Just substitute "materialist" for "liberal". At the risk of violating Godwin's Law, I say: just substitute "materialist" for "Jew" and you get the reason why I though this post deserved an answer despite what I think of a blog like UD. I was willing to lose an argument for the sake of human consideration and to regard an opponent as a person. I ask the same of Denyse O’Leary. I am tired of her dehumanizing tactics.  I’m not sure what O’Leary is trying to accomplish other than to whip up hatred when she waves this “materialist” flag in a manner that makes it sound like her infidels are just a bunch of nihilists who hate puppies and small children and everything nice. Is that what they're reduced to? I thought that after Dover it was "back to the lab." There are several people at UD who seem to think that atheists/materialists are not much more than the devil incarnated. The ironic thing is that some posters there have suggested it's only a religious belief that stops them committing all sorts of heinous crimes. Denyse, like many UDers, is trapped into thinking that accepting Darwinism means extrapolating our morals from "survival of the fittest". All her posts go to show that ID is nothing to do with science, it's simply religion and a warped view of morality.

The reason I believe most fundamentalists (or at least fundy leaders) ass-u-me atheists must be grandma murdering, orgy loving, drunken homosexuals is their own "obedience" is rooted in fear of the judgment of God rather than any rational and reasoned morality. I truly believe most of them would live completely differently if they lost their faith.  They fail to see any reason for moral behavior beyond eternal punishment. The sad thing is the Christian view of morality is one that begins internally and manifests itself on the outside, while the morality tales and verbal assaults referred to as sermons today are designed to create people who look externally like Christians but are internally immoral. I don't need a sermon to tell me how to love someone.  If it's in me then I do it.  If it's not then I won't.

Unfortunately, this essay isn't up to Dave's normal level of scholarship.  Ya see, the Preamble doesn't mean all that much when it comes to constitutions, the good stuff comes after the preamble. For example, in my state of Oklahoma (*) we find this little nugget:   Quote SECTION II-5 Public money or property - Use for sectarian purposes. No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such. And, in Texas, where Dave lives, we find this:   Quote Section 7 - APPROPRIATIONS FOR SECTARIAN PURPOSES No money shall be appropriated, or drawn from the Treasury for the benefit of any sect, or religious society, theological or religious seminary; nor shall property belonging to the State be appropriated for any such purposes. (*) Hey Dave, how are the Longhorns chances in the Big 12 Championship tonight?  Oh, wait.  They aren't playing.  Boomer Sooner! -------------- It's natural to be curious about our world, but the scientific method is just one theory about how to best understand it.  We live in a democracy, which means we should treat every theory equally. - Steven Colbert, I Am America (and So Can You!)

Well, Dave, one doesn't commemorate the first anniversary of an event, one commemorates the event itself. And while you may already be fondly remembering the first anniversary of Doverloo, I'll need to wait another 2 1/2 weeks to do so. Must be a time zone thing. BTW, the citizens of my great State of Ohio, grateful to Almighty God, established a constitution that states "No person shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any form of worship, against his consent; and no preference shall be given, by law, to any religious society; nor shall any interference with the rights of conscience be permitted." -------------- Myth: Something that never was true, and always will be.

Personally, I was somewhat surprised by the stealth curse. Having been banned at Uncommon Descent for so much as mentioning to DaveScot that Scientific American is not a peer reviewed scientific journal, I thought that perhaps DaveScot was trying to, er, elevate the quality of the discussion. The first few references are interesting. The first does concern a tirade against Feloniousmonk, but the caster of the aspersions comes off very poorly. On the next several, the use of the term is not applied to or used by Feloniousmonk. All-in-all, the link shows pretty poor Google skills. However, a similar Google for DaveScot and the term of choice yields this Bit of History. -------------- You never step on the same tard twice—for it's not the same tard and you're not the same person.

It had to be good, considering he's one of the very few people who has ever been banned from there at all (funny especially when one considers that Dembski and his crew routinely complain about science censoring dissent). Yeah, it's good. Here what he said (here's where he said it): Quote H fckng sshls. plgz t Dvsn NW bfr gt pssd ff nd strt fckng wth . dn't wnt t mk m md. Trst m n ths. r scrt scks bg tm. For those left scratching their heads, the moderation form exercised on this post is known as "disemvowelment". A, E, I, O, U and Y are stripped from the post. The leftover mess is nearly unintelligible and requires (for the regular joe) a bit of time to decipher. It's a great option to use against those who like to troll and derail comment threads to use as their own personal soapbox. Very few will bother to read post-disemvowelment posts because of the effort involved. That must really suck for a troll who's hard at work striving for attention. Anyway, here's the translation: Quote Hey you fucking assholes. Apologize to Davison NOW before I get pissed off and start fucking with you. You don't want to make me mad. Trust me on this. Your security sucks big time. Incidentally, here's what DaveScot says about the ban (source): Quote My comments were arbitrarily deleted and disemvoweled at Panda's Thumb. Trying to escape that treatment I resorted to using randomly selected names. I was then banned for using multiple names. Integrity at its finest, folks. Gotta love them hypocrites.

(No more pretending that ID has nothing to do with God, even for Dave).  By implication, he approves of the mingling of state and church. I recalled that one or two state constitutions included provisions intended to isolate matters of conscience and religion from the state.  I looked into it, and found a handful: Alabama: That no religion shall be established by law; that no preference shall be given by law…that no one shall be compelled by law to attend any place of worship; nor to pay any tithes, taxes, or other rate for building or repairing any place of worship, or for maintaining any minister or ministry...
