He was trying to expose the agenda of the so-called 'Brights'- an athiest group that has established a goal directed at the removal of all Christian reference and iconography associated with American government.

Mr.Atos, there was an editorial by Daniel Dennett that ran in last Thursday's New York Times regarding this "Brights" movement. He's coordinating this effort with Richard Dawkins in England. (Both men are famous evolutionary biologists/cognitive scientists.) Apparently, these guys are griping that Brights -- atheist intellectuals who gravitate to Left progressive political ideology -- have 'way insufficient social and political power in the West. Notwithstanding that they control our most prestigious American institutions of higher learning, the major mass media (print and electronic), and a huge part of the American political class (e.g., the Democrat party), they still don't have all the "influence" they deserve!!! And all because of those dim-witted, God-believing, patriotic "Dims"!!! (I.e., culturally and politically conservative people.)

Whatta joke!!!

Another powerful secret cabal I haven't been asked to join.

Well, when my destructo ray finally works, I'll show them. I'll show them all! They scoffed at my ideas! Now they will bow before my omnipotence! BwahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!

There you have it:

Another piece of information linking rabid evolutionists to anti-American leftists. As time goes on, it becomes clearer why evolution zealots feel the need to infiltrate a conservative web site.

After further review.... (Football season must be coming up.) ...I think that this little vignette from "Friends" is emblematic, intentionally or inadvertently, of the debates and congnative dissonance being fomented between modernists and postmodernists.

Neither will find satisfaction of heart, as they fight each other like Philistines turned by the Lord against each other, but I continue to think that the later have been serving to disrupt the denial of the former. (That, as you maintain with postmodernism's grandpappy Fredrich Nietzsche, bb.)

Meanwhile Christ will continue to work through Logos, Rhema, and those who have already crossed over from death to life, to tell the truth in love and allow new life to begin where old, unsatisfactory and never suitable husks are shed. Call me a doubter --I strongly doubt that even the gates of Hollywood will prevail against the Church.
