Have you considered handing out free Darwin's evolution books at chruch?
Edited on Sun Aug-07-05 04:45 PM by dhinojosa
I think it will be a great idea to get some small Darwin's Theory of Evolution books and hand them out at church. Do it right in front of their door, and since tax payers are paying churches through "faith-based" initiative, it is now public ground. We can hold up signs that say "Your theory is about incest", "Snakes can't talk", "Greek Mythology Redefined" etc. We can also hand them out saying to chruch-goers "free your mind" (How Leary), or "Genesis cannot be proven by scientific analysis". We can also hand out videos with information.

I figured, hell, they bugged me in high school and college with their shit, its time repay them the favor. :)

1. Does everyone remember the religious weirdos
that stood outside your highschool passing out free copies of the Bible?
The first time it every happened to me, I tore out a page and used it to roll a joint right in front of the guy that handed it to me.....

hey, what else would you expect from the dude with Jim Morrison as his icon?

4. of coarse, they are Catholics
Catholics do whatever the hell they want regardless of what the church tries to tell them -and still call themselves Catholics -that's the beauty of it! haha.

5. That is true ...

... to a large degree. That's why there's a large group of people considered "culturally" Catholic, but not religiously Catholic.

8. I promise not to think in your church if you promise not to pray in my
school. Or words to that effect.

9. Darwin never wrote a book called the Theory of Evolution
Just saying. And there sare no "small" versions of The Origin of Species or The Descent of Man. Good luck with that, though.
