Oh, you
probably guessed it!
Actually, all
I did was send a letter to the papers a few months ago pointing out
to any churchgoer about to pay to hear a career creationist that said
tinfoil-hatter also believes his Imaginary Friend commands bigots to
execute gay people.
I wouldn't
presume to tell anyone capable of believing six impossible things
before breakfast to abandon their 'sincere beliefs'. There is very
little point arguing with anyone who lives in a hermetic
thought-bubble within an alternate universe, so I never bother. But
even they have a public duty to consider if their odd ideas actually
excuse genocide in what the rest of us recognise as the real world.
It appears
that this odd character (clearly unable to distinguish between the
results of several centuries of rigorously tested hard scientific
exploration and the amanita muscarita-influenced ramblings of bronze
age goat-herders) also does not understand why such views might be a
problem.
My spy on the
spot observed that he is considered an oddball even amongst his funny
friends, so did not attempt enlightenment. For myself, I do not
intend to follow the tongue-in-cheek example of experimental artist
Joseph Beuys, who once performed a piece entitled Explaining art
to a dead hare. It isn't just that it would be pointless, because
I quite like the absurd.
It just wouldn't be fun.
