One route to wider public acceptance for an intrusive role of religion in government is to obtain control of public schools. The American people, right now, would not accept the stoning of disobedient children or the execution of homosexuals and apostates. But they did once, and there's no reason to believe that their attitudes, having been changed once, could not be changed again.

Uh, no, they didn't. Even Hester Prynne wasn't stoned to death.

Two can play this game. You want to attack religious believers? Well then, the Communists are your allies. Don't like being tarred with that brush? Then you should take a bit more care in your distinctions.

The Scarlet Letter is a novel, guy. Try to separate your fantasy world from reality.

I'm not attacking religious believers. I'm attacking fundamentalists. And your 'logic' is pretty much what I've grown to expect from them.
