Rep. Broun: Evolution, Embryology, Big Bang Theory Are "Lies Straight From The Pit Of Hell"

From Rep. Paul Broun's (R-GA) remarks at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet on September 27, 2012, in Hartwell, Georgia:

BROUN: God's word is true. I've come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I've found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don't believe that the Earth's but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That's what the Bible says.

And what I've come to learn is that it's the manufacturer's handbook, is what I call it. It teaches us how to run our lives individually, how to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society. And that's the reason as your congressman I hold the Holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I'll continue to do that.

Should I like this because it's hilarious, or dislike because it's scary insanity?

[Caraidean]

I totally agree with your sentiment,

this man is in a very powerful position of power within U.S. House of Representatives...extremely disturbing,

how can he explain the megalithic temple/circle in Turkey at a place called Gobekli Tepe it dates to around 9,000 BC itself,

who built it then little green men from planet Broun?

[Roy Gbiv]

glad I don't live in Georgia, unfortunately it's still in the US.

[Staldren]

I don't know what to do either, I guess I'll just go cry in a corner.

It is only the areas that have large Jewish and ethnic influence.

I love the 647 decapitated deer on the wall.

You have to find the parts of the US where people have brains, it isn't that hard.

[Usul573]

Am I detecting a hint of desperation in him?

[LLORT3]

If by that you mean the president, no he and the Democrats are owned by AIPAC. The Jewish lobby is very powerful in USA and is connected to your business, financing and investment industries. Your country would go belly-up overnight if you messed with us, but you are more than welcome to try.

If you're not lying (and you probably are), you're in one on the few countries that the Man From Nowhere would attack.

Good luck with that, I live in Israel. :)

[fascistcat]

Nobody here cares why you hate us. Stay in your sh%thole country and hate us to your heart's content.

If you leave that tepid pool of filth and come here to slaughter our children, we reserve the right too fire-bomb your cities and nuke the ashes.

Begone.
