The Rude Pundit: Christ Weary of Creationists
A little over the top, but damn do I love the Rude Pundit. He/she says what most of us our thinking, but to prissy to.
Here is a little taste of today's rudeness: "The point here is that, for the love of fuck, why are we going through this again? What combination of desperate economic times and religion-induced dementia is making us fight this battle over and over? In Kansas, starting yesterday and continuing today, is a debate over whether or not to require the teaching of "intelligent design" alongside evolution. "Intelligent design" is such a cutely ironic name, in the "Clear Skies Initiative" school of obfuscative rhetoric, because you have to be a complete fucking moron to believe in it. It's Christianity without mentioning Christ, because, if, say, the universe was really just shat out of the anus of a dark Baal-like deity, it'd totally fuck-up the whole "intelligent design" thing (but, goddamn, what a laugh we could all have, no?). And speaking of obfuscation, the members of the Kansas Board of Education who called the hearing didn't even have the balls to say that the true purpose was to put some kind of god back into the science classrooms. They claim they simply want to ensure that "criticism" of evolution is mentioned. Huh. Wonder what you'd use to criticize it, other than fake science, flawed axioms of desperation, and the Bible."
"The science side of the Kansas debate has decided they are not going to play this reindeer game. They're boycotting the hearings because they know the whole thing is a rigged detonator. Says one noble poindexter, "What anti-evolutionists are fond of doing is to take the disputes that exist in any living science and blow them out of proportion. These are brandished as evidence that evolution is a theory in crisis." So the Kansas Board of Ed's panel, led by a man who believes the earth is only 10,000 years old, can go fuck itself.
The only damage is that which is done to the students of Kansas, and elsewhere, as well as the fact that the rest of the nation will have to deal with the human results of the dumbed down standards of people who want us to return to the blissful ignorance of pre-Enlightenment thought, when the flock could be so easily, unquestioningly led." (My emphasis)
(Full Entry Here.)
I nearly shat, I have never laughed so hard. Sorry folks, but you bring this on yourself. Ignorance is no excuse to suck up the moronic platitudes of the folks who are really fucking up your lives. Allowing this debate to be even considered as some rigorous intellectual exercise, well, bend over, they are getting ready to ride rough with no lube and you placed this order that you cannot now cancel. Please wake up, NOW!!!
