The Daily Profaner: Putting Snark First, Myths Last!

The Pacific Justice Institute, a conservative Christian activist group, is attacking UC Berkley (with a lawsuit!) over a website the University put up to promote the teaching of evolution. They allege that the website violates Separation of Church and State because it endorses religions by promoting evolution and teaching all that science/evidence/reality stuff. Institute President Brad Dacus says:

“This [website] injures religious freedom in this country… The government is playing a role that is overtly hostile to some religious groups and denominations while favoring and giving greater recognition towards others.”

His argument goes something like this:

• Religions hold different positions on evolution therefore any position on evolution is a religious position - even if it has fuckall to do with religion. If some nut has a religious position on something then EVERY opinion on it is religious.
• UC Berkley’s website is all about promoting the teaching of evolution and science due to being the godless liberal heathens they are.
• Therefore UC Berkley’s website is endorsing a religious position because some crazy fuckers don’t believe that science is real.
• Since C Berkley’s website is taxpayer-funded (because we promote science education in this country) it is state sponsorship of religion.

You know, some religions (Scientology, Christian Science, the Amish) have a religious problem with pharmaceuticals and modern medicine. Since hospitals are taking government money to give out drugs they are taking a government sponsored stance that “is overtly hostile to some religious groups and denominations while favoring and giving greater recognition towards others” every time they write a prescription. We need to stop it! Someone, quick, call Brad Dacus!

Dacus is also a bit pissed that the website addressed the role of religion and evolution in an effort to help teachers address it in their classroom. The website straight up admits:

“Some religious beliefs explicitly contradict science (e.g., the belief that the world and all life on it was created in six literal days); however, most religious groups have no conflict with the theory of evolution or other scientific findings”

Those bastards! This is part of Dacus’ smoking gun that the website is preferential to evolution - the recognition that not all religious people hold a fucknutty view of evolution. If word got out that evolutionists aren’t baby eating sodomites who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Antichrist then people might start learning some science, and we sure as fuck can’t have that.
