A: Because they have to be as long as their data conflicts with Genesis. Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis): Now, if the book of Genesis is an allegory, then sin is an allegory, the Fall is an allegory, the need for a Savior is an allegory, and Adam is an allegory—but if we are all [...]

So, mostly, the election went badly; but, as someone who always tries to make lemonade with her lemons, I’ve gone looking for a silver lining citrus juicer. There’s gotta be some upside to electing yet more christian theocrats to high office. “Is there ever a time when bad news (though good news for Christianists) is also good news for hell-bound folks who just [...]
