Atheist Raises Money for Vandalized Church

For those who are not intimately familiar with the ID debate and its substance (I assume that some who visit this website fall into this category) there is an acronym, FSM: Flying Spaghetti Monster.

This is an attempt by those who oppose any inference to design (the evidence be damned) within the cosmos or living systems, to portray such proponents as being out of touch with reality and incapable of thinking logically or rationally.

Of course, it is the Darwinist who has abandoned reason and logic in pursuit of a materialistic philosophical agenda that is being devastated on a daily basis by the discoveries of legitimate modern science.

As anyone who is familiar with the ID debate is aware, any dissent from Darwinian orthodoxy is attacked, especially in academe, not just with hostility, denigration, and outright wickedness, but with the literal destruction of careers and people’s lives.

If the “overwhelming evidence” is on the side of materialistic evolutionists, why must they resort to persecution of dissidents?

The link above provides some hope that perhaps sanity will prevail.

#5 nullasus While this development would be seen as positive, my own response is: It sure seems like a PR move. I expect some Jews said that about the Good Samaritan.markf

The first irony is that the secularist, anti-ID, "freedom-of-thought-and-inquiry" advocates are promoting, through intimidation and persecution, the exact opposite -- no unauthorized questions are allowed, shut up, and if you don't, your career will be destroyed. The second irony is that they accuse ID advocates -- whom they persecute and denigrate with the power and subsidy of government -- as being a danger to freedom of inquiry. If this isn't Orwellian, nothing is.GilDodgen

Gil, as we all know, tolerance is for the other guy. :) Darwinists have not abandoned reason and logic, they never had it in the first place. Parents have abdicated the responsibility for the education of their children. So who is to blame?Mung

Mung, In other words, they are the ones with totalitarian desires to impose their will and beliefs on others, even if force, persecution, and coercion are required -- all the while proclaiming that "tolerance and inclusiveness" are the highest virtues.GilDodgen

Because the "overwhelming populous" is against the materialist evolutionists. And they can't very well go into the main street of middle america, that would be suicidal. So they do what they can, where they can, keeping in mind their own desire to survive. They are Darwinists, after all.Mung
