My thanks for the rep and the link to the 'Currant' Faq page.
About - The Daily Currant
Incidentally Daily currant (currant - snall dried grape) -play on words 'current' - recent. from Daily courant, the courant being a renaissance dance. So a poetic term 'daily dance' or perhaps a connotation daily movement. Nothing to do with sitting on the Throne, though it may mention monarchs in passing.

No, it's not satire! this is real!
i don't know how much more proof you need?!
you think EVERYTHING is satire when it's contradicting with your views......and this is a prime example! Here's a study they've done, and at HARVARD!, that clearly shows undisputed evidence for the existence of jesus, and here you are calling it satire! You SIR, need to check yourself before you wreck yourself!

It's really funny. I googled it and there are SO many people really excited about it. However, ALL the roads lead back to the Daily Currant.
Evidently, a lot of people don't know.

Well, when you think about Scientology:
  • It was "discovered" by a successful science fiction writer - a profession in which the success of the professional depends upon how skillful and entertaining of a liar he has the ability to be.
  • Learning the more closely guarded secrets of scientology just so happens to require giving large sums of money to the organization.
Lots of people believe that to be true. Believing Yahweh sent a message in DNA doesn't even require a donation.

I'm not sure which one is more painful to read- the spoof, or the commentary section. Sheeple out in full force. They think it's real!

Actually, god is dead. So the "hidden code" in DNA means nothing.

I offer the Onion or Currant an idea for a spoof article,

Geneticists clone God.

'It is really useful to have a cloned God held in a lead - lined chamber at UnconCERN.' Said Genetic -physicist Hadrian Wurmhole, speaking to our reporter today.

'Having a handy extra god without the work of running the universe, sending disasters and disease and deciding whether or not to answer prayers or heal someone, means that this one acts as a sort of infallible oracle. We can ask it..or Him..anything and get an infallibly reliable answer. And since we know where He is, he has to deliver, or we don't feed Him.'

Responding to accusations of blasphemy, Wurmhole quipped:

'God was Three in one, now it's four in one. There's nothing blasphemic about it. By the way the talk of a genetically modified god or even one made of antimatter, so if it met itself they would instantly annihilate one another are totally false. Believe me, if that were the case, we would have done it by now.'

You blaspheme. You mock the Father, Son and Holy Toast.
