Subject: RE: BS: Still no gods 2008 (continued)
See, there's one of the things that causes people like myself to speak up about the hazards of faith. How safe is it to have political leaders in the world's most powerful country who think the earth is 6000 years old and evolution doesn't/didn't happen? I could care less if Joe Cracker from Orlando believes that, but beliefs like that are in direct opposition to reality, no matter how many ways you say 'Goddidit'. How concerned are such believers, in positions of power, likely to be about global climate change, about funding the sciences, about keeping education free of such inhibiting notions? What happens when you elect a president who believes the Rapture is right around the corner, no need to take care of the environment or worry about a deficit?
