<< I don't get it. Proponents of putting ID into the science class were booted from the board, and God is being dissed? What happened to the argument that ID is not a religious thing? If it's not religious, what's it got to do with the wrath of God? >>
You have to understand the creationist mandate to become a "Liar for the Lord." Back in 1987 the creationists lost in court while swearing on the Bible that "creationism" had nothing to do with God or religion. They were lying.
Now that creationism was shot down, they have switched terms and now push ID, without even noticing that their favorite ID icons are not creationists at all. Some of these icons even accept EVILotion! Horrors!
But what do they say now? ID is NOT about God or religion. At least -- that's what they say in PUBLIC. In private, it's a whole 'nother ballgame. And all the creationists are jumping on the ID bandwagon.
But they continue to bray that ID has nothing to do with religion or God -- and castigate us for pointing out the background connection they are denying. This thread puts the lie to all those pious claims.
Yep -- "Liars for the Lord." I see no difference between this and the "flirty fishing" of the Children of God cult.
Well, it looks like Pat has let God out of the bag.
