Ok, last one and my latent bookmarks are all cleared out.

PZ has become a target for almost every religious dingbat owning a computer, and a lot of them that don't. In this case, he got a letter from a source that was hit by a spammer extraordinaire.
You may have seen this letter already
Category: Creationism
Posted on: January 4, 2009 9:50 PM, by PZ Myers

A newspaper editor sent me this bizarre little letter. Apparently, the writer, a Mr Nick Lally, was spamming it all over the place, and his copy was also sent to addresses at these domains (actual email addresses stripped to protect the already put-upon):
There follows an incredible, even monumental list of addresses this cannonball was fired off at. The letter:
Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to all clergy…and to the spiritual leaders of our churches and synagogues throughout our country.


Charles Darwin's birthday is fast approaching February 12, '09, with a 200 year celebration. The National Center for Science Education led by known atheists, are encouraging churches to join the Darwin Day celebrations. To date there will be 850 Darwin Day events worldwide. I find it interesting that this "Trojan Horse" is aimed directly at churches as well as schools. Evolutionists have already been quoted as saying: "A backward collared clergy is worth more then an atheist on a school board any day". So, before you spiritual leaders consider preaching Darwin's theory in your churches and synagogues in the name of looking progressive or tolerant to your congregations, its best that you know all the facts first:
Indeed. But I find myself a trifle disappointed that we didn't get one.

His letter goes on with the usual creationist blather gleaned from comic books put out by the ICR and other "creation science" organizations, for distribution to churches and such...

Oh well.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

The guy's spam has made it to at least one newspaper in Alabama.

I stumbled over this familiar-looking drivel at Dumb as a Blog.
