Save it for Sunday school
Snip:

This may come as a surprise. But I don't believe in electricity. Not in the conventional sense, of charged particles conveying energy. That is a lie forced on children in public school.

No, in my eyes, what comes out of your electrical socket and runs your toaster is God Force, the ineffable benevolence and power of the Lord Almighty put to practical use for the benefit of mankind.

I find that makes a lot more sense than the so-called conventional theory of "electricity" -- and it's only that, a theory. I mean, where's the evidence? You can't even see the stuff.

You might think that I'd have a hard time persuading others to consider my God Force view of electrical power. But I'm encouraged by the headlines. Down in Georgia, the courts are trying to figure out whether the government can slap a warning label on the biology textbooks, pointing out that evolution, like electricity, is only one in a range of possibilities, and we need to keep an open mind.

LOL! More here (scroll down):

4. I used to follow Neil's column back in the days
before I dumped the Sun-Times for endorsing Mr. Knucklehead for president. (yes, I know they endorsed Kerry in '04--too little, way too late.)

Steinberg can write in both comical and serious tones with equal success.

5. Don't forget the 'THEORY' of gravity.
Everyone knows that it's god's love that keeps you on the Earth. He pulls just enough from heaven to keep Satan from pulling you down into Hell. If you give up on God, then he lets go, and lets Satan have you as you plummet into hell. If you love god enough he pulls more, until you fly up into Heaven.

That should be taught in Physics class right next to Newton's heretical 'THEORY' of gravity. I remind you. It's only a theory. They should teach the God's Love theory right along side it.
