Religious Idiots

atheism is a respectable option.

Hey, it’s intelligent atheists vs. religious idiots! Somehow reading Dawkins nowadays makes me want to rush round to the nearest church and fall on my knees. The condescension in that last sentence….intelligent but not well educated.

I know, I agree, it is easy for me, living in Britain where religion has no power and it is religious people who feel the need to apologise (despite the paradoxical existence of an established church with the queen as its head).

Religion has no power in Britain?? Perhaps he hasn’t been following the news for the past month.

    Certainly in the media I detect that ID is largely ridiculed not for its science, but because it is associated with “religious idiots like Bush and those who voted for him”. There is only one idiot here, his name begins with a “D”, and it aint Dubya.

    ess amongst evolutionists which makes them aggressively intolerant of other lines of thought – it’s an aggression born of the many gaps in the theory. For example, can it really explain how we get from some sort of worm-like amphibious creature climbing out of the primordial swamp to, say, Scarlett Johansson? Even over millions of years of evolution that seems like an unbridgeable gap.

    The evidence for pervasive, public, and boistrously healthy secularism in the United States is at least as strong as the evidence for evolution in the Upper Devonian or whenever. Furthermore, it’s happening right now, and you can watch it in action instead of reconstructing it retrospectively.
    It takes major ideological blinders to deny either one. What a shame some parts of English society have allowed themselves to drift into a state where anti-American mania has become the respectable norm.
    Dawkins’ image of American life is a deranged fantasy. He’s an idiot.
