After 1 billion pics of the "part 2" of the family trip, they end with the Creation museum and "we had to go before OUR PASSES expired!" PASSES!111 !!!!!!! Its worse than I thought. I knew it was bad, but passes tot the C.M. makes them worse.

I think once you lost control of your "straight face" you would be graciously escorted off the premises. :naughty: Of course there is always a chance they would let you stay in hopes of swaying you with their irrefutable evidence. There is a display of men with dinosaurs and everything! :roll:

I'm going to brush up on my Dutch so that I can tour the CM with a group of like-minded believers* without fear of being shown the door.

*Believers in science, that is.

Why do fundies think it is a good idea to take young children to a conference on economics - I doubt they got anything out of it and were likely bored.

The following quotes are from the notes one of the Saunders took : "ebay is the root of all evil" and "money is a medium of exchange".

Oooh yeah, somewhere in their archives there's pictures of them visiting in-depth. Probably why they didn't really care this time. For some reason I think they went not long after the museum actually opened, so maybe there was a cheap opening deal for multi-year passes like they do at zoos and whatnot. They didn't seem to mention renewing them, and they certainly don't seem to go often, so maybe that could be seen as a plus.

For the older kids, the Family Economics conference seems to be a meat market of 20somethings. And they bring the younger kids probably because the whole point is including even the youngest kids in unpaid labor (did you see the line about "Give them the hotdog, and have your youngest son give them the soda"?). In the case of the Sanders, Noah was actually on a panel, so I could understand the whole family wanting to go and cheer him on.

I noticed all the kids (including the older ones) looked terribly bored in all the pictures.

And ebay is the root of all evil? Wow.

Ebay is the root of all evil because it encourages the fundies to buy more stuff than they can afford and then go into debt.

And if it's in a museum it must be true!

Until you can get there in person, you can get a nice foretaste courtesy of demonbaby.

Let's just say, demonbaby is not a fan of the viewpoint presented at the museum. So they mock it, with swears, but also with detailed pictures so you can read the text for yourself. Basically all the exhibits are a contrast of "Human Reason" (i.e. reality, this is supposed to be the "wrong! Bad!" part) and then "God's Word."

Nice animatronic dinosaurs hanging out in the Garden of Eden though.

I have always wanted to go to either the creation museum, the holyland experience, or one of those christian haunted houses completely high. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time, lol.

A friend and I almost went to the holyland experience on ou graduation trip, but we decided to spend the money to see Cirque du Soleil high instead, haha. Great trip.

I've done the Cirque du Soleil, it was memorable, and one of the xtian haunted houses. It was humorous and we laughed in all the wrong places. I'm really debating on just getting one of the tee shirts from the CM.

Is that the Maxwell Maxwells on the panel? Steve on the far left and Nathan 4th from the left?

What are they doing out socialising??

Since I'm the master of pocrastination I started reading the Sanders blog from the beginning instead of writing my paper. Right now I've already read until january 11. Throughout the last years they went to the CM at least three times and the have also met the Maxwells before. If I remember correctly, they described them as 'such a sweet family', and 'encouraging'.

Lol, you clearly have your priorities sorted!

I find it odd that the Maxwells seldom, if ever, mention meeting other fundie families. I think they mentioned meeting the Duggars once. I can totally see Steve thinking he's above these "wordly" people with their kids all married off and their nice clothes. I'm surprised that they socialise with them at all.

This. And especially the Sanders have to be really bad in Steves eyes.. besides all that crazy stuff that they are believing and promoting they seem to be a family that really loves each other and most of all they seem to have a lot of F.U.N. together..

Actually, the Maxwells had a photo or two of the Sanderses a few years ago when they met at a M. conference. There was a picture of Mama Sanders and her daughters and another picture of the little boys. I really can't remember when that happened and right now don't have time to search the M. blog, but it was like two or three years ago.

The Maxwells have met the Duggars at least twice and the last time was not so long ago, maybe a year and a half ago. I can clearly remember a picture of Joseph M. with Jordyn D. sitting at his lap. And if I recall it correctly, the Maxwells had a Duggar family photo on the fridge door in poor Uriah. Weren't the Duggars heavily promoting MOTH and chore packs?

The Maxwells probably have the Duggar's picture on the fridge to remind themselves to pray for their salvation. Sort of like the fundie blogs with the unreached brown ppl of the day widget.

He plays nice with the Duggars because they're his most well known promoters. And he has to go and schmooze at the Fundie Ec conference because even Steve knows the power of the almighty dollar. Their popularity is drying up and he knows it.
