Here's a Good Thursday Morning Amusement

Send this link from the Onion to the radical theofascist (christofascist faction) of your choice and watch him or her defend the anti-gravity stance. My favorite part:
"Let's take a look at the evidence," said ECFR senior fellow Gregory Lunsden."In Matthew 15:14, Jesus says, 'And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.' He says nothing about some gravity making them fall—just that they will fall. Then, in Job 5:7, we read, 'But mankind is born to trouble, as surely as sparks fly upwards.' If gravity is pulling everything down, why do the sparks fly upwards with great surety? This clearly indicates that a conscious intelligence governs all falling."
Too bad it's satire, but I figure if argued passionately enough, maybe the fuckers will all float off into outer space. And even if that doesn't happen, imagine the chagrin when you explain what the Onion is--trust me, they won't get it, not having the slightest sense of humor or irony. Enjoy yourselves.
