Reply #23: The Cult of Intelligent Design & Tricks of the Agenda [View All]

The Neo-Nazi-Cons are in a bit of a pickle. They've used abortion and gay marriage as their tools to cattle prod the evangelicals. Now that they have the power to push through either initiative, they simultaneously risk losing the catalyst and triggering a backlash. They are trying to finagle a way to stall implementation long enough to get more mileage out of the "moral" zombies. They also either need a way to put off both anti-abortion and anti-gay legislation and somehow blame it on the Democrats or they need to come up with some other theocratic issues to distract the faithful. The anti-evolution movement is a test for a new issue. I have a feeling it is making a lot of noise but just doesn't have enough zealot-momentum to spark a real national drive. Instead, the hidden strategy is likely the early volley for school vouchers (i.e. compromise with us on this, so we won't shove anti-science down your kids' throats).

In any case, let me say again that the way to combat ID is simply to speak up and call the people pushing it cultists. That's what they are. ID is equally bad science and bad religion as it puts God on an equal footing with benevolent aliens. It isn't fact; it's science fiction. It isn't religion; it's cultism.
