I'm pretty sure everyone here knows exactly how creepy religion can be, why in the world did you think it was worthwhile to reinforce our knowledge of exactly how creepy religion can be with that picture? I am genuinely curious.

I post it because it is so easy to give unwarranted empathy to the positions held by the theists on this board and among our real life contacts.

I do my best to resist such tendencies on a daily basis.

Crazy is as crazy does.

On the other hand, this concept seems to offer up the possibility that some Christian guy will be overheard casually telling another that "[he's] playing with [his] daughter's balls" before catching himself.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
