I did that dipstick...but what was your point?

I mean other than the quite PAINFULLY obvious fact that the godless hijack religion as well as science, law, the Constitution, politics, journalism, history...

You clicked on the link? Really? It wasn't clear from this post:

I remember it very well, it was in response to one of yours.
Wasn’t it the ‘Gott Mitt Uns’ belt buckle? If it wasn’t then it was a mistake...
or wait, was it something about “if this were 400 years ago...”

Because if you believed when you posted the above, that “the godless(sic) hijack religion as well as science …” you post was quite pointless. You appeared to be confused as to what it was your own comment was about. If you don’t know, any guess of mine is just a shot in the dark. But I believe – correct me if I’m wrong – your snit started with this post of mine:

I think you demonstate the point of the article. Kids come to school steeped in creationism and carrying creation talking points written by Moonies. That side of the “controversy” is well taken care of.
It's not just the moonies who are supplying ammunition and training in the Great Leap Backwards. Creationists can also count radical Islamists as their bedmates.
The tenth century was very inclusive ... and may be again.

Let it be noted that the tenth century was more than four hundred years ago (for those of us who accept modern mathematics, anyway). But I don’t see what your problem is. You complain that “the godless hijack religion.” Okay. Fine. That takes care of Hitler and Stalin, both of whom you brought up. Like I said, you’ve dismissed your own argument.

I’m not sure about listing radical Islamists under the “Godless” rubric. They don’t conform to your version of your religion, of course, but then, most of the population of the United States probably doesn’t, either. Radical Islamists certainly seem to be quite fervent in their religion. One of them, Harun Yahya, whose website I’ve linked to, above, actively attacks evolution. He does it because he wants to promote radical Islam.

He’s been quoted, approvingly, right here on FR.

I find that appalling.

That’s what my comment to js1138 was about. But as long as you appear to be interested, here’s the question: Do you join the radical Muslims in their war on science?
