but seriously, don't you get tired of dogging people who hold faith in a higher power than themselves? it goes in spurts around here. nothing for awhile, and then several threads will careen off into christian bashing.

Lately it's mostly been me. Why? Few reasons:
More stuff about a new party back in Australia that tried to make abortion and creationism election issues. The whole Kansas 're-defining science' shit. Some groups pushing the creationist thing over here. mrnoodle.
I said it in the above thread, I don't give a fuck what people believe but I'm sick to the teeth of them trying to thrust their wacky fucking views on everyone else. I mean just look at OnyxCougar 2 posts above trying to claim that a scientific theory is religion for fucks sake. These people and this battle are in danger of becoming the defining cultural struggle of the 21st century, the rational verses the religious. it's not about love thy neighbour it's about trying to stop thy neighbour marrying his same-sex partner or forcing my religion down the throats of thy neighbour's son in public-funded schools or stopping thy neighbour having an abortion. As far as I and many others are concerned there is no more place for this shit in politics than there is sharia law or any other religious code.
While your teacher might've gone a little far lookout why in hell should time be given in a classroom to anything other than scientific theory?. Should the class on the solar system be prefaced with - 'this is only a scientific theory, some people think the earth is a disk that sits on the back of four elephants that in turn stand on a gigantic turtle swimming though space'? Why not? Comes from the teachers of another fucking huge religion.
