Which Is Harder to Believe?

A gentle reader and reformed chicken kidnapper draws our attention to the following remark from Saturday Night Live on October 29, as delivered by Tina Fey during the venerable SNL News:

66% of Americans think President Bush is doing a poor job. The other 34% think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.
Meanwhile, over at OpinionJournal: Best of the Web Today, the indispensable James Taranto makes the following observation about yesterday's fulminations of the Angry Left:
Democrats love to mock the Republican base for believing the Bible is true. Democratic basemen believe "Fahrenheit 9/11" is true!
While SWNID happily shares this useful comparison on the subject of warranted and unwarranted belief, we nevertheless are forced to admit that some people who believe fervently in a form of Christianity also believe firmly that dinosaurs and humans existed as contemporaries. The drawing above is from the Kidz Art Gallery of the infamous "Lambuel" web site. Draw your own conclusions about what the child who created this digital picture has been taught about the triumphal entry.

We encountered this remarkable Lambuel some months ago when pointed to it by the ever-vigilant Son of SWNID. At the time, we believed that it must be a parody. It disappeared briefly but now has returned at another web address. Follow the link and see if you can follow the reasoning.

i particularly enjoyed the youth ministry shop on their website with exciting products for Christian teens, including the Radical Abstinence Thong. "For all the sisters who wanna let 'em know that you ain't no playa, you a PRAYA! 'Radically Abstinent... Saved & Saving it!'"

i'm suddenly realizing what my youth ministry is missing....
