I've always enjoyed the prose of Richard Dawkins. It is interesting how a lot people have no inkling of the term "theory" in its proper scientific context. I have great difficulty understanding people that deny evolution. BTW, one can accept evolution and still have religion.

Just on Fresh Air today they had an interview with Rachel Tabachnick about this subject.
http://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/

New Apostolic Reformation
The Evangelicals Engaged In Spiritual Warfare

A new Christian movement that seeks to take dominion over politics, business and culture in preparation for the end times and Jesus' return is becoming more of a presence in American politics. Rachel Tabachnick, who researches the religious right, explains its beliefs and influences.

Good listen IMHO.

Scared and pissed me off at the same time.

You know, I used to try talking to God, they told me it worked in church.

Well, I reckon God must of been too busy running the universe or something to waste his time with me.

Or maybe he just wanted me to figure it out on my own, which is pretty much what I did.

Now I got nothin' against God, and if he works for you I think that's great.

But if he was on my payroll, I'd fire 'em. I'm having to do my work and his too.

See you fellers in Hell,

I think Dawkins is a pompous ass, and the antireligionists he represents have been far more successful at limiting free speech than the evangelicals (that are suddenly the greatest threat to the US ever!).

And if Bachmann somehow wins, or Perry, freedom of religion will be done for? Amazing the power of Republican Presidents, particularly compared to Dem ones

There is a clear link in the Bible between a nations actions and its', um, happiness.

I wouldn't take any more hallucinogens. They are very bad for you. I wouldn't take any more hallucinogens. They are very bad for you. Wait, did I say that already?
