I did not "alter the title" - I merely flagged the title as something that would be of particular interest to secular humanists. Do you know any other chumps who would be in the market for paintings done by chimps?

uuumm OK, Do have any evidence that Howard Hong and all the other people who bid on these paintings are secular humanist or even non-Christians? Or is this another case of you being so ashamed of your religion that in order to prop it up you have to attack people with different beliefs by making silly assertions?

Attacking people of "other" beliefs?

There are only two beliefs.

[1] God-centered one

[2] Each man as his own god-centered one.

Do you know of any other beliefs?

I like the chimp's work. Very nice, floral-like designs.

A lot better than Andy Warhol, to be sure. Of course that's not saying much.

uuummm Polytheism or things like Shintoism where they worship other people

I don't understand what that has to do with your unsubsaniated claim that only secular humanist bidded on these paintings.

Can you back up your assertion or not?

Meanwhile, scores of extra-chromosome hicks actually believe that "creation science" is an actual science.
