Not too derail this marvelous thread from the noble cephalopod too much, or take this thread deep into taboo territory, but, considering the context, I found the usage of the word "magic"odd. I kept on telling myself it had to be satirical, but I don't think it was.
"One of the biggest lies of atheism has to do with evolution. Atheists believe that at some point in time, somehow a ‘magical’ Big Bang occurred from nothing, because nothing existed and when that happens ‘magic’ explosions must occur. They call this the flux string theory." I would like to just go ahead and apologize on behalf of the Christians Who Aren't Idiots Movement (CWAIM). We're trying to weed these guys out, but it may take a while. Also, wow: http://christwire.org/2010/05/how-to-spot-a-masturbator/
See dihm, I know people who seriously think like this. It was no challenge at all for me to believe these people were serious.
