They'd ignore it if...
(1) the fundamentalists didn't use the bible everytime they wanted to exclude certain rights to certain groups via the legal system
------(A) slaves loyal to their masters because jebus says so
------(B) ban interracial marriage because god never intended different races to mix... IT put them in different places after all
------(C) subjugating women 'cuz jebus says so
------(D) gay rights issues

(2) the fundamentalists didn't try to impose christian so-called values and beliefs on everyone else
(3) creationists didn't try to teach their goddunit doctrine in our schools
(4) fundamentalists didn't bomb abortion clinics in the name of god
(5) a myriad other things
Everytime the fundies want us to go back to the dark ages, they always seem to be able to quote verses from the bible that support their views. Personally, since I'm an atheist I would just tell them to go to hell. But I'd have to be more politically correct I guess.
Like I said before. To believe in the 6 day creation and the earth is only 6000 years old isn't about morals or value. It's just stupid, just like the idea that god created all the wonders in the universe and then would damn the curious ones down to hell. Just stupid... not to mention the obvious impossibility of all the marsupials somehow swam to australia from the middle east after gotten off noah's mathematically impossible boat.
