I would love to see more people write this way. Start the backlash against the secular onslaught.

There is no argument for creationism (excluding theistic evolution) which does not reflect badly upon the person making it by implying ignorance, stupidity, dishonesty, insanity, or some combination of the preceding.[snip]...
Within the delusional system of the creationist...Out here in knuckle-draggin' gap-toothed slope-browed mean and dumb Jesusland, I heard Dawkins say pretty much the same thing about two weeks ago on National Proletariat Radio. He said, and I quote; "All Creationists are ignoramuses."
The problem is that it is self-refuting for a materialist like Dawkins to imply that there is something 'wrong' with purely material processes such as the neurons firing in certain human brains that are the sole cause of certain noetic effects with which he disagrees. The neurons in my brain tell me that it is only the ignorant who would try to insult a physical process.
Cordially,

But if eternal salvation remains unproved, the suspension of disbelief required of Eutopian secularists grows daily.Definitely a parallel there.

I wonder how long Steyn pours over his word's? Jesus had a way of twisting a phrase for maximum impact. This guy must hang out with Christ on occasion!

Thank you, Pokey. I was starting to shrivel-up and take on a grinch appearance without a Steyn refresher; I hope he's back for good!

Of "If partial-birth abortions should be legal, then why should the right to abortion stop when the fetus actually leaves the womb? I have the right to sell my own hair, keep my kids' baby teeth, or keep my appendix if it's taken out. If I get control over my own body at all times, what difference does it make if a baby is born? It was part of my body then--why does birth suddenly change that, if it's still attached by an umbilical cord?"
