This is one of the really horrible side-effects of creationism. It gives all religion a bad name. It gives conservatism a bad name. It gives Republicans a bad name. The media loves to get hold of someone like ... well, we've got a dozen or so I could name, and put them up as a talking head as a "typical" respresentative of the conservative viewpoint. It's the very worst thing we've got, and it holds the conservative and Republican movements back. No sane person wants to join a movement that seems to be loaded with creationists, and that's the way the media like it. If only we could persuade the creationists to become democrats ...
Remember the Scopes trial, the creationists were Dims then, fighting off atheistic yankee nonsense.
Totally. It's a blot on Christianity. It's a blot on everything that harbors it.
Your crocodile tears do not sell Patrick. Why would an atheist like you be worried about religion being discredited. You constantly do your best to do so all the time.
