The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. 'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

Not to go through that entire 'article' which has done the rounds and been torn to shreds on many occasions, but even this simple piece it couldn't get right:
"Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?"
"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do."
Whoever wrote the piece needs to look up human evolutionary theory a little more closely. We did not evolve from monkeys. Look it up.
As for the people telling the 'anti-religious morons' to shut up, why should we? Too long we've had to put up with the 'religious morons' banging on our door, trying to 'show us the light', ringing bells at stupid o'clock on a Sunday morning when most sensible people are in bed cramming their head under the pillows.
Can you really blame us for trying to show people a little science? To actually raise their level of intelligence, force them to look at the world differently and constantly challenge their beliefs rather than idle by with simplistic proto-truths?
Seriously. I don't mean to denigrate any religion here, or blow atheism's trumpet, however: Believe it or not, there is a negative correlation between the proportion of a population which defines itself as religious, and that population's average IQ. Or, inversely, the higher the percentage of a population which defines itself as Atheist, the general trend is the higher the IQ. Numerous scientific studies have been carried since the 1920s confirming this.
I know IQ has nothing to do with Faith, and whether God exists or not. I just want to belabour the point to anyone that will listen/read that religion is not the answer, never has been the answer, and never will have the answer.
), and Christians tend not to pick each other up enough on that.
we should have a rally or something
