I guess I don't see what the hot button on this was... I just found it to be ignorant and just a little dumb. It wasn't your typical Conservative Tirade, wherein someone jumps up and down about everything being against God. I just read it as terribly uninformed and trying to spin a political issue using religious grounds and failing miserably. You simply can't apply God to everything.

It's like my (Irish Catholic) bio prof said: "Science and faith are not mutually exclusive. It's possible to have both, but trying to use one as an argument against the other is pointless, because they exist on totally different realms. It's possible to be religious and still be a scientist, and vice versa." He's a pretty cool guy.

Me, though... I'm all for the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
