Basically, I left a random comment on this video, and actually got a response back!

Am I the only person here who thinks the student at the beginning made far more sense than Hovind did? The comments here will make great material for uploading to fstdt.com.
Also, just out of curiosity, can anyone explain to me how a translation by Elizabethan-era scholars will be more accurate than any given translation by scholars who have the Codex Sinaiticus, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and all the tools of 21st-century archaeology and textual criticism at their disposal?
Being an Aspie, I figured throwing in those references from my New Testament class would make it sound less like trolling. I didn't know what to expect, just that it was going to pure fundie idiocy. boggymark1 didn't disappoint.

If you're not "the only person," you should be.
Darwinism inspired Adolf Hitler to collaborate with his stooges who were "evolutionists" as an established matter of historical fact. Yes, those Darwinists set up the Nazi death camps. The infamous Holocaust that resulted from their admiration of Darwin's hypothesis of "natural selection" brought death to millions of innocent men, women, and children.
Evolution deceives the simple and unlearned, and there are no errors in the King James Bible.

Comedy gold. Bingo.
I figure the replies to my comments will make great material to post to FSTDT, I'm just not sure what exactly to post for maximum impact.
Maybe it's amusing to me because this is the first time I've personally argued with people that stupid-- with normal people, you troll by being batshit insane, not by asking educated questions. With these people, being batshit insane earns you brofists. I've heard about fundies ignoring logic, but experiencing it firsthand is different from reading what someone else posted. It's like arguing with someone brainwashed by the Khmer Rogue; you just get robotic answers thrown back at you. The question is ignored. Evidence is ignored. I'll post the comments up here if anyone wants. Otherwise, I recommend just going to the comments of the video.
Again, the stuff is probably old hat to most of you. Hardcore young-earth Creationism, I'm familiar with. But the insistence that even the most conservative Christians, if they read NIV, are 'scripture-twisting fag-enablers going to hell', is new to me. But I'd
love to get some feedback on the conversations I had with Dumb and Dumber, a.k.a. boggymark1 and jjpetkusiii.
On the subject of music to troll 'em with, I was thinking some classic death metal. Deicide, "Fuck your god" would be classic, but it's not that great.
The Christian death metal classic "Scrolls of the Megilloth" may be a good choice for the delicious irony.
Or, from one of my favorite black metal bands, THIS:
Any other metal suggestions?
