You know, the usual Templeton-funded stuff, aimed at sedating and anaesthetizing Christians in science while their hands are conveniently chopped off. They are more useful that way. […] Hands chopped off?  Has she got ISIS envy? In the OP she continues       Quote We should quiet our concerns by  developing two lives, one in which we assent that the unbelievable is true (and get good jobs)P. Otherwise,  we could assert what we know, as  believable and evidence-based, and then be marginalized or destroyed. Oh how the righteous suffer for the Lord!  Marginalized!  Un-hired by the big time magazines!  Forced to put up with retarded snots like..err.. The problem is not on her end!  When you've given your heart to Jesus, you get powers of discernment and see things like that. But one man has it even worse:             Quote No wonder Dembski became a hated man. Hated on both sides because, apart from any other way in which he might be a threat,  he offers lazy “Christians in science” a chance to fight – which they absolutely did not want.   They want to make a living by surrendering a bit at a time, via grants. Saint Dembski, Martyr.  He never surrendered, not a bit except maybe that one time about the flood and it didn't save his job any way, so it's as if he never surrendered.  Saint Dembski. Mung inadvertently has the last word.  "I would go up faster if we allowed more trolls." Yes you would.

Then Dembski writes a book that takes the common sense view that Noah's Flood never happened and he's dragged before the Dean, forced to recant his views and made to pledge fealty to a religious dogma he obviously doesn't believe in.  And he gets canned anyway! And the UD crew?  Instead of coming to the aid of their protector, they ignore his martyrdom and busy themselves flinging volleys of poo at the evil secularism, telling themselves how clever they are and banning those who disagree.  They forsook him three times before the cock even woke up.  Truly, "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."

"Don't forget teh Dembster still owes a book to The John Templeton Foundation maybe that's why his buddies at bible school thought waterboarding him was a good idea. " In the introduction to "Being as Communion", in the credits, he thanks the Templeton Foundation for their support and says this book is the one he owes them.  No reply from the Templeton boys so far.  Possibly they're still speechless.
