I refer to Raphael Vassallo’s “Dinosaurs helped build pyramids”. Those of us in the United States who have tried to keep the global infection known as “Christian Fundamentalism” confined to our continent, our shores, have failed. We tried. Honestly, we did.
Yet now, the unutterable stupidity of an over-arching fantasy that says dinosaurs helped build the pyramids has metastasized beyond American boundaries and is even infecting the civilized world. How I grieve.
In 1948, Winston Churchill said “An iron curtain has descended across the face of Eastern Europe.”
In 2008, that curtain, patched with stupidity and dogmatism and ignorance and hate and fear is apparently ringing down in parts of Europe we never would have imagined and not communism but “Murkkka” is to blame. Right-wing Christian fundamentalism was born here, nurtured here, fostered here and has now flown the nest to prey on young minds in otherwise enlightened countries.
The Dark Ages are on the way back, barring concerted resistance. I’m just sick at the sight of this story.
