The homeland of simple-minded...

Of course, in such a category we just can't get past the home country of simple-mindedness, can't we?

So, let's cross the borderline of rationality and reason and move right on to the center of the disk that they up to this day believe our earth to be. The earth — a disk, the fixed center of the universe with the sun, the moon and all stars circling around it, and the United States of America — God's own country — as its epicenter

The earth — a disk, created in 6 days by a likewise all-mighty, all-knowing and all-loving grandfather of Caucasian-white ethnicity, apparently unshaved for quite some time and generally wrapped into cloths of an unspecified fashion trend.

The earth — a disk, where evolution never took place, but where a few thousand years ago the already mentioned all-loving white-bearded grandfather, in the likeness of God, molded earth's first homo erectus from an acre's loamy soil. And HE lovingly named his mini-me Adam.

Being aware of a man's needs, soon HE decided to fabricate Eve, the female complement to his first creational attempt that, presumably for lack of sufficient fertile ground, he now made-up from a rib of the recently created dirt man Adam, who is said to have slept through this without any anesthesia whatsoever.

Now completed and let lose to multiply, these creations were soon entitled "intelligent design" (at the disk's center there is a widespread conviction about English being all-mighty granddad's native tongue — God's own language, so-to-speak).

Somewhat surprising: in the disk's epicenter you cannot call a negro negro, a baldhead bald, a fatso fat, short people short, disabled people crippled or a woman attractive without getting in trouble with an ombudsman for minority-related issues or a women's commissioner for sexual harassment. However, the fact that (to the best of my knowledge) each portraiture known to men shows these two creatures Adam and Eve with Caucasian-white ethnicity, slim, physically well-shaped and without any noticeable handicap has, in spite of its obvious political incorrectness, never led to common uproar among the non-Caucasian-white humanoids of our disk (and the ones on the globe). Well, I take the liberty to continue to express a high degree of lack of understanding for the disk's residents.

So let's throw a glance at a region where up to this day the majority of citizens (allegedly two thirds) believe that the tales written down in the Bible, the written manifest of all of these follies, literally happened like that.
