science vs. norse mythology

cowhead · 05-03-2005, 02:00 AM

I tried to find the evolution vs. I. Design thread.. but well.. obviously I couldn't. SO! well seeing as how I am in the middle of the hotbed of that debate being in the great state of Kansas *please note dripping sarcasm* I thought this was rather funny and I think I'll have to harass some people with it. well follow the link and take a peek if you like.

for the record I'm on the side of evolution. (and yes, I am quite aware it is only a theory)

I would like to issue an official apology to any believers in the Norse faith. I certainly have no wish to get on the wrong side of any Vikings, who historically have not expressed their grievances through letters-to-the-editor. As my friend John Patton pointed out to me, it’s a little foolhardy of me to insult the religion of a seafaring warrior people when I live right on the water.

It's funny, and I learned about Norse mythology! Learning is fun, mom!

I gotta say, I laughed at the "Well, well, well" link...

As a practitioner of Germanic Shamanism, I don't think the apology was worded anywhere near strongly enough.

You think those guys in the VISA commercial look scary?? You ain't seen scary until you've seen an entire horde screaming YOUR name with a look of blood vengence on their faces.

That was pretty good.

I'm in Kansas too. I am more inclined to believe in Evolution, also. I am pretty out of the loop on current events, seeing as I avoid them and dont watch TV. What do you mean about Kansas being a hotbed for the debate? Is something going on in Kansas?

OnyxCougar · 05-03-2005, 10:37 AM

*giggle* that's pretty funny.

Nice. I now have a good piece to spam my friends with.

If religion is the opiate of the masses, in Kansas, ignorance is the needle.

That explains all the dirty syringes I found in the yard.

I think I heard about this. Probably after I moved here. Luckily we can ignore most of the psychobabble and do our own thing. There are a lot of mennonites in this area and they seem okay...they pretty much keep to themselves. Dakota says this area supports teaching evolution in the schools (non-mennonite ones), but usually the smallest voices aren't heard (small voices from small towns). The Christian radio station, however is the only really strong signal. I have been dieing for some good music. The closest I get (which is not bad) is the local classic rock station, but they seem to play the same stuff all the time.

Elspode · 05-04-2005, 12:15 PM

It has been my experience that Mennonites are extremely hard-working, decent, mind-their-own-business folks who live what they believe. I admire that.

Troubleshooter · 05-04-2005, 01:09 PM

They work their asses off.

A friend of mine is a contractor. When he goes into an area, he checks to see if any of them live around the worksite.

cowhead · 05-19-2005, 02:16 PM

hey case.. are you living around newton/witchita? just curious, a friend of mine went to bethel (sp?) college down there, the college radio station wasn't i/2 bad..

kerosene · 05-19-2005, 03:13 PM

I am about 3-4 hours southwest of wichita.

The mennonites are actually pretty cool people. They are honest, and yes, they do work very hard. They also have a ton of money. When a mennonite gets married, he gets a large plot of land and is expected to make his living off it. They are everywhere around here, but you never hear them complain or talk down to anyone. I haven't seen one become obnocious or treat anyone badly, either. They seem to be decent, quiet people, generally speaking. I don't think I could be a mennonite, though...the rules are very rigid. All of the women wear the exact same kind of dress (in different colors and patterns) and these little black cloth thingies on the backs of their heads. All of the women have long hair put in a bun and do not wear makeup or jewelry. The men aren't quite as restricted in their dress, but it is obvious they have certain rules about appearance, too.
