Re: We need to pity them.
Another example of the CCoI. They deserve our pity.
How much pity can we afford to give to the dangerously insane?

Love your enemies!

Re: We need to pity them.
Pitying them does not mean we have to adopt their delusions or nonsense. We should give them an Inclusion Award that says something like "You tried really hard this time."
I don't pity people who murder doctors in the name of their religion.
I don't pity people who deny basic human rights to others in the name of their religion.
Some people deserve pity. Some people deserve shame, scorn, and shackles.
Which group these particular religious fundamentalists happen to belong to remains unclear to me. Though I'd probably think at least a little of both.

Re: Weird beliefs
But the minute they try to force those weird beliefs on others, that's a different situation.
Like condemning the masses to perpetual poverty and wage-slavery to profit a minute class of uber-rich leaches?
Or do 'weird beliefs' get a pass when they fall under your politics?
And that includes children.
How about the homeless, underemployed, elderly, single parents, disabled, vulnerable, disadvantaged, and generally poor-to-do?
Should they also be protected from other people's 'weird beliefs'?
"Religion is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards."
Let's add 'bad politics' to the list of things folk should do in private.
Is that okayeven if it makes you a hypocrite?
Edited by Jon, : No reason given.

Re: Don't laugh at them
Rule 11 (b)(2)
....an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances:
(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;
They could always say that they're stupid.
That should clear 'em.

What happens when it's time to get into university or compete for jobs?
They have their own universities.
They have their own jobs.
No need to compete. Just hide. Deny. And repeat.

That many? Universities where they don't teach evolution or proper biology? Or proper geology?
Yes. They have their own Universities.
What jobs?
Ever heard of the Government?

Sure, I just meant how would they compete in jobs where those fields were a prerequisite.
How many such jobs are there? Aren't they far out-numbered by the jobs for which such educational background (let alone having taken just a class or two) is completely irrelevant?

Love your enemies!
