==I don't know about that

What else do you call Christians who ridicule and disavow their fellow Christians in order to ingraciate themselves with Temple of Darwin atheists? From Richard Darwkins:

Although at times Richard Dawkins has applauded, and appealed to, Christian leaders for their opposition to creationist beliefs, elsewhere he has ridiculed them for believing in evolution. For example, he said:

“Oh but of course the story of Adam and Eve was only ever symbolic, wasn’t it? Symbolic?! Jesus had himself tortured and executed for a symbolic sin by a non-existent individual. Nobody not brought up in the faith could reach any verdict other than barking mad!”2

And he went on to say:

“It seems to me an odd proposition that we should adhere to some parts of the Bible story but not to others. After all, when it comes to important moral questions, by what standards do we cherry-pick the Bible? Why bother with the Bible at all if we have the ability to pick and choose from it, what is right and what is wrong?”

That's what T.H. Huxley used to do a hundred years ago. If a Christain agreed with evolution, he would blast them for not believing in Genesis and accuse them of hypocrisy, cherry-picking, etc. If they did not believe in evolution, he would ridicule them for being 6-day creationists. Just like the evolutionists on FR do, by the way.

Huxley's son Leonard Huxley was an officer of Rationalist Press Association, which is dedicated to destroying Christianity. Leonard Huxley's son Julian was a major architect of the modern "Culture of Death". Julian Huxley was a friend of the Dawkins family.
