'Heliocentrism is an Atheist Doctrine' (found through james_nicoll)

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY brigidsblest)

In this day and age, I'm used to dominionist/fundamentalist followers spouting anti-evolution drivel; it's part of the landscape of American politico-religious debate and, inaccurate as that viewpoint may be, even fools are entitled to their opinions.

But.

Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas (R) is currently running for President in 2008. There are a number of supporters out there quite vocally expressing support for him, and kowtowing to his opinions, one of which he voiced recently during a debate--that he does not believe it in evolution. Okay.

And then this guy kicked it up a notch, so to speak:

Look. I do not, not, understand how anyone in this day can look at the notion that the earth revolves around the sun, rather than vice versa, and claim that not only is the 'theory' an atheist notion, but wrong as well. Did I wake up this morning back in the Dark Ages? Can't be, there's this fancy thing called a 'computer' I'm typing these words on.

Here's the FAQ for this guy's blog:

My one stunned and numbed thought: Please, please, please let this blog be a satirical effort to get Brownback thoroughly discredited before the Republican National Convention. Please. I don't think I can deal with a world where people really believe in 11th-Century doctrines.
