The people pushing them ignore that. They do not now, and have not for quite some time, represented legitimate human inquiry. The concept of pushing narrow religious doctrine with the power of the government doesn't look any better now than when our founding fathers looked to shed that particular source of civil unrest that was rampant in Europe. I don't know why you would think that concept was worth something no matter what propagandist was pushing it. BTW, posting nearly content-free comments with your URL as the primary thing you are pushing makes your stuff look like every spammer around.

It is important to remember that we can intelligently divorce the <i>concept</i> from the propagandist. Someone could be totally dishonest and crazy and ill-intentioned, and yet their idea might be worth legitimate engagement. NS [url redacted] I think this might be a bit unfair.

It almost sounds like, if they were atheists, then it'd be O.K. to harm them. I don't think that's their message, but it does sound something like that.
