Irony

[rampantidiocy]

I am new here. I was just reading the hate-mail and it is most excellent. I am amazed that these people actually lack the capacity to comprehend irony. They cry that this must be some perverse joke and how one must be a fool to believe it, yet they are in such fervent denial that they cannot see it is their own belief being mocked.

Welcome!

Actually, it is not people's beliefs that are being mocked, just the idea that a particular religious myth (Intelligent Design) should be given an equal amount of respect and teaching time in science classrooms to evidence-based theories of how we got to exist. That is the true irony; that the people accusing us of all sorts of things haven't even bothered to find out what we are truly about.

There are people here of all faiths and none. We do not, as far as I have been able to see, mock anyone for their beliefs. We do happily mock ideas that aren't backed (or are even contradicted) by evidence as that is good science!

What I mean is that they are mocking their own beliefs in their hate-mail because the structure of the two systems is identical and they refuse to make the connection.
