Should Evolutionists Be Allowed to Vote?
from the http://www.csama.org/csanews/nws200807.pdf">Creation Science Association for Mid-America:

Should Evolutionists Be Allowed to Vote?

They do not and can not know the purpose for Man. In fact, all of them believe Man has no purpose.

Therefore, they cannot make informed judgments about how men should behave toward each other, or what would be "good" or "bad" for any group of men to do, or not do.

Thus, they have no sane foundation upon which to base “laws” or rational for insisting that other men obey the laws.

Thus, the religion they profess to believe renders them incapable of participating in any decision about what men ought to do. But, that is the purpose of all law.

Therefore, in a sane society, evolutionists should not be allowed to vote, or influence laws or people in any way!


But, don't say they don't believe in "Christian Charity"!

They should, perhaps, make bricks to earn enough to eat.

2. "the religion they profess to believe"
Uh... WTF are they talking about? Evolution is a religion? :wtf: "Evolutionist" is not even a word.

I suppose they think that "Relativists" practice a religion started by Einstein, and "Calculists" worship Newton.

What about people who believe in a number of scientific theories? Are they being dishonest by claiming to follow more than one religion?

Do "Quantists" burn "Relativists" at the stake? But they can't, can they? Only "Thermodynamists" believe in fire.

3. No true Calculist worships Newton.
True Calculists worship His Holy Integrand, Gottfried Leibniz.

11. Yes, everyone should be allowed to vote.
It's a basic civil right.

(However, my original remark was a slight joke.)

12. Let's take this line-by-line.
Capital M "Man"? Strikes me as rather misogynist. I know "humankind" is too much to hope for, but bypassing "mankind" and going straight for "Man"? Someone has issues.

Once again we see a Christian who believes that only he and those who agree with him are moral, knowing "good" from "bad." Arrogance and stupidity in one tidy package.

The word is "rationale", though I suppose homophones can be difficult. Also difficult: getting a homophobe, like the author no doubt is, to understand the difference between a homophobe and a homophone.

Why is everything under the sun a religion with these nuts?

Anyone who professes to know what is best for a "sane society" should undergo a thorough psychological evaluation.

20. OK, I'll admit to using "Man" to mean humankind. Am I a bad person?
