To deny there is a God is to stand on a building and deny there is a building. – Russell Brock
It was just like God just picked up a semi-truck right off me and I actually started living. – Stephen Watt
Brock is a board member at a suburban Atlanta school district where they’re battling over whether to require “… teachers to give a ‘balanced education’ about the origin of life, giving equal weight to evolution and biblical interpretations,” reported in this NY Times article.
Watt, a deputy sheriff, is seeking the Republican nomination for governor in Wyoming and vows to pardon the man who riddled him with bullets 20 years ago during a bank robbery, reported in this AP story.
These guys believe God is a Being, up there somewhere flipping big switches (“I think I’ll create part of the universe today”) and small (“I’m going to remove the bitterness from this guy’s heart”.) Goofy either way, but when good shit happens that we don’t understand, that’s what we tend to do.
