Oh! And one other bit of breaking news. Satan has used evolution to deceive the masses, mostly intellectuals, but he is now through with that and has gone to his next plan of deception. His new plan is "tolerance." All roads lead to heaven, everyone will eventually be redeemed and we must all come together and give each other a world "group hug".
Satan destroys one group, and once he has them, he goes to another.
Evolution is now in the same bin as the flat earth theory and Atlas holding the world up on his shoulders. Hope he doesn't shrug.

Hrm, using a concept you just binned to bring poignancy to your argument.
So, if the concept of Atlas holding up the earth doesn't work for you why should you be concerned if he shrugs or not? Sounds like you're dividing by zero again.
Brinkley has a disturbingly in-depth knowledge of Satan's plans, if you ask me.
Talking of plans, is this the new fundy tactic, to give up trying to disprove evolution (because they can't) and instead merely assert that it is 'dead' (whatever that means)?
So, this Satan fellow not only supports science and intellectual honesty; he also facilitates tolerance now?
Then, I like this Satan! So much better than that hateful, stupid, psychotic god the fundies made in their own image.
That's alright, Nathan, Zarathustra got in first, so God is deader than evolution. Bring on das Übermensch.
If Satan can use evolution then it means he controls Gods creation against Gods will. Your God is a wussy.
BTW tolerance is a good thing. I have no idea how you guys make it out to be a bad thing.Just one more nail on the cross... uh, in the coffin of Christian apologetics
"Atlas holding the world up on his shoulders. Hope he doesn't shrug."
You've read Ayn Rand?
You've read? OMFG!
So, Satan fools intellectuals into believing the theory of evolution. Therefore by default, only stupid people can see the truth of Gawd's word! Well, that explains a lot.
Seriously, the devil running around deceiving people? This is so 17th century.
I guess that scientists all over the world studying evolution never got the memo that it's as false as a flat earth. Which, according to the bible, the earth is flat with a firmament over it.
"Evolution is now in the same bin as the flat earth theory and Atlas holding the world up on his shoulders."
Wishful thinking on your part, but then you guys do have the ability to believe whatever you want to believe.
Let's see. Satan believes in evolution and tolerance. God tells us that two of every animal on the earth--and seven of some of them!--were put on a boat with only one window for an entire year. And God wants us to hate everyone who is different from us and kill in his name. Oddly, Satan never asks to us kill anyone, to my knowledge.
Why is it that you worship the asshole, again?

"Seems like Satan's all about tolerance and peace. Sounds like a cool guy."
Compared to God, Satan is St. Francis of Assisi:

