Equality is aspirational. A bit like intelligence and empathy are for semi evolved morons.

pete. I can't express my disdain on an intellectual level for creationism any better than the pointing and laughing phrase.   In short, it fails at every level. But and this is a big but. Many of our sanctimonious fashion Christians who feel embarrassed by the metaphysical aspects of the Bible still have no issue whatsoever using the content as a tool to sneer at others.

That galls me. Either the established church leaders sit with the armchair Christians and talk of stories to aid moral compass or they state, as they do, that their members are believers.

The word believer isn't, to my knowledge, a word in the Lewis Carroll sense.
