All good. But my best laugh came from the site that published this from Franklin Graham:
“Now, if you don’t like that, don’t get mad at me,” Graham said. “I didn’t write the rule book. Almighty God wrote it, and it’s a sin against Him.”
So he actually believes that an entity that created everything from black holes to multiverses to vibrating strings would take the time to write a book about who humans on an insignificant hunk of rock orbiting around a mediocre star should or should not rub their genitals with?
Nonsense.
Hah. Of course the point is to place his own personal prejudices beyond challenge. "I'm not the one who says this, it's my imaginary friend who just happens to hate all the same things I do, so no point arguing with me about it, nyah nyah nyah."
