“Within our culture we have a sub-culture which is literally a fifth column of insanity that is bred from birth through home school and Christian school to evangelical college to reject facts as a matter of faith.”

    And one of them ran for school board locally. Batshit crazy. Homeschooled. Wanted to infect the schools with theological insanity. Voters said…buzz off!

    And Mr Schaeffer has restricted himself to the Christian idiots. There are more out there – it’s scary.

    Spot on! Concise, clear and to the point. I could not have put it better myself.

    Fifth column of insanity, I will have to remember that one, a more fitting description of the religious right I have never heard.

    Bred like worker drones for the pleasure of the patriarchs of the faith. Warren Jeffs took this idea to the ultimate extreme.

    Is belonging to a group so much more important than intellectual honesty and freedom?

    R j,

    When you organize your thoughts, would you mind also organizing your reply format? I find many of your comments interesting but very difficult to read because of the way you split up your lines. I imagine that you proof-type this in an editor that inserts line breaks when you cut-paste into the browser. Most text editors do not do this, however, so maybe you could try a different one? …or just type it straight into the browser?

    Cheers!
