I've read figures in the Guardian saying how more Americans believe in the Devil than they do in the theory of evolution.  Kinda scary to have such idiots running the world.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>I dont believe in evolution; are you saying I'm an idiot?

I knew that comment would bite me on the ass as soon as I posted. Time to backtrack... My comment was not regarding individuals, I didn't mean to call everyone who fell into the position of believing in the devil and don't believe in evolution an idiot. Rather, that it was worrying that the majority of a society that has the most power at its behest ignores a well qualified theory yet believes that an intangible, invisible and very likely none existant being, actually exists and is corrupting the world to this day. THAT, is what I find idiotic and terrifying.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
