An Apology to America

[templeboy]

Dear American Happy Atheists

Having vaguely followed over the past year or so the idiotic ramblings of that clueless twat Ray Comfort (aka bananaman) and his puppy Kirk Cameron, I have felt particular shame in the realisation that the man grew up in my city.

So I just want to say to everyone

On behalf of all Christchurch people with an IQ of over 35, I am deeply, profoundly ashamed to be from the same country, let alone city, which gave the world Ray Comfort. Please, do not judge us on our worst import, or on the name of our city! Christchurch is in fact a wonderful, tolerant, secular and beautiful city.

Yours with deep sympathy and shame
Templeboy

Are you kidding? After all the of nut job fundies we've produced, even with banana man, you still about 1000 douch bags away from an apology. We still owe them to everyone else.

I figured I would get the one bad, er, banana out of the way before I start gloating that at the last elections the leader of both major parties were on-the-record agnostics!

It's just "comfort"ing to know that we don't produce all of the world's rutabaga-brained whackadoos. Thanks!

I wonder if I'll live to see that here in the US.  Most likely not - unless they discover new ways to increase life span.

I have to ask, what the hell kind of name is Christchurch? I'm not knocking your town's name but it does come off a little odd. We have a city in Texas called Cuero which literally means "Cowhide" in Spanish, so I guess I can't really poke fun but that seems so odd, it comes of kind of like Newspeak from 1984.

Don't feel bad my friend, we Americans have given you Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Ed Aimsworth, and Kirk Cameron.

Christchurch is named after Christs College, Camebridge....I'm not proud of my cities name, but I am proud of everything else about my city (except Ray Comfort)

Makes sense, and I wasn't really trying to ridicule it. Some city names are just odd. Goliad (a town where I spent most of my formative years) is an anagram of Hidalgo the famous priest. It's also one of the oldest towns in the state of Texas and the US. Few have heard of it but it holds a lot of history.

On the bright side, idiots like Comfort help us not take ourselves too seriously like Mr. Spocks. Just an observation.
