How could creationism not be dishonest?

Hedonistic machine lubricates itself
The one thing the sculpture, combined with the artists enterpretation, does better than anything is illustrate why artists should never try to enterpret their own artwork for the observer. Because it naturally forces you to reconcile the artists intent with the execution.
Other than that, I like it.
Colbert Being a Genius
How he does stuff like that with a straight face, I'll never know!
I don't know how I do MY job with a straight face most days.
Most people would probably feel the same if they stopped to think about it.

The VideoSift Pomplamoose Interview (Music Talk Post)
I really enjoyed the placement of the video for Pas Encore. It gave the interview a multimedia feel.
I think in the future more video referances positioned appropriately throughout the interview would be a great way to add depth for the reader. Maybe in a case like Pomplamoose it's possible to get some original video clips to add to the interview. 15 seconds of Jack pointing out his Theremin in the corner or Nataly saying 'Hello' to Videosifters in French would really make this interview stand out and underscore the nature of this website.

Robin Williams Talking About Getting Owned in COD
He's a clown. People like that read your body language and engage you personally. It almost doesn't matter what he's saying because with people like him it's an intimate interaction. I'd be the first to say he's made some pretty unfunny movies but I don't doubt his ability to kill every one of you doubters with laughter.
The Atheist Experience: Why Are You Atheists Anti-Christian?
I read your posts a couple times trying to make sense out of them and the only thing I can figure is that your confusing some of the members here with the voices in your head.
Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor - Google Tech Talk Remix
Apparently we've had the technology to solve our clean energy needs for half a century but they were abandoned and nearly lost because they didn't serve the right masters.
If Liquid flouride thorium reactors don't produce byproducts that can be weaponized then this should be developed as the standard for devloping nations everwhere in the world. This would prevent international concerns like we're experiencing with Iran's nucleur program right now since the technology of liquid flouride thorium fusion apparently does not share any similarities with the process of refining Uranium for weapons.
Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age: Origins
I was expecting Yahtzee to mention the Revenant. Fucking Revenant. Usually when they show up my entire party is dead before I can figure out which button to push in order to get control back after I accidentally push every button on the controller in a blind panic.

Young girl sneezes 117 times per minute
Must be miserable for the poor kid but...on the up side she's going to have great abs when she's older.
It's the gayest show in the fuckin' world: Ghost Hunters
Sometimes I'll delete the whole block of them and pretend it was an accident. I can't stand that fucking show.
Happy Lil' Elk Frolics in a Pond
Ahhh. Maybe hunting season is over.
Or not.
If there were audio you'd hear that elk screaming, "Fuck you! Take your best shot!"
At least, that's how I'd get a drink of water if it was open season on me.
Cute Girl Plays Flute Hero
I'll get my brush, so we can get that sand out of your vagina.
Really? You have a vagina cleaning brush? Where do you even find something like that?
Godless Billboard Moved After Threats
Atheists need to be more willing to acknowledge America's historical roots. America's formative underpinnings were always steeped in Judeo-Christian values. The 10 commandments are THE document that epitomizes the origins of both values and laws for that culture. Atheists need to lighten up in that respect. To have a courthouse want to pay homage to one of the most important documents in Judeo-Christian legal history is not a big deal.
Here's the problem with that line of reasoning, the entire idea that Judeo-Christian values are the foundation of our country.
It's circular logic:
1. There are Christian referances on our money and landmarks so that's proof our country was founded on Christianity.
2. Our country was founded on Christianity so we should be allowed to put more Christian referances on our money and landmarks.
So, no...it is not reasonable or acceptable to place Christian symbols in government locations because it gives the appearance the two are linked and misleads people into making the assumptions you appear to have made.
The historical facts don't even support the belief that the country was founded on Christianity. In so far as Christian values were involved, the values you're talking about are basically common across all religions and philosophies. It can reasonably be argued that any 'proof' of the involvement of Christianity in the founding of our country is more accurately evidence of the predominance of Christianity in the culture at the time. It's like saying our country was founded on slavery and the proof is the common use of slaves at the time.
Also consider that more than a few of the founding fathers of our country appear to have been Aetheists. Perhaps the Aethists have a better argument that the country was founded on Aethism and that the Christians subverted the original intention of the founders somewhere around the mid 20th century. But no, the fact is that the founding of this country was a secular endeavor devoid of religious influence and the founding fathers went to considerable lengths to point this out. It's only by willfully ignoring the facts of the matter that anyone can make a claim of Christian underpinnings.
It looks like the Theists hi-jacked this country in the 1940's and the Secularists are now taking it back.
