They aren't looking for truth, they are looking for salvation, which, they are told, allows them to live forever.

Of course the joke is...only AFTER they've already died!

But they don't get the punch line.

(Faith doesn't require intelligence, evidence, effort, or truth. It only requires "pretending".) Pretend it equals 5.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

That was 4 "Yes!" Not 5

Great Clip!

The following are stolen from the comments on Pharyngula.

Agnostics: Oh I don't believe that two plus two equals anything but four. But, I'm not one of those people who swear it's four.

Mormon: Two plus two equals SEVEN. I had proof, but an angel took it and flew to heaven.

Gould: Two plus two can equal four, but it can also equal five. It really depends on the level of twos you use. We all just have different but non-overlapping values for two.

The odds of 2+2 equaling precisely 4 out of all the possible numbers it could equal is less probable than a tornado blowing through a junkyard and assembling a Boeing 747.

Zen Buddhist: We are all one. 2+2 = 1.

Radical atheist are a kind of religous fundamentalists. You continuously need to save the rest of the world. Be happy (if you can because you have a lot to do)

If atheism is a religion then not collecting stamps is a hobby

I've got loads of such hobbies. Not running marathons is my favourite.

God OR no God, in the observable universe accessible with current knowledge, 2+2=4. If your God says five, your God is - and I know this is a technical term, please look it up if you need to - wrong.

Faith is belief in that which is unprovable. Belief in the contrafactual is the result of brainwashing, ignorance or possibly a delusional or psychotic state.

Oh, I'm always fun over the Cakes and Ale...

Thanks for Your Clip ! You Know, I have noticed that when I don't Understand why someone is making a very opposite choice than what is obvious.. I say "Don't They Know 2+2=4?" I wondered where I got that phrase from..having no idea that there were people out there that could actually conceive of such a thing.. I honestly thought I got it from "Barney Fife" on "The Andy Griffith Show" ! So, Thanks for sharing this Clip..You have set me free from wondering, and giving me something new to pay attention to! Thanks! Oh, one last thing.. Do you have any thoughts on the phrase " What comes first the chicken or the egg? ".

Castle Hills First Baptist School
MATHEMATICS
Students will examine the nature of God as they progress in their understanding of mathematics. Students will understand the absolute consistency of mathematical principles and know that God was the inventor of that consistency. Mathematical study will result in a greater appreciation of God and His works in creation.
GEOMETRY
The study of the basics of geometry through making and testing conjectures regarding mathematical and real-world patterns will allow the students to understand the absolute consistency of God as seen in the geometric principles he created.
PRE-CALCULUS
The students will focus on the mathema...

I don't find it amusing. This is a school in the USA.

How are these kids meant to tell truth from fantasy. In my view it amounts to child abuse - not amusing at all

Have a closer look at what they're doing to these children.
