In my own view, in answer to Dave’s question, I would think the probability is very remote that they were PandasThumb Denizens. PT’s not quite that deep in the swamp compared to say (….site names withheld…) But It would be worthwhile indeed to inquire what website these guys visit. In fact it was some internet posts they made which uncovered some incriminating evidence which is in the article linked above from Christianity Today. This is a curious instance of how the press will rush to paint criminals as not religiously motivated when Christian churches are being desacrated. The jury may still be out on them, but the point is the media is not being very swift in reporting certain things… How does this relate to ID? In contrast, look how quick religious motivations are put to the front in the media, when the truth is, these are legitimate scientific questions which Darwin himself was willing to entertain…. The media is unwilling to insulate the question of ID from religious motivations, but quite willing to avoid mention of the religous views of these suspected criminals. I had to dig quite a bit to find the above information. Salvador Filed under: Intelligent Design — scordova @ 10:38 am 2 Comments »   1.      Hateful speech leads to hateful actions. Panda’s Thumb encourages hateful speech towards the prototypical “fundie” - evangelical southern Baptists. You know that. I can only then conclude you don’t believe that hateful speech leads to hateful actions.      I found a link worth looking at in yours describing the so-called “Culture Wars” in more brutally honest terms “The War On Christians”. This is exactly what is going on. It’s politically incorrect in the United States to pick on minorities of any kind but Christians are a majority so they’ve become fair game. The “Angry White Male” that 10 years ago was credited with Gingrich’s “Contract With America” that began the conservative Republican ascendence to political dominance now has lots of company in the liberal Democrat doghouse - strongly religious Christians of any color.      I just can’t wait to see the results play out from this further bit of idiocy from the loony left that hijacked the Democratic party as they’re now working hard to alienate two of their largest and most loyal remaining political bases - Catholic Hispanic Americans and Baptist African Americans. It’s almost getting alarming as their destruction of the Democratic party moves us further towards what for all intents and purposes is a single party system.      Comment by DaveScot — March 13, 2006 @ 11:26 am   2.      “Hateful speech leads to hateful actions. Panda’s Thumb encourages hateful speech towards the prototypical “fundie” - evangelical southern Baptists. You know that. I can only then conclude you don’t believe that hateful speech leads to hateful actions.”      I don’t think this follows. For one, the phrase ‘hateful speech leads to hateful actions’ would need to be amended to read ‘hateful speech necessarily leads to hateful actions’, a claim that I think is not true. Another problem is the notion of ‘hateful’. Perhaps I find it hateful when I’m told that I will go to #### because I don’t accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior. Should I worry about the speaker (or one of his followers) taking action to speed me on my way? (I don’t worry, by the way.) And perhaps I find referring to people as ‘loony’ as hateful. Does that mean that I can expect DaveScot to soon commit a hateful action? Probably not.      The point is that calling speech ‘hateful’ is not as clear-cut as one might like it to be. It is also not as productive as one might like it to be.      With respect to the original post, I won’t try to defend the media but would point out that we have been (overly) sensitized to religiously motivated violence and ‘hate crimes’ in this country. So when something happens to a church, one of the first questions that the media asks is “was this motivated by hatred for religion?” When the answer turns out to be ‘no’, that’s what they report. And that’s what people are asking as well, so it is probably appropriate that they do.      And they are doing the same thing in your second example: looking for religious motivations. If the media were less focused on religion as a motivation for actions we might see more facts and discussion of issues and less digression into off-topic areas.      Comment by Kipli — March 13, 2006 @ 12:03 pm

Arden Chatfield Posts: 6657 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Mar. 13 2006,10:35    I missed that: are the church arsonists actually 'Satanists', or is that just some gibberish some Christian website made up because it sounded good? Anyway, exhibit #847,456 demonstrating that ID is nothing more than Fundamentalist Christian apologetics, as if any of us needed convincing anymore... In regards to DaveScot & Sal's continuing infantile quest to blame 'evolution' for all the evils of the modern world, I have an observation: has anyone else ever noticed that whenever you see a bunch of crimes committed by teenagers who are supposedly 'Satanists', that the incident always seems to be in some heavy-duty Bible Belt red state area? Also, the 'Satanists' are usually the children of Christian families themselves. If Davey's theories about the evils of liberalism were true, wouldn't all these Satanists come from wicked liberal places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Madison, WI, New York, Boston, etc., and wouldn't they be the children of secular humanists, Jews, Buddhists, etc.? -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

They are rife in the areas you mentioned, among the people you mentioned. Also, they have completely infiltrated the highest realms of power. The president, the UN, the Federal Reserve, Congress, and the FBI are all stuffed with Satanists. And the judiciary. And universities. If you think some piece of evidence x refutes this idea, piece of evidence x was provided by a Satanist. They even believe that certain other conservatives / conspiracists, like Rush Limbaugh and Bo Gritz, are plants and/or Satanists themselves.

Yes, the policy seems to be that just about everything is Satanic unless proven otherwise. But the theory of Rush Limbaugh and Bo Gritz being Satanists would explain a lot, I have to say... Hmmmm... Also, these folks really don't like being reminded that there really is no such thing as 'Satanism' outside a Christian context. That is, in order to be a Satanist, you have to essentially have to accept the Christian concept of Satan, and specifically find Christianity compelling enough to rebel against. In other words, Satanism does not make sense as anything except a rogue form of Christianty. That's why Satanism only seems to pop up in conservative Bible Belt areas. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

The local paper, the Lake City Reporter, mentioned it and I believe pointed to Satanism. Whether or not they did, the community was pretty rapidly in the grips of Satanic Panic. It happens that I knew a guy named Travis, who was the brother of one of the robbers, and I can tell you they were just disaffected, apathetic poor southern aggressive boys.

ID, like other pseudosciences, is not a vehicle for arriving at the truth, but rather a shortcut to self-importance.  Making a name for himself in an established field would have been almost impossible for someone like Dembski, who would have been outshined by others more brilliant than he.  So instead he publishes to a crowd who lauds him as a genius for his degrees and his ability to spin pseudotechnical claptrap.  (For fun, compare the number of Google hits for William Dembski to, say, Ray Solomonoff.) Our friend Dave is an even sadder case.  Anyone who thinks that Dave can be dissuaded by criticism doesn't understand him.  He's desperate for attention of any kind, and has no qualms about alienating his readers since the internet will always provide him with more.  Unable to achieve recognition any other way, Dave settles for infamy as an immature, dull-witted jerk. I, for one, am no longer going to provide Dave with the acknowledgment that he craves.  I had another article ready to post on my UD parody (about the Inflammatory Filter, which gives no false positives), but instead I'm going to spend some time reading.  Then I'm going to read to my daughter, who loves to learn.

Dave may not care whether anyone likes him, but believe me, he cares about whether he is respected.  A big part of that is wanting to be right.  I've been watching him for a few months now, and I've seen the elaborate gyrations he goes through to avoid admitting a mistake to anyone, friend or foe.  Accurate criticism cuts him to the bone, which is why he invents reasons to ban intelligent skeptics from UD.
