What the devilare you talking about?
You have to be religious fanatic in order to be conservative?
You have to be a fundamentalist in order to have a consistent worldview?
Where do you live? Geez?
You sir, need to get a grip.

Interesting (re: post #8) how the fight against Darwin seems to leak into physics. I wonder, if Darwin had never published, whether there would be people fighting the teaching of physics in public schools, since physicists believe in the religion of physical laws. Hey, it's in their name.

You, sir, need to learn how to read.
The YECs at least have a worldview that involves 1.) a universal standard of morality and 2.) purpose to human existence, which no atheist can have.
Those beliefs aren't unique to YECs, and I wasn't implying that they were. Sure, you can be "conservative" - whatever THAT really means these days - and not be a YEC. But you can't call it consistent to say that humanity exists without a pre-ordained purpose and that YOU somehow have any 'rights' that anyone else ought to recognize.
No wonder so many non-theists are leftists. They're being a little more consistent.