And there's billions of we mere mortals who haven't killed anyone. Nor will we ever. So much for a God who is (certainly morally) inferior to so many of those he supposedly 'created', hmmmmmm?
You're out of your league, Brinkley.
"Evolution is now in the same bin as the flat earth theory and Atlas holding the world up on his shoulders."
Only among ignoramuses, a group Brinkley proudly claims membership in (as indicated by the second sentence in the OP). So Brinkley, you oppose tolerance and education. All you have to back up your assertions is bronze-age myths. Why should anyone listen to you?
Just because you said it doesn't make it true. Evolution is alive and well, and no amount of fundieness will kill it. Even if you don't "believe in evolution," reality doesn't care what you believe.
And once again we see a Christian who openly proclaims, IN DEFIANCE OF HIS OWN MESSIAH, that tolerance is evil. Way to blaspheme yourself, buddy.
I suppose it's overly optimistic to expect tolerance from the educationally subnormal cultists and it would certainly be par for the course for them to demean intellect, specially when it's in such short supply for them. It's like persecuting a very small minority, and that's right up the lazy morons' street. In any case, what business has intelligence in the dreamworld of the drooling simpleton? Still, I suppose we must have forbearance and show tolerance towards even them, though not to the evil gibberish and lies that they spout.
Evolution is now in the same bin as the flat earth theory and Atlas holding the world up on his shoulders. Hope he doesn't shrug.
Darn right! Creationism is supported by thousands of scientists, 150 years of research, billions of dollars of laboratories and millions of pages of published peer-reviewed papers. Evolution is supported by what? A book written 3,500 years ago by a bronze age Arab goat herder? Pfffff ...
Oh, wait - I got that backwards. OK, forget what I said ...
So God's plan for salvation is to tear us all apart and just sit back and do nothing? While Satan's plan is for us all to get along?
????
They sure get their jollies off of thinking they're superior to others.
So you're saying Satan's grand insidious plan is to interfere with God's loathing and/or condemnation of certain groups, and encourage the world to see everyone as equals, deserving of respect.
And you're calling Satan the bad guy here? Huh...
Re the http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/3871/godvsatan.jpg bar chart
Let's not forget that the ten killed by Satan are Job's seven sons and three daughters, killed because God enters into a bet with Satan about whether Satan can make Job renounce God.
But later God gives Job ten more children so that's all OK then...
Atlas hold the Heavens up on his shoulders, not the world, if you wish to be accurate...
As for Mr Galt, if The Party from Orwell's 1984 was in charge, of the Worker's State of America, not the 3 Stooges, he would have been in Room 101, faster than you say "stole the Schematics for a Zero Point Module from the company he worked for ...".
Don't you mean Creation is in the same bin as the Flat Earth theory and Atlas holding up the world on his shoulders?
Why I capitalize "Creation" - Creation is not real, therefore, it doesn't deserve to be decapitalized.
Woohoo!
Group hug for Satan!
Tolerance is good. I will tolerate anyone who can tolerate in return. Since teh fundeez are exempt from tolerance, there's more of it to share with better people.
You can only wish that the evolution argument is gone. More accurately, your hope of refuting evolution is gone.
"And one other bit of breaking news"
Ah...I guess I missed this one in the Wall Street Journal....
"Satan has used evolution to deceive the masses, mostly intellectuals"
I guess satan doesnt need evolution to deceive the ignorant, that is why you fundies dont believe in it
"Evolutions is now in the same bin as the flat earth theory....?
Wait just one darn tootin' minute there sparky.....I am reading a book by a "flat earth theory" type right now. A fundie xian claiming you are not taking the babble literally and compromising gawd because you dont agree the earth is flat, with four corners, while the entire universe is revolving around the flat earth because the earth does not move. All in the babble. Perhaps satan has deceived YOU Brinkley......
Following your logic, he´s also doing a good job making you look stupid, since evolution is now widely accepted in the scientific community and most mainstream religious groups and tolerance is also the way of living for most people in majoritarily Christian countries since.................at least 150 years.
> And one other bit of breaking news.
Your definition of "breaking news" is quite different from the conventional one.
> His new plan is "tolerance."
So, you allege that the peaceful coexistence that people strive for these days is a bad thing. That is a really extraordinary claim. I sure hope you have extraordinary evidence for this, because otherwise, this sort of claims make you look like a massive bigot.
> Evolution is now in the same bin as the flat earth theory and Atlas holding the world up on his shoulders. Hope he doesn't shrug.
Why can't you make pop culture references to cool things? Nobody has read that book. As a result, I don't get you're exactly trying to say here. And what I can decipher out of that is bullshit. Please enlighten.
So, you're not fooled because you're not intellectual,and you're not tolerant.
Heaven is sounding less and less appealing.
But Atlas did hold the earth up, he held the sky! Not the earth, the sky! If he held up the earth, what would he be standing on anyway? That question doesn't make sense and you know why? Because he didn't hold up the earth. He stood on the earth and held up the sky. The sky!!
(Sorry, I know it's an Ayn Rand reference, but I'm a bit of a Greek mythology geek and it annoys me that people always get this wrong and instantly dismiss me as the one who doesn't know anything about Greek mythology whenever I point out that Atlas actually held up the sky. It's personal pet peeve.)
It's interesting to note that "the masses" that Satan's tricked are "mostly intellectuals." I don't think that the "intellectuals" are usually considered a large part of "the masses". Strange though that Satan's able to trick the intellectuals better than anyone else. I'd have thought that intelligent, educated people would be the hardest to deceive. With Satan it's the opposite. I wonder how he does that. Satan must work in some pretty damn mysterious ways.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
