More stupidity from Kent Hovind

Kent Hovind(the moronic creationist who was recently put in prison for tax evasion) is till spouting stupidity. This time, it is in regards to the situation at the Pace High School in Florida, where the principal, Frank Lay, is facing possible jail time for violating an agreement to cease religious activities on school grounds. In an open letter to Lay, Hovind suggests that Lay should remove evolution from his schools as well, as it is a religion:
If what I read on LifeSiteNews.com, June 4, is true, ACLU attorney Benjamin Stevenson said school officials have a responsibility to “protect the silently held religious views of others” and to be sure that no one will “impose their religious views” on others. One headline read, “Religion Banned from Santa Rosa Schools.”

If this is indeed what the court and the ACLU intend then you need to begin removing the religion of evolution from your school’s textbooks, tests, classes, and videos shown in class immediately! You certainly don’t want to be held in contempt of court!

What a stupid bastard. But this is to expected. What really hit was some of the comments, especially this one:
I am a high school science teacher in southern California. I agree with what Dr. Hovind has said above 100%. The public schools are hypocrites! They use the laws of the land to manipulate people into following their wicked agenda. Evilution is not science it is a religion.
This is from a user called "BadBob," who needs to be fired from his position as a science teacher immediately.

Irrational People Killing Each Other

Another installment of joy brought to you by that religion known the world over for its dedication to peace, Islam. This is the face of religion. This is the twisted, evil, wretched soul of irrational belief.

Continuing Examples of Speciation

As always, we only add more weight to the theory of evolution as time goes by.
Here is an interesting article about a bird species in the middle of splitting into two or more species.

Cuttlefish writes another cool poem

Found here:
I like my food spicy; some like their food bland.
I like an adventure; some want their lives planned.
My love is a woman who takes her own stand
While others want someone whom they can command.

While some treat their love like a delicate flower—
Watched and protected, locked up in some tower—
My love, I am certain, has shown she has power,
Which grows every day, and in truth, every hour.

My love has a power, which must be respected;
She’s earned it, of course, she’s not falsely protected
To make up for promises long since neglected,
Like some I could name, though that’s not unexpected.

My love is amazing; my love never tires,
My love, like a goddess, compels and inspires,
A muse to the people—like Dawkins or Myers—
Who wear on their sleeves scientific desires.

Some long for the common; we put our reliance
In methods where evidence earns its defiance;
We’ll climb till we see even further than giants—
The woman I love is a beauty called Science.

Jewish Violence

Isn't this lovely? Ultra-Orthodox Jews attacking a non-Jewish journalist for the crime of using a tape recorder on the Sabbath. Another monotheistic religion of peace.
Here's a quote I really loved.
They might be supremely religious, but their behaviour - to me - was far from charitable or benevolent.
Anyone who thinks that increased religiosity is positively correlated with increased benevolence has not been paying attention to human history, either ancient or modern.
