Douglas County sheriff’s deputies are investigating the reported beating of a Kansas University professor who gained recent notoriety for his Internet tirades against Christian fundamentalists.
Kansas University religious studies professor Paul Mirecki reported he was beaten by two men about 6:40 a.m. today on a roadside in rural Douglas County. In a series of interviews late this afternoon, Mirecki said the men who beat him were making references to the controversy that has propelled him into the headlines in recent weeks. Mirecki

“I didn’t know them, but I’m sure they knew me,” he said.
Mirecki said he was driving to breakfast when he noticed the men tailgating him in a pickup truck.
“I just pulled over hoping they would pass, and then they pulled up real close behind,” he said. “They got out, and I made the mistake of getting out.”
He said the men beat him about the upper body with their fists, and he said he thinks they struck him with a metal object. He was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
“I’m mostly shaken up, and I got some bruises and sore spots,” he said.
Douglas County Sheriff’s Officials are classifying the case as an aggravated battery. They wouldn’t say exactly where the incident happened, citing the ongoing investigation
The sheriff’s department is looking for the suspects, described as two white males between ages 30 and 40, one wearing a red visor and wool gloves, and both wearing jeans. They were last seen in a large pickup truck.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 843-TIPS or the sheriff’s office at 841-0007.
Mirecki recently wrote online that he planned to teach intelligent design as mythology in an upcoming course. He wrote it would be a “nice slap” in the “big fat face” of fundamentalists.
The remarks caused an uproar, Mirecki apologized, and KU announced last week the class would be canceled.
And there is a crazy deranged liberal secular humanist professor at Princeton
who advocates essentially Nazi eugenic ideas for murdering children.
Can it get much crazier than that?
These are not exactly the most emotionally well-balanced people on the planet.
Liberal secular humanists say and do VERY deranged and insane things.
Being firm in one's convictions and expressing them vehemently is one thing. Advocating, or rejoicing in, a forced molecular rearrangement of a deluded professor is another. As one who is accountable before almighty God for my attitudes and actions, I am reasonably comfortable in recognizing moral repugnancies. At the same time I am puzzled to find moral outrage on the part of those who advocate anything but almighty God as present and active in the creation. Hence I was only stooping to their level in declaring that this incident is merely "nature taking its course." Incidentally, I believe if you look at the professor's original words you will not find a sarcasm tag attached or implied.
LOL! And what the heck is a red visor??
Yeah. Wonder if there was a shotgun in the gun-rack, a hound in the truck-bed, Elvis playing on the 8-track, a Bush bumper sticker, King James Bible on the dashboard, and one of their pregnant sister/wives keeping the engine running?

I guess he (they) must mean a ball cap. Red--for red state redneck. Red pickup truck. We've got to fill all the particulars.
This thread is an embarrassment to FR.
Another Christian misleading for God.
You know it doesn't count if they lie to infidels....
"See a Christian would never act in this manner, there is a Book that defines what is acceptable and what is NOT, and this does not fit a Christian profile."
Unfortunately, this Christian has seen many a hateful Christian who do exactly this sort of thing. Even a few that would blow up abortionists in the name of Christ.
Just because they are saved means little; we're all still works in progress.
A face almost everyone would love to stick a fist in.
Questioning suspects will go something like this:
Did you beat up the Proffessor? No but I would love to do so.
Are you implying that the Prof got ran over by a reindeer?
Reminds me of what the libs said during the Watergate days -- it's like turning over a flat rock and seeing the little wriggling things that are exposed.
LOL! And what the heck is a red visor??
I knew it. Time to pick him up.
Yup, we need to beat more people like the prof up--particularly if they're ugly--so that the world will see Christ's love in action, PRAISE JAY-SUS!
That's what I was thinking-Acadamian lingo for a ball cap.
I am seeing way too many parallels between Islam and Christianity when it comes to finding joy in violence for my comfort.

Me too.
Also, the lack of condemnation from other Creationists if this attack happened. Like "moderate Muslims" we hear about who won't raise their voices against violence.
"Just because they are saved means little; we're all still works in progress."
Unfortunately, most of those "works in progress" can be compared to the time-table of the average federal project, to include obligatory greasing of palms.
