Related: About this forumDonald C. Johansen accepts the Emperor Has No Clothes Award
Johansen is the latest recipient of FFRF's award, presented at the recent FFRF convention in Los Angeles. We were going to attend this one but I ended up with some (rather) emergency surgery and I had not recovered by the time of the convention. It's on our calendar again next fall in Madison, Wisconsin. This runs 46 minutes, including the intro by Dan Barker.
Donald showed a few slides during his talk. The toon below was hilarious and I had to steal it.

(725 posts)3. One of the great take-away lines from this address.
Speaking about the ugliness of Ken Hamm and all the "creationist" elements in our current world, and their "museums" attracting children to believe in the Bible stories:
"The longer time you have a mind that is shut down, the more time there is for bigotry to develop."
