To many people, this was not the act of a raving lunatic and I find that disturbing...

Creationists often say that non-belief in their interpretation of the Bible will lead society to immorality and evil. That is to say, creationists often say what Anthony himself was saying in this video. Some people are only now calling him crazy 'cause he killed someone. Did it have to go that far? Wasn't it obvious his belief in creation was crazy to begin with?

Now, it doesn't look like he killed this poor girl for theological reasons. However, I don't think his insanity and his creationism were unrelated and I urge people who subscribe to this nonsense to carefully consider why they believe in that junk...
Oh, I wasn't saying this wasn't thread-worthy. I was just tired of the semanitc battle going on after your OP, one that you had little to do with.

The thing is that his rantings on Youtube are in no way different than any of the nonsense you yourself spout off here. Or any of the nonsense that I spout, for that matter. The internet, along with the porn-around-every-corner aspect, is the home of the disgruntled. This guy probably didn't type so good. You and I do have that particular skill, so we limit our interactions to the written word, and we can expound on anything that strikes our fancy. And if I've learned anything here, it's that being in opposition is a lot more interesting than following the crowd.

I'm sure you think that your words are the voice of reason. I'll go so far as to grant that I agree with some of the things you've said. But I think that it's laughable to the point of insulting to imply that the kind of crazy that this guy succumbed to is in any way related to his belief in creationism. I know and respect several folks who are adamant believers in creationism. I disagree with them respectfully, but you can't seem to be bothered to be respectful.

Or I could just say that people who use the contraction 'cause are all turtle-rapers and make exactly as much sense as you.
