But atheists and scientists are the nutty ones.
I'd like to take the opportunity that this is NOT the first time in human history a messenger was punished for telling the truth. Galileo only got house arrest, Hypatia was murdered for telling the truth.
And even today, when we know what DNA is now, even theists are willing to sit on juries and accept it as evidence in a murder trial, but let their brains fall out and think that Jesus was born without a second set or magic godsperm.
This is what you get when superstition gets mass appeal.
