Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
I don't. So many times I've said that I think that science and culture are the two strands of human endeavour. There is no way I'd ever conflate them in terms of the way they edify us, or in the way we'd interpret their mysteries. Vive le difference.

Now don't get me wrong here. Being called names is an excellent sign that you're tweaking someone's nose. I really don't give a stuff. Always says a damn sight more about the name-caller than the target. Having said that, calling an atheist "born again" is puerile. We all know perfectly well what the connotations of that are. Saying that, as Joe likes to do, or defending it, like you like to do, ratchets you both right down to Pete's level. You may as well just call us evolutionists or tell us that we have an atheist religion. Do enjoy life in that particular gutter. By your fruits shall we know you!
