Christian Group Seeks Removal Of Dinosaur From Tucson McDonald's

[Ptah]

A group called Christians Against Dinosaurs has called for the removal of a dinosaur statue at a Tucson McDonald's franchise.

TUCSON, AZ — A Tucson landmark won't be going extinct anytime soon. Attempts to remove a fiberglass dinosaur statue outside of a McDonald's have been thwarted.

A group called Christians Against Dinosaurs denounced the T. rex statue on its Facebook page and called for its followers to rally in an effort to remove the statue.

"Please help! This McDonald's has this dinosaur and refuse to remove it!" according to the Arizona Daily Star. "This is in Tucson, Arizona. Call the manager and demand the removal of this blasphemy!"

The post has since been deleted, but it also included the contact information for the McDonald's franchisee, Dias Management Inc. The organization owns many McDonald's locations in the Tucson area.

1. Too real for them?

Fk off idiots!

[SharonClark]

2. Not the Onion?

Don’t these nuts usually think dinosaurs lived among early humans, claiming it was 6000 years ago? Now the nut cults even have nut cults.

16. I've seen that image before....

Exposes the stupidity of Christian creationists.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I think it was intended as a joke.

[AZ8theist]

20. Of course it was a joke. That's the whole point.

Some Christians believe the image is an accurate representation of history.

5. Ok.

This reminds me of my friends fanaticle Seventh Day Adventist sister. She claimed man was here first then created Dinosaurs and left then came back and destroyed them.

All I can do is laugh, shake my head, and roll my eyes.

7. Wtaf?

[Doreen]

9. Yeah, crazy.

I asked my friend several times if she actually believed that and he said yes every time.

[SheltieLover]

15. Cripes!

Sad. What an idiot.

Do these people not believe it is a "sin" to not reason with the brain they have been given? Oh, wait... Never mind.

12. Left to go where?

[Doreen]

14. I do not know and I do not think I would want to know.

8. They sound like heretics

I thought that all the dinosaurs just died in the Noah's Great Big Flood. Now I'm all confused.

10. Radicals have zero tolerance for any thought or thing they don't countenance.

13. I did my grad internship at a hospice bereavement center

Had a very religious, bereaved client come in who thought she was "crazy" because she could feel and hear her departed loved one around her after the departed's death.

She felt "very guilty because the Bible doesn't talk about dinosaurs." (Most common effect.)

Not wanting to denigrate her beliefs, I simply said, "Well, have you ever been to the Natural History Museum in Chicago?"

She nodded yes.

I asked her if she saw the huge dino skeletons.

Again she affirmed.

So, I told her, "Well, maybe the Bible just didn't go there."

The relief was palpable. Someone gave her permission to think for herself.

Cripes... Maddening.

17. Is there a group called Dinosaurs Against Christians?

I’d gladly join that.

[AZ8theist]

18. If any of these fucking MORONS had an ounce of intelligence....

Then "Christians Against Dinosaurs" would realize that a subset of dinosaurs still exist today and are all around us.
They're called "birds".

I've been to the Field Museum in Chicago, as well as many others. At the Field, they have the incredible T-Rex fossil, "Sue". Absolutely amazing specimen. All one has to do is look at Sue's 3 pronged feet, and compare that to modern birds feet. The resemblance is uncanny.
EVIDENCE that dinosaurs existed and evolution is a fact. Not complete evidence, but another data point in the MOUNTAIN of evidence for evolution and fossil record of extinct species.

If the "Christians Against Dinosaurs" crowd would pull their heads out of their Buybull ass, and read a scientific journal once in a while, maybe, just maybe we wouldn't have to deal with so many FUCKING IMBECILES.
