Are you ready for the next round of onanistic cries of "Christiianity is under attack"?

US district judge John Jones III has ruled that the supernatural explanation of why biology is the way it is does not match the definition of science, the empirical study of how the natural world operates.So apparently there's some judge somewhere, which people will undoubtedly call "activist" (even though nobody can define what in HELL that actually means), who believes it is inappropriate to teach particular flavors of theocracy in public schools under the guise of science, or in this case biology.
I'm anxiously awaiting the same evangelistic, pro-theocracy nutballs to come out of the woodwork yet again to run around in circles like chicken with their heads half cut off, screaming how "secularists" (a nationalism that must surely make Orwell roll over in his grave) have just dealt some kind of lieterally offensive blow to morality and goodness (erad: the Jedeo-Christian and similar organized religion memes).
Sure, it gets tired after the first 50 or 100 repetitions of phrases like "You're probably the type of person who wants to take 'In God We Trust' off the money, aren't you?" being hurled like deadly spears between overhyped pundits. But before it gets tiresome, I think it's hilarious. All these peple playing a giant game of "my god's dick is bigger than your god's dick" makes me laugh.
Unfortunately, the real victims are the chidlren. Their very minds are in the middle of a tug-of-war they should be a part of at all. Consider that these innocent young people are being told by one group that "Morality" means inflicting one particular view point, at all cost, upon as many people as possible, preferably young, defensless people, regardless of law and ethics, while the other camp claims to be in favor of knowledge and truth at the same time they're pulling off a systematic Orwellian attempt to rename physical objects and change the words of songs so as to eradicate theology the same way an ostrich eradicates danger by putting its head under the sand.
Great job, everyone!
