BTW, evolution per se has nothing to do with my atheism.

It doesn't have annything to do with mine either, but I do see it as fair game for attack:

#1. nothing is sacred;

#2. the creationists vote and I genuinely hate the Marxists, certainly more than the religionists do (I do not see hate, greed or killing as being “sins”);

#3. I don't see any reason as to why evolution is the only theory that has such exalted status in education or how the federal government (including the courts) have any say so in the matter.

#4. I also view some of these critics of the religionists as enemies (you have not done or said anything to be included in that - yet). Many of them have the only purpose of being here to subvert my political objectives.

And when I say enemies, I mean the type I have encountered on a real battlefield, not in some mealy-mouthed courtroom with tassle shoed lawyers or sheltered, weakling university professors and television talking heads.

Now, as far as evolution is concerned, I see life through a prism of warfare. A lot of these chumps really wouldn't make the natural selection cut with with guys like me around if they didn't have some of those godist, religionist, bible thumping types manning their armies to protect them.

I'll stick with my comrades at arms because I know I can count on them. These other guys, I can count on them for nothing, except maybe a stab in the back...

Obviously you aren't talking about archaeologists! Why, we wrestle dinosaurs!

Actually, in a pinch we can make bow and arrows, spears, stone tools, grind acorns, and in general know an awful lot about primitive technology.

Need your hand-ax sharpened? Who you gonna call?

#1. nothing is sacred;

Who said something was?

#2. the creationists vote and I genuinely hate the Marxists, certainly more than the religionists do (I do not see hate, greed or killing as being “sins”);

And this has what to do with the discussion? Are you under the bizarre misconception that an evolutionist must be a Marxist?

#3. I don't see any reason as to why evolution is the only theory that has such exalted status in education

It doesn't have any "exalted status", actually. But it gets attacked more than any other, so of course you'll notice defenses of it more often.

or how the federal government (including the courts) have any say so in the matter.

Because the attacks are religiously motivated and done in a way intended to get thinly disguised religious views taught in public schools, which is a violation of the First Amendment. Try reading a newspaper.

#4. I also view some of these critics of the religionists as enemies (you have not done or said anything to be included in that - yet).

Because...?

Many of them have the only purpose of being here to subvert my political objectives.

Paranoid much? Which of your "political objectives" are you fantasizing that Freeper evolutionists are "only here" to subvert? And what's your alleged evidence for this persecution complex?

And when I say enemies, I mean the type I have encountered on a real battlefield, not in some mealy-mouthed courtroom with tassle shoed lawyers or sheltered, weakling university professors and television talking heads.

Yes, yes, let me know when your chest-beating dies down.

Now, as far as evolution is concerned, I see life through a prism of warfare. A lot of these chumps really wouldn't make the natural selection cut with with guys like me around if they didn't have some of those godist, religionist, bible thumping types manning their armies to protect them.

Ooookay... Ignoring the additional chest-beating, this diatribe raises some questions. If you are indeed an atheist, as you claim, and a "warrior", then:

1. Why do you presume that it's the "godist, religionist, bible thumping types" who "man their armies", without the asistance of other warrior-atheists like yourself? Do you think you're somehow unique or special?

2. You don't actually know any of "these chumps", so on what massive presumption are you basing any of your hasty conclusions about what they might or might not do in a pinch?

3. Your being an (alleged) atheist rules out deity-related origins, and your obvious antipathy to evolution rules that out, so what sort of position do you have on where/how mankind originated?

I'll stick with my comrades at arms because I know I can count on them. These other guys, I can count on them for nothing, except maybe a stab in the back...

You presume very much based on little besides than your prejudices.
