The American Taliban

With the world controlled by George Bush and cohorts, it seems that religious extremism is no longer limited to the rocky mountains of sunny Afghanistan. Equally ignorant and uninformed, the American bible belt is wielding the axe of irrational, unscientific thinking in every aspect of our lives.

Thankfully, the real brains are on our side. Richard Dawkins is one scientist who aims to set the record straight in a hurry.

This is a wake-up call to all who cherish free speech and the modern principle of church separated from state. Quite frankly, religious zealots who are prepared to ignore scientific facts in preference to untethered religious constructs scare the fucking daylights out of me. If these bible bashers get any more power, we'll be back to burning books and witch hunts in no time.

Amen.
