Oy did über-creationist Ken Ham show his hand this time! Here’s his tw**t about the upcoming Reason Rally (h/t John W.):
There's no doubt Reason Rally in June (described by them as "world's largest atheist party") will be a worship service-worship of reason
— Ken Ham (@aigkenham) May 18, 2016
I needn’t say anything, as the commenters tore him a new one. Here are just the latest comments.
Thou shalt have no other Reasons before me.
Indeed. Reason, logic and critical thinking are all enemies of those who wish to control people through superstition and fear.
While all of the comments have been good, I think this one cuts most quickly to the heart of the matter. Bravo!
What a Ham that Ken is.
Leviticus was right after all. Shun Ham.
I wonder if he had a reason for saying that.
It stands to reason (sorry) that a fundamentalist wouldn’t know the difference between a worship service and a party.
I hope the organizers of the Reason Rally will extend Ken a formal invitation to come and see.
Criticizing “The Cult of Reason” (Wiki it) is an established, respectable tradition. Ken Ham probably isn’t the guy to do it, though.
Ha! The stupid man said a stupid thing!
Hm, a tu quoque! Who would have thunk it!
Anyway, denigrating reason, too. He’s learned a lot from Luther!
Ken Ham is clearly confusing the moderated Reason Rallies in present-day America with the cult of Reason celebrated during the French Revolution.
The highlight was the portrayal of the Greek goddesses of wisdom by living women on an altar of liberty erected in place of dismantled Christian altar in Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral in November 10th 1793.
The Goddess Reason was played by Sophie Momoro who is said to have dressed provocatively, and Thomas Carlyle says she “made one of the best Goddesses of Reason; though her teeth were a little defective.”
Thou shalt not reason because…. er… just don’t ask! Okay!
