Has the bias made this forum essentially irrelevant?

Idiocracy need not be coddled. If someone says stupid shit, they very well should be told as such.

Jar's comment was not about the idiotic position of creationism in and of itself, but about Dawn's post being dumb, which is usual Bertot fashion.

Why should religion get a free pass for stupidity? How would you respond to someone who spouted nonsensical statements about everything and they were a Neo-Nazi or truly believed in Zeus? Why should xtianity or islam or any major religion of today get a free pass? You lot have convinced YOURSELVES of it's legitimacy, not us.The fact that they happen to be a creationist does not, and should not, give them a free pass to be a complete moron and say stupid things about everything.

And I am saying that people who say dumb shit should be told as such, regardless of their theological position. Just because they are religious doesn't mean they "deserve respect".I am not saying that sarcasm and ridicule should be the first tactic, but when said individual insists their dumbassery is correct even after being shown the error of their thought process, then yes, ridicule them. You act as though there haven't been countless posts where members have tried to remain calm with the posters in question.I must repeat: I am not inferencing the theological position that should warrant the ridicule. We all know how idiotic creationism is. COming to this site, we accept that people will believe that crap. What I AM saying is that, regardless of belief, you should be chastized and mocked for saying asinine shit.

It is not the individual I hold in disdain; it is their abhorrent lack of want to garner knowledge and their despicable arrogance about their stupidity. Because that is not what this website is here for..... I see it as being here to engage in discussion, be it positive, negative or otherwise.
