Todd Wilkinson: [Former] Idaho Pastor Calls For 'Open Season' on Yellowstone Grizzlies
Wilkinson takes apart pastor Bryan Fischer’s arguments-
Todd Wilkinson: Idaho Pastor Calls For ‘Open Season’ on Yellowstone Grizzlies. Huffington Post.
Of course, rational argument hardly ever changes anyone’s religious beliefs. I think this is another confirmation that pushy religious extremists are getting involved in wildlife issues as part of their larger effort to dominate us. We are having to refight battles that should have been permanently won a hundred years ago.
I didn’t know this guy, Fischer, was actually chaplain of the Idaho State Senate. How creepy! He has now moved to Los Angeles.

Kookookachoo I am the Walrus, I am the Egg Man!
Pastor Nutjob indeed.
I think the “Creation Museum” in Northern Kentucky has a position for this guy. Actually, he might be a better exhibit than employee.
The first quote in the article is enough not to take this guy seriously. He needs to go back to 1692 Salem.
Fischer used to post rants about wolves and other godless beasts on his web site (Idaho Values Alliance) when he was based in Boise and running that organization. So his recent essay is nothing new coming from him. I’m sure you could dig up those old blog posts on that organization’s web site. I think he is actually based somewhere in the southeast – at least that’s where he went when he left Boise to host a nationally syndicated conservative radio show…
Okay, so does anyone not get it about Idaho politics after reading this?
I am in the process of reading Jon Krakauer’s book “Under the Banner of Heaven” . . I can only stand to read a few pages at a time. Yikes. I had no idea.
Fascinating read…makes Jospeph Smith sound like a more dishonest and kniving PT Barnum.
We are trying to isolate his defective genes.
This bear business is nuffin’! Wanna ee what a real nut this guy is – listen to this:

Scary thing is people like this don’t exist without a following.
JOHN LENNON
“Imagine”
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
So Imagine, what it would be like if there were no other human beings like Fischer in the world………..quoting the bible and automatically expecting the “faithful” to adhear to their doctrines…….imagine.
Maybe this “preacher” should start killing the talking snakes–the source of all sin–in the garden of eden!
