An atheist can be biased in favor of Christianity, and a Christian can be biased in favor of atheism. Happens all the time. I don't know if you are biased, but it is rather striking that you feel you need to point out your religious views to preempt accusations of bias - why do you think we would accuse you of bias?<br /><br />In any case, the site here is not devoted to lampooning Christians. It is devoted to lampooning denialists and conspiracy theorists across the board. Being a creationist is a typical form of denialism that happens to be overrepresented among religious fundamentalists, and we are, indeed, lampooning creationists. It is, however, eminently possible to be a Christian and not be a denialist or creationist. Since you equate our criticism of creationists and crazy wingnuts with criticism of Christians <i>as Christians</i>, do you not think it is possible to be a Christian without being a creationist or crazy wingnut? In that case I suggest that it is <i>you</i> who have unhealthy and biased conceptions about what being a Christian involves.G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-49557381210332697942017-01-09T03:35:38.551-05:002017-01-09T03:35:38.551-05:00Good grief.

Union University is not a place to get an education not because it is a religious college, but <i>because it employs James Huggins as a professor and chair in their biology department</i>. Huggins is demonstrably a pseudoscientist who subscribes to delusional nonsense about biology; that he is nevertheless a professor and chair in the biology department at Union, means that Union is a place to avoid for an education in science, and evidence that their standards are not very high in general.
