t’s the same with religion: I just don’t get it. There may be a God or—I was raised Unitarian

Ahh, that explains so much.

He equates those who believe the Bible with those who believe in magic. He has no credibility.

There are two things that bug me about Unitarianism.

The first is that it is no longer a religion, but more of a political discussion club that meets on Sundays.

The second is that these folks don't see the Bible as an authoritative document, yet they expect me to not only live by it as if it is, but live by their interpretation of it. If not, I'm a greedy warmongering fundamentalist.

Some people just let their emotions, in this case hate, get in the way.

about government making “no law respecting an establishment of religion"

Not government, Congress -- i.e. the federal legislature (and sure as hell not the federal judiciary). This "enlightened", "rational" man seems to want to obfuscate the difference. Is he a constitutional ignoramus like most of the left, or is he doing it on purpose? I'm not sure, but he sure looks like a fool to those of us who really are rational.

True.

“INTELLIGENT DESIGN,” they wrote, caps lock on, “IS NOT SCIENCE. INTELLIGENT DESIGN IS NOT BIOLOGY. INTELLIGENT DESIGN IS NOT AN ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC THEORY.”

True enough. But science and biology are not the sole way to pursue truth. Matter of fact, evolution gets too be less and less a science the further you go back -- I'm inclined to think evolution happened although the origin of life through evolution remains a working model more the a testable theory -- like intelligent design is.

As for intelligent design, I know it happened, but not through the scientific method. I also know my daughter loves me. No science there either. Matter of fact I know 2+2 is 4. No science there either, just a conventional model.
