That's a Fact? Institute for Creation Research

ICR is hilarious. Twice now I have subscribed (or attempted to subscribe) to their Acts and Facts magazine, thinking that at least I could cause them to lose the cost of printing and mailing one copy, but I have never received it...might have something to do with the fact that I answered their survey question "What use will you make of Acts and Facts?" with "comic relief". So now I just get an email a day that rarely has anything to do with science, evolution, or even creation. It's typically just a bible verse or some pseudo-inspirational crap. The latest one was all about singing; it basically quoted some Bible verses where someone is singing or commanded to sing...nice...wtf?

Yes, the daily e-mails are delightful. I try to read those each day as well and pull aside the best ones. I think my favorite so far was the justification of God's commandment to bash babies' heads against stones because those babies were Babylonian and all Babylonians end up sinful and get cast into hell. Therefore it is a mercy to bash a Babylonian baby's head against a rock before it become a determined sinner. Theocracy anyone? (shudder)

I suggest you try again, as they no longer ask "What use will you make of Acts and Facts?"

Why then don't they go mercifully bashing Muslim, and Hindu babies heads? Wouldn't the act be just as merciful in these sinful days?

As long as they waited until after the birth. It would have been immoral to abort them.
