[Editor’s Note: Somehow this entry got set back to pending so I’m reopening it.]

Here’s a video from some Christian nutjob TV channel, where the presenter tries to justify that God designed the banana. Watch it below, or view it at Google Video.

Found via Gia’s Blog.

I’m convinced now.  But I guess the Devil made the Durian…

Can anyone watch him eat that banana and not see an ape?

I browsed a bit at Google Video, and found this Berlitz ad that might be funny, especially for elwed and ingolfson…

That’s Mr. Ray Comfort along with the washed up Kirk Cameron. They keep themselves pretty busy these days putting out videos called The Way of the Master that purport to “teach Christians how to share their faith effectively and inoffensively.”

Generally they just make me laugh.

I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring: your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t, either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t, either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.

I saw this one some time ago - only if you haff a cherman sense of humour can sink about sinking (think about thinking - is that a double pun-wammy?). LOL

Heheh… Allee had him on her radio show a couple of weeks ago and he conceded that the “banana argument” was silly. Allee fixed his wagon, that’s for sure.

I talked about it here.

As Brad over at SadlyNo pondered, is wingnuttery all one big practical joke?

The subtle homo-erotic overtones to the banana argument intrigued me.

Hmmm.... Perhaps there’s a nutso counter argument there to the religious-right’s anti-gay position.

I realise this is a THREAD DRIFT but… BRENT.
A coupla weeks ago most of my family and THEIR progeny got together … my youngest (3rd) brother’s boy BRENT (7) challenged CHESS.
My brother-in-law lost. Brent came and told us he’d won (before he’d actually won) the game. 
Not much recognition. He played my 1st brother’s boy (13, Janny, who’s apparently pretty good and rarely loses game) and won again.
Quite casually in the car going home he mentioned he could beat anyone in 6 (or was is 8) moves … he even beat the head master at school.
(I’ve never been a parent … what do I know?) I asked how he came about the 6 moves.
Did someone tell him? No, I worked it out myself. (Should I believe him?)
Next day I asked Janny if Brent was any good after he was beaten again. Yes.
My 1st brother (Roland, father of the Janny and 15 year old, Matteus, who’d both entertained them all playing classical piano pieces in the auditorium of the complex in which they were staying, and therefore, I knew were familiar with the mathematics involved, and were both tops in all subjects at their school [nah nah nah – not from my side – their mother is a doctor and marginally bright = Oz understatement]) agreed BRENT was pretty good at chess.
This kid is on Ritalin 24/7 (I thought it was Rintalin) coz he’s ADD whatever. The only time I’ve seen him engrossed (slowed down – you can relate to that, can’t you Les?) is in chess or playing ‘games’ on the computer.
Roland posed: who knows what Kasparov or Fischer were like at 7.
Brent might survive.
As I said, I’m not a parent so I have no one to compare him to.
Thanks for the name BRENT – it was a prompt with nowhere to go, except for the DRIFT into memory. LOL

Mm… and you notice how the colon has many fleshy ridges, while the internals twist and curve? This allows the 5 ridges of the banana to fit regardless of how you rotate them inside the colon. Notice too, the banana’s shape is curved.

God made bananas so we can stick them in our butts! The Devil made pineapples, on the other hand. - and coconuts. But especially pineapples.

Someone shoulda told him that the banana he holds was designed by thousands of years of selective breeding/growing and in the last 50 years or so genetic modifications by scientists. That’s why they’re so easy to eat.

Tell that man to go find some real bananas…

In fact that banana is probably one of the worst examples to use because in a way it respresents *gasp* evolution. No banana like that existed in the time of Jesus.

Anyone else noticing the homoerotic subtext when he shows how perfectly the banana fits into the human mouth?

Syd: Anyone else noticing the homoerotic subtext when he shows how perfectly the banana fits into the human mouth?

You’d have to be devoid of all five senses to miss it. Given the fact that this guy is a right-wing Xtian, I would have guessed that the banana (nature’s perfect phallic symbol) would be his nightmare.

Zilch: But I guess the Devil made the Durian…

I’ll say! Cut open one of those and my eyes instantly start watering.  downer

http://kasparovchessfoundation.org/About/bio.html

Garry Kasparov was born on April 13, 1963 in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, ex-USSR. By the age of seven, Garry was a child chess prodigy.

By age seven, he was so thoroughly absorbed that his mother became worried. “Bobby isn’t interested in anybody unless they play Chess and there just aren’t many children who like it” she once said.

EyesOnly, is that comment on the right thread? I have no idea how it relates.

Maybe he’s subconciously expressing desires…
