The wild ride of the Stag God at 10 mph towards the BBQ

[substitute]

The local Christian college has one of those events where prospective students come and get a tour, etc, like most colleges.

For some reason, they use this as the banner for it on their home page:



I'm not sure why the high school outreach admissions event for a Bible college should be represented by a figure with the body of an Office Casual man in chinos and buttondown shirt, and the head of a stag. It puts one in mind of Herne the Hunter or Cernunnos rather than Our Lord. And why the hell is he on a SEGWAY?

As a former Christian I have to say:

1. Not all Christians demand a Biblical explanation for each and every piece of science. The Bible describes a relationship with God, and only ignorant people insist that it also explain the motion of the planets or why we have aardvarks.

2. I.D. isn't just "positing an intelligent agent", it's denying the validity of evolution through natural selection. Many Christians are thoroughly able to believe that their God wills every single event in the universe, ever, without resorting to attacks on scientific theory.

3. This is probably the wrong place to have That Discussion about I.D. Back to making fun of pagan gods in chinos riding Segways, you!
