Even-toed ungulates prove the Bible is mere fantasy!

Via.

The ancient Jews didn't have or use camels. Yet they're mentioned in the Bible constantly! What gives? The New York Times piece "Camels Had No Place in Genesis" explains:

These anachronisms are telling evidence that the Bible was written long after the events it narrates and is not always reliable as verifiable history. These camel stories “do not encapsulate memories from the second millennium,” said Noam Mizrahi, an Israeli biblical scholar, “but should be viewed as back-projections from a much later period.” 

Dr. Mizrahi likened the practice to a historical account of medieval events that veers off to a description of “how people in the Middle Ages used semitrailers in order to transport goods from one European kingdom to another.” 

What now? Will Christianity be discarded to the scrap heap? After all, as David Haskell asks, "To whom shall we turn for moral guidance now that the cud-chewing, even-toed ungulates have been unmasked as dissemblers?"

Hall of Fame: Lloyd Bentsen

"Why do Republicans fear debate? For the same reason baloney fears the slicer."

—Lloyd Bentsen was an extraordinary man. He was a longtime representative and senator from ... TEXAS. (And he looked

 like an elderly Carl Sagan.)

Rand Paul has no understanding of medieval history (BOOM!)

At a recent public event, Senator Rand Paul (Republican, Kentucky) told a crowd that from “Boston to Zanzibar, there’s a worldwide war on Christianity,” which our government is propping up. The way the followers of Christ are under attack today, Paul says, it’s “almost as if we lived in the Middle Ages.’’

Um… the “Middle Ages” is a term used to describe Europe from approximately 476-1350 CE. During that time, Christianity reigned supreme in Europe. It was not a time that Christians were under attack. The Middle Ages were a time when Christians were ON the attack against unbelievers!

Or to put it more simply: Rand Paul, the great mind of the Republican Party, don’t know shit.
