Zeewolf: There were actually living dinosaurs back when my father grew up. He told me so himself. Also, the world was apparently black & white back then.

Was he there when they first invented sound?
I remember when we first got "stereo", it was amazing. Before that, I didn't really get much use out of having two ears...

Ois: They're more the type who think living Humans and 'living' Dinosaurs existed in the same time period.

Well, we have numerous legends of gigantic reptiles roaming the Earth from all across the world and from cultures that were extremely isolationist and wouldn't have been in a position to copy other legends, even if they wanted to.
Then, hundreds of years later, we dig up bones of gigantic reptiles, and seem to have just assumed that they're entirely separate from the legends of old. Sure, they didn't breath fire or fly. People embellished like champions back then. But the existence of 'dragons' is more likely than not. Even if the truth is far more boring than legend suggests.
As for the Christian bullshit about dinosaurs on Noah's Ark and being no more than 6000 years old; well you've got to laugh, haven't you? Bless their little hearts.

Yeah, I still don't know whether to call Poe's Law on that one.
Remember this, then?
"I created this blog to find support for and follow my progress in letting Electronic Arts know that their biggest attack on Christian values to date will not be tolerated."
Sounds like an EA ad campaign gone wrong.
"We can not allow the gaming industry to invade our homes and poison the minds of our children.
After all, their billions in revenue and all the advertising in the world are no match for the power of God."
OK, maybe not. I say Poe's Law.

Okay, you obviously didn't read it properly. You can skim the posts from the start (the bottom), but you HAVE to read the next-to-last post (no. 2 from the top) in its entirety! That means reading everything in the post INCLUDING the bible quotes.
[EDIT] And then, for a laugh, read some of the comments for that post.

"But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”
It’s these teachings that I’ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman that I am today."

There's a very good reason for that, namely that reptiles make excellent monsters. They're scaly, cold, alien looking, and a lot of them are venomous. Monsters that are completely different from us are always more scary than those that have something in common with us.

There's also "The Real About Page" link at the very top. What I find most funny is how recent some of the comments on the last post are.

Exactly. The site perfectly demonstrates that an alarming number of the "sensible" people who don't build their lives around ancient fairy tales, are just as ignorant, arrogant and fanatic as the deeply religious nutcases. They don't stop to read what is actually being said. They just see something they disagree with, skip the rest, and fly into a rage.

Well in their defense, religious nutcases do tend to spew the same shit over and over again, so it gets a tad tedious to read after a while. The word you're looking for here is jaded.
