Delicious Human Filth

And then through the adequately lit concourse came a happy little man, beaming proudly and assertively. Emblazened on his scrawny chest was the subtle message, "Question Evolution". Upon approaching and asking him about his shirt, this man explained that he was expressing his Christian beliefs. What an unfortunate goof of unbridled incompetence.

From time to time, particular types of Christians, that is, many modern Christians (who love to believe and refuse to think) pretend to express themselves through archaic ignorance which constructs opinion based on subjective and slanted interpretations. These intepretations spring substantially from cognitive failure.

Evolution has absolutely nothing to do with religious belief unless one makes the mistake of accepting dogmatic fundamentalist reasoning which decided to fight evolution because, in accordance with fundamentalism, it contradicts the Biblical creation myth, which in actual fact it does not considering that the Bible is parable. Fundamentalist thinking obscures reason and destroys truth, as beliefs rooted in error forsake the dogmatic principles science has for too long subscribed to, such as 'evidence' and 'reason' .

It would be interesting to meet Jesus, and explain to him how pacticular people have transformed his prophetic and Socratic legacy into a figurehead for blind, militant devotion and hypocritical fanaticism that is devoid of logic, reason, and basic intellectual properties: Jesus was not the son of God, nor did his disciples believe such. He was in fact, a philosopher. Those who desperately need to cling to the safety of ambiguity provided through appropriated segments of Christianity without any sort of intellectual, historical, or theological investigation remove themselves from the sphere of knowledge by electing to overlook it in exchange for something easier.
