Let me start by saying that some of my best friends are Jewish, I know people who are gay (not that there is anything wrong with that!) and that not all muslims are terrorists. Oh yeah and I BELIEVE that from the information I have been able to read that the theory of evolution is almost certainly correct. Frankly, given what I think I know, the notion that the earth is less than 10,000 years old seems ridiculous. Of course, I wasn’t there when “it” whatever “it” may be, happened, and science demands that one keep an open mind even if you think something seems ridiculous at a given point in time. I will admit that I cannot tell you how “something” was originally created by a bunch of nothings bumping into each other, but my ability to ridicule creationists is that little something that helps me past the annoying “something from nothing problem” by focusing on how wrong the creationist must be.

I admit I enjoy the jihad against the Christian Fundamentalists. We can crap on them from our impression of what we think they actually believe and we can pooh-pooh their ideas out of hand just because they are Christian Fundamentalists. Most importantly, we can preemptively keep them out of office to be certain they will never be guilty of crimes we will not let them commit. I get the same endorphin release that the taliban must get when they behead someone for their ideas rather than going through the bother of finding out if they are guilty of anything. Once we blow the creationists back to the stone age they don’t even believe in to keep them out of office we can the focus our attention on keeping the Jews and the gays and the muslims and anyone else we don’t like out of office to ensure that none of their unpalatable thought crimes have a chance to even get started. If the global warming fair minded geniuses can use science to subjugate discussion we can too.
