Some Internet Comedy for You.

And, no, it's not from YouTube:

...and you thought election campaign commercials were cheesy.

I found this page through random clicking and surfing from a 2004 picture that purportedly showed Noah's Ark sticking out of the snow on Mt. Ararat. Interesting stuff, to say the least.

Where I eventually ended up, though, was WorldNetDaily.com. The site contains stories such as one that declares Google (the internet search engine site) evil, that the new hate crimes bill in Congress targets Christians and features Chuck Norris (no joke) as a columnist.

Please don't think I'm only singling this site out because it is religious in nature. Much like the events on BG's campus that I pointed out last week, I'm singling this out because of its particular message and means of delivery.

Take, for example, Chuck's latest column. Chuck begins admirably enough, praising the heroes of the Virginia Tech shooting this past week, as we all should. Unfortunately, from there, things go a bit sour. The Texas Ranger then makes the argument that the "secular agenda" is (at least partly) responsible for the shootings, as if a mentally unbalanced kid like Cho needed any help in coming to the decision to take the actions he did. What bothers me most, though, is the way Chuck dismisses "the Buddhist, Muslim and Jew" presenters at the VT convocation and insists that a "return to the God of our founders, Jesus Christ" will take America "back ... to a time when such shocking crimes didn't even exist."

Reading this, I can't help but wonder precisely what time Chuck is talking about. Is he talking about the 1920s? Or maybe he's talking about Biblical times, when the only people who were killed were those pesky groups that God condemned, like the witches (Exodus 22:18) and the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (Deuteronomy, Chapters 7 and 20).

It seems to me that the last thing we need is to make a concerted effort to go back to a time when people were commanded to wipe entire races off the face of the earth and leave alive nothing that breathes (Deuteronomy 20:16).  Is Chuck serious?  I guess just about as serious as the article that argues whether or not he's tougher than Bruce Lee.

Again, it's not that I've got a problem with the Christian message, I just wish there was less ignorant, hypocritical junk like this out there.

Anyway, this wasn't meant to be offensive, just my take on a site that's too full of itself to see how ridiculous its own stories are. Carry on.
