I'm not out to keep bumping this thread, just continue to need to vent, from page 68:
"The Saudis may be teaching that Jews are pigs, but in our country, by means of a one-sided biology curriculum, we teach kids that there's really no difference between any human being and a pig. After all, if we're merely the product of blind naturalistic forces--if no deity created us with special significance--then we are nothing more than pigs with big brains. Does this religious (atheistic) "truth" matter? It does when kids carry out its implications. Instead of good citizens who see people made in the image of God, we are producing criminals who see no meaning or value in human life. Ideas have consequences."
The next 20 pages focus on trying to convince the reader that the Big Bang occurred, apparently under the impression that atheists have a problem accepting this theory. I'm pretty sure my step-mother doesn't believe in the Big Bang, so I probably won't be able to resist pointing out the book she recommended to me rests on accepting that it's true.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
