Joe the "Plumber": Bible truer than Science because it has never been revised. (I KID YOU NOT.)

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/how-joe-the-plumber-became-joe-bible-believing-christian

Back in April, Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, told Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody that he knows “God’s on my side” in his fight against Obama’s “socialist” and “anti-American” presidency. The GOP nominee for Ohio’s 9th congressional district, who is focusing his campaign on the supposed connection between gun control policies and the Holocaust, sat down with Brody for a second time today on the 700 Club and shared the story of his conversion to Christianity at a Frisch’s Big Boy.

Wurzelbacher explained how his pastor, who seems to believe that faith and science are incompatible, noted that while science textbooks have several new editions, the Bible has never been revised. “‘Revision Seven.’ He said, ‘now look at the Bible, what does it say’? I said, ‘Holy Bible.’ He said, ‘see any revisions on it Joe’? I said, ‘no.’ He said, ‘the reason why is because this is God’s word…man’s always looking for an answer, that’s why it’s revised.’”

He would never make a bigoted statement against Christians by saying they have a mind disease.

of a mind disease, but not that it in itself is a mind disease...

assuming you mean a diagnosable psychiatric illness.

Obviously it's not literally a mental illness, but it certainly damages the ability to think straight. Though I doubt that Joe ever could think very straight.

Use a bigger shovel and swing harder next time. What you're doing isn't working.
