I feel it is safe to say that there are quite a few posters on this board who demonstrate excellent critical thinking skills and they are also quite religious.

> Reminds me of the time some people got upset over a local Christmas display put up by town employees a couple years back. The town removed it. (Although some municipal holiday displays are allowed under the Constitution under narrow circumstances, this one had problems.) Immediate shitstorm followed - letters poured in from all over the country. My favorite one came from an ethnic/religious fraternal organization. The first paragraph argued that the display was completely secular - not religious at all. The second paragraph contended that the town’s removal of the display constituted religious discrimination.

Like the old joke about a guy who is facing a lawsuit for damaging a rental car. His lawyer offers to prove 1)that his client never touched the car in question, 2)that the car was already damaged when his client took possession, and 3)that the car was in perfect condition when his client returned it.

Og smashes in mysterious ways?  
😃  
I hope these dunderheads keep pushing the issue like this. It can only backfire. Intelligent Design: Religion or Science. Well, it is fairly apparent at this point that ID is Religion.
