No, I'm attacking the foundation on which said person is using as some sort of moral authority on Christian fundamentalism.I'm not making any claims about moral authority. Why don't you try engaging with what I actually said? Yeah, we got a LOT of Jesus freaks here, but they have proven fundamentally harmless. It is not harmless to try to get your particular rejection of reality onto school science curricula. But the social harm they do is really beside the point. I was criticizing them merely for the way in which they willfully ignore scholarship. Europe's political and religious extremists have an awful human rights track record over the last century. Oh, so the Trail of Tears didn't happen? And you didn't have slavery, Jim Crow, or lynchings? Yes, you are just as bad as those Ku Klux Klan nutjobs because you live on the same continent as them. </sarcasm> But I sincerely suggest that you have lost all sense of proportion here. I was criticizing a religious movement that has set up bogus colleges and published pseudish articles that fail to engage with Biblical criticism after any sort of constructive fashion. They are not trying to further knowledge of the Bible, but maintain as much ignorance as possible through obfuscation, wishful thinking, and lies. |
