I wasn’t around last night, so I just had my first opportunity to read the new entries.
I have to say that the pages on Conservapedia’s loathsome and stupid attempt to deny relativity came as close to making me physically ill as anything I have ever read here. In a way, this is surprising, since we have had some seriously appalling items come across these pages in the past nine years.

Somehow, though, the physical atrocities of the terrorists do not strike as deeply as the frontal assault on the truth being waged today in the name of piety and godliness. This is obscene, fundamentally indecent in a way that no mere outrage against human bodies could equal. This might be because ideas survive their originators, where bodies do not. To attack a noble achievement of intellect is an offense against the human heritage; a threat to our collective, rather than just our individual, survival.

God damn these infernal quacks and their satanic lies.
