I don’t understand the weird posts about religion. This thread is about an unproven drug being pushed in WalMart. Unbelivable reaction!

It's a ridiculous reaction, to be sure, but not surprising. The media has made it a priority to portray people of faith as "bible thump'in" anti-scientific breakthrough, stupid, prejudiced, yahoo's. The left loves to break out those themes in discussions like these. The problem is faith and intelligence/scientific inquiry are not mutually exclusive, of course, but that's not the way it is being painted. It's intent is to marginalize people of faith and any position they might posit.

I think some conservatives on FR have been tainted by the pervasive attitudes of the left. And I was surprised by that.

The thing is that this subject is just common sense. I read stuff on Gardasil a few months back and even their trial studies were tainted. But common sense isn't overcoming the "SCARE THEM!" hype in the press. This subject doesn't even need Scripture, just the truth.
