Keep Talking, Freakazoids

Unless severely provoked, my default response to repugs, freakazoids and other deluded liars spouting hateful nonsense is to encourage them to keep talking. The more they say, the more they reveal their ignorance, deceit and stupidity.

Sometimes it takes a while, and waiting can get frustrating, especially when the victory of fact, reason and truth can be subtle.

But every once in a while, we get a clear win.

Regular readers here may be familiar with WhoIsYourCreator, a creationist who blows through here and The Panda's Thumb now and then to dump a load of creationist cut-and-paste in the comments. WhoIsYourCreator is actually Julie Haberle, a deranged creationist whose chief accomplishment to date has been to erect foolish billboards all over the place. To date — but now she can take credit for another accomplishment. Her billboards and organization prompted a Christian to dig deeper into this evolution stuff, and what he discovered was that Haberle and others in the creationist movement have been lying all along, which led him to this simple conclusion, which he shared with Ms. Haberle.

I'm simply writing to say 'Thank You' and let you know by sharing with you the information I've discovered, your organization more than any other entity has been the primary factor in the shedding my faith. Keep up the good work as there is no doubt countless others have and will continue to do the same based on your efforts.

Dishonesty has consequences, and creationists are fundamentally distorting the evidence to fit their desired conclusion. That hurts them when people take a moment to actually examine what they are claiming.
