Evangelical ridiculousness: Christian group calls for Shamu stoning
Okay, so we all agree that Tilikum, the killer whale at Sea World who killed his trainer, is seriously dangerous to people. But the American Family Association wants to take things a step further, by doling out some Old Testament justice to the flippered demon:
The American Family Association, a conservative Christian organization, calls for the whale to be stoned. It says the Scripture says, “”When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable.” (Exodus 21:28)” Moreover, the AFA says the Scripture also lays blame on the curator at SeaWorld because the whale was not put down after previous incidents that involved killings.
No word on whether the AFA, which devotes much of its time to obsessing over gays in the shower stall and helping people experience Christian music in a new and exciting way, will also call for the stoning of the mosquito that bit its recently retired founder,Donald Wildmon last summer, causing him to come down with encephalitis.
