freaky past the point of pathology, they’re so pathetically incompetent at it that they let slip past them a man who surely has the mark of the Beast stamped all over him in day-glo colors? Ohh, funny . . . scary . . . sad . . . funnyscarysad . . . my head hurts.

Dawkins: Theses are not the positivists you are looking for.
Keystone Kop: You’re not the positivists we’re looking for.
Dawkins: Move along.
Keystone Kop: Move along, move along.

lol.
Made my morning, ya did!
I haven’t read PZ in quite a while (he’s too strident for my tastes, actually), but this was just PRICELESS.
Atheist conference: $150
Chumming with Richard Dawkins: $450
Being thrown out of creationist movie, when Dawkins was let in: PRICELESS.
lol, PZ killz

Paradoxically, this episode supports the existence of a God. A subtle God; a finesse player; a wit. A God who would multiply not only the loaves, but a fab salmon-based dip.

Chris,
This is off topic, but I didn’t know where else to put it. I got your book yesterday and have already read it (I’m a fast reader and didn’t put it down). It’s a wonderful tribute to your best buddy. I found your site just about the time Zeke died and I cried along with you then as my own dog had died not too long before that. It’s a moving and beautifully written tale and I’m glad that you decided to write it. Best to you and Becky (oh yeah, the bunny too!)

Ah, what a lovely way to kill a Friday afternoon, reading all over the web about this hilarious occurrence. It couldn’t have been any more perfect if it had been scripted ahead of time! :)
