re: #1006 Naso Tang

I forgot to add to this, that your argument sounds kind of like the kid who thinks a teacher isn’t nice enough, and makes that a justification for not learning.

This is a dialog at some level, true, but mostly it is the battle between superstition and reason that humanity has always had.

Nah, I’m not justifying anything; creationism is still incorrect. But this tangent started when someone said the Darwin fish was just the Jesus fish with legs—faith plus reason, how sweet. That’s not at all what it is intended as, it’s an obvious slight where none is called for, and it contributes to the schism rather than bridges it.

As for someone being a jerk for displaying a “label,” do you feel the same way about a simple American flag?
