Is the Heart of the Universe is Satanic?

The Neurophilosopher points to a weblog with a very special grip on reality.

Blogs4Brownback is a site dedicated to putting Sam Brownback into the Whitehouse. Brownback seems to be an interesting candidate adhering to the motto “A faith isn’t for life, it’s just for Christmas”. He’s moved from Methodism to Catholicism and now, if Blogs4Brownback is to be believed, he’s chasing the Satanist vote.

The clues are fairly blatant. He’s anti-abortion and pro-war clearly to curry favour with his new master who wants to see suffering. The weblog shows him baring his teeth in a satanic grin through a vandalised American flag charred with brimstone. And now he’s arguing that children should be taught that the universe revolves around Satan.

The logic is fairly simple. As Dante made clear Satan lives in the heart of Hades deep in the underworld. Blogs4Brownback add the innovation of perverting Biblical scripture to promote Satan. The Earth, they argue, is fixed and immovable in the Bible, thus the universe revolves around it. Except when it gets pudgy and goes for a run around the Sun. Brownback is also an advocate of intelligent design which is a Satan-friendly form of Creationism.

Ah no, it’s not linked from the Brownback campaign site. Presumably it’s a spoiler to blacken his name. Amusing though.
