Foolish news, 12/1 edition

Here are some not-so-noteworthy news stories that briefly grabbed my short attention span today.

If you watched any of the NFL highlights from this past weekend, no doubt you saw Buffalo Bills WR Steve Johnsons drop of a perfectly thrown ball in the end zone that would have clinched an OT victory over the highly favored Steelers.  In the post-game press conference, he shared his devastation from the podium,
"I'll never get over it. Never. The Buffalo Bills will get over it. I'll never get over it.''  While in the car yesterday, on one of the Moody radio programs, the hosts and callers were talking about a recent Tweet put out by the WR.  I only heard bits and pieces of the conversation, but the discussion seemed to be on whether or not this Steve Johnson is a believer and what he met by his Tweet.    Was he really blaming God for his gaffe?  After seeing the tweet, and reading the rest of his recent posts, I think the radio hosts should have done more background due diligence.  Here is his tweet page.  What do you think?  I tend to think that if King David tweeted, that some of the Psalms may look a bit like this.  Also of note, check out Kurt Warner's tweets of encouragement here, here, and here.

In lieu of our recent conversations on faith and reason, check out this billboard paid for by the American Atheists. 

Just one more, seems like the guys at AiG are planning to one-up their Creation Museum with an all out Noah's Ark themed amusement park.  Aside from the fact that an amusement park is going to be themed on the last time God obliterated the earth and all but a few of its inhabitants, this makes me a bit uneasy - but that's just me.  What do you think about a creationism themed amusement park?

    Wow! they are already up to 13,000 on their way to the 24 million that they need for the ark! Is it wrong that I feel anger that that much money is being spent on an amusement park? This could be related to Smitty's luxury liner post. American Christianity, not all of it, but most of it, has definitely got its priorities way off!

    What are you talking about - People are turning away from God in America - and Darwin is to blame! We must fight back! What better way than an amusement park! 24 mil is a small price to pay. Sign me up for a 'beam'. (as soon as I get this thing out of my eye)

    Literally laughing out loud as I finished reading krook's post! I couldn't believe you were saying what you said until the end.
    I guess the whole thing is laughable. Yeah, I think the money could be spent better, but truth is, we'll probably all bring our kids there some day on a day-cation or something.
