[OSF] Peanut Butter and Bananas - Delicious Sandwich...Atheist's Nightmare Foods?

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm all for being open minded to religion, and actively exploring my personal spirituality. But man, some arguments (both for and against the concepts) are just ... oh, what's the word I want here ... well, nuts. Here's two old school (in Internet lifetimes) examples from the "for" category. Bananas: with Kirk Cameron Peanut Butter: with Chuck Missler (who?) Kirk Cameron "Debunked" (interesting):

Drive-In Church

Yeah, you read that right. Drive-in church. I mean, I know we're a lazy country, but are Americans THAT lazy? Christ! [get it, I made a joke] And this place has been open for over FIFTY YEARS. Wow. For more than five decades, the 12-acre plot of land off South Atlantic Avenue has been home to the Daytona Beach Drive-In Christian Church. [TampaBays10.com] [driveinchurch.net]

Rev. Jerry Fallwell Dead

I'll leave commentary to other bloggers. I've learned to try to keep my mouth generally shut when it comes to religion, especially the "Moral Majority" (what a stupid name). Nobody wants to hear what I have to say, and those who do already agree with me about stuff. LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Rev. Jerry Falwell — founder of the Moral Majority and the face of the religious right in the 1980s — died Tuesday after being found unconscious in his office, a Liberty University executive said. Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but noted that Falwell had “a history of heart challenges.” [MSNBC]

Joseph Smith Sphinx (Mormon)

So, a friend of mine went to SLC this weekend, and came back with stories of the Joseph Smith Sphinx. Yes, it's real... The finished statues are likewise unconventional, even eccentric: a sacrificial altar, a shrine to Child's beloved wife Bertha, even a sphinx with the face of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. Child, who shared the garden with thousands of visitors over his lifetime, knew that not everyone would appreciate his particular artistic vision. His primary concern, however, was that the garden would succed in making people think: "You don't have to agree with me," he said. "You may think I am a nut, but I hope I have aroused your thinking and curiosity." [Wiki] [PostMormon.org]
