re: #290 quickjustice
“If creationists fail in their political efforts to force religion down the throats of public schoolchildren, what might they do next to defend the Lord? I admit: That’s speculation.” And I’d still say it’s paranoia. I don’t know how long it’s been since an abortion clinic was bombed by a “creationist” but I sincerely doubt that “creationists” are trying to cram creationism down our throats. People who are at or support the Disco Institute YES. But I know a few “creationists” who, quite frankly, don’t care whether or not I believe in creationism (other than, I suppose, perhaps praying for my salvation). I’ve engaged them in discussing YEC (which they all seem to be) and talk about carbon dating and all and they smile and say something to the effect of “to each his own”. Now the Disco Institute, Ben Stein and his lot DO CARE ABOUT cramming it down our throats and about teaching it in the public schools, but as wrong and as slimy as I think they are, I really don’t see them calling for genocide, ya know?
