*sigh* Is it even possible to have a discussion of evolution and the relevant aspects of religion without it drifting into a general condemnation of religion?

I KNOW that there are religious extremists in various countries who tax the soul patience and cause thinking people to worry about their influence. I have met some of them.... several have knocked at my door. They send me mailings. They are tedious.

YOU can start a thread about it.   That is not what I want to do here....

I thing we need a thread about people who have knee-jerk responses to anything resembling their favorite pet peeve, whether it was specified or not.
