ER's BS detector at work this week
Got two God-related e-mails this week that are urban legends.
The first one, which has a young Einstein challenging an "atheist professor" in a classroom showdown, is a great story and good fodder for pondering the nature of good and evil. But it appears never to have happened.
It's bullshit. Benign bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.
Read about the Einstein-atheist professor urban legend here.
The other one seems more sinister -- a tale made up, supposedly in the name of God, to defame the American Civil Liberties Union. Isn't that Christlike! The story goes that the ACLU freaked out over a photo of a bunch of Marines with heads bowed, praying.
It's bullshit. Slanderous, evil, lying bullshit.

your bs detector seems to be in perfect working order, er. well done in exposing these lies; perhaps their authors are unfamiliar with ALL of god's commandments.
here's a little something to supplement your detector.

In another, unrelated bullshit development ...
I can't stand Sean Hannity.
I equally can't sdtand Howard Stern.
I accidentally turned on Hannity's radio shopw in the truck awhile ago and Howard Stern was his guest.
Their bullshit totally cancels each other's out! I could stand to listen to it and actually enjoyed it. Weird.

i used to loathe stern. then he kinda grew on me (especially after seeing his movie).
then he got divorced.
these days, i'm ambivalent about him, but i'm glad he's been taking shots at the chimp.
every vote counts....
