It was perfectly understandable as the hoary old accusation makes us groan as much as "Millions would not die for a lie", "Stalin was an atheist" and 'Jesus is attested by Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, Thallia, Phlegon, Bar -Serapeon..."
There are those that I don't believe you would use (though I have seen them, one quite recently) such as Hitler was an atheist and NASA says the earth is the centre of the solar system. Those are beyond facepalm.
And the ones not quite at facepalm level but merely merit an eyeroll are 'Legal experts say that the resurrection is true', 'Actual evidence of Moses' crossing the Red sea' and..well 'the Star of Bethlehem was some sort of planetary conjunction'.
.
Let us not forget "Noah's Ark Found!" or "Garden of Eden Location Identified!"
Still, my all time favorite religious proof remains the 1980's special program of the 700 Club where they advertised for weeks in advance that they had absolute proof of the fallibility of evolution. The proof turned out to be: "Jews have been circumcising their infants for thousands of years, yet to date not a single Jew has been born already circumcised." Question settled forever.
They held that blockbuster until the end of the show, it had been an hour featuring all sorts of anti evolution presentations, including twin eight year old girls who sang the moving "My Granddaddy Ain't No Monkey."
"My granddaddy ain't no monkey
No monkey no sir-eee
He don't eat bananas
He don't swing from trees"
That's a real facepalmer. The 'disproof' reminds me of the old groaner of 'why aren't kids born with tattoos?' And the song reminds me of a Simpsons episode where the newly widowed Flanders is delighted by a true believer singing a folksy song about how wrong them atheist be.
Only in jeffy-land is writing a letter and requesting something, labeled "bullying."
Such tender, babyish sensibilities.
And the equally immature police response of "go fly a kite" only induces guffaws from other Bubbas and mouth-breathers.
Yeah, but it sure does fit the Christian Extremist's martyr agenda
