don´t mind me, just gearing up for the AAS

Religion is bad news in the US. Any condoning of religion is bad. You just have to see the bills that Republicans are putting forward in state legislatures all over the country to see that. Creationism bills, anti birth control bills, anti abortion bills, pro gun bills, pro Christianity bills, anti womens rights bills....
It just goes on and on. Using Christianity to justify all sorts of craziness.
PZ is right. The rest are ignoring the reality that is Republican crazy.
