Deep Thoughts

The Da Vinci code controversy has been full of dumb people with dumb comments so I thought I'd post one of my favorites and join the frey!

Tom Walmsley, who teaches religion and philosophy at Linn-Benton Community College, said he rarely reads fiction but he agreed to review "The da Vinci Code" for a gathering at the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library last year. "I couldn't put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it," he said.
Walmsley said a second reading to prepare for his talk revealed more of the factual errors drawing criticism, but he said the book's discrepancies don't bother him. "Anybody who knows anything about religion knows he (Brown) makes plenty of mistakes, but the errors are not that important," Walmsley said. "What is important is what if his story about Jesus is true, that Jesus and Mary had a sexual relationship and they had a child whose descendants are still living today? Suppose the story we've been told about the beginning of the early church has been wrong?"

Wow! That's brillant professor!
Hey, did you know Hitler actually won WWII and had plastic surgery to become JFK? Now the errors in my statement aren't that important. What is important is what if it's true?
Oh, and, and, did you hear that Haley's Comet brought aliens who will wisk you away to heaven if you wear Nikes and this jumpsuit? Now the errors in my statement aren't that important. What is important is what if it's true?
Man, this is fun, let me try one more. Did you know that complete morons can become college professors and be invited to speak in public? Oh, wait, that's true. Boy, that sucks.
