Easy. The hardcore religious right operate more out of fear than love. They are afraid of evolution, homosexuality and pretty much anything that does not scream Jesus as is noted by the obsurd D&D strip.

Instead of spending the time teaching the tenants of Christianity such as love, sacrifice and tolerance, they prefer to teach misunderstanding of anything not directly related to their particluar brand of faith in a failed attempt to keep their congregation ignorant. Their literal translation of the Bible has perverted their faith to being more about what NOT to do instead of what TO do.

They teach ignorance and fear, not the spirituality of their own faith.

Ok, and just to let you know this is a good reference point for where my arguement is headed... meaning there is a good chance it could get closed again.

I agree that science can't be proven. A 100 years ago, everbody thought that they had the proof of how things worked. They believed in it without question.
Now we find their science old-fashioned... we have new 'proofs'.

How can humanity say for sure how old the earth is? I'm not saying that the earth is only 6000 years old (the days in Genesis are symbolic days, each one could stand for let's say a billion years), but perhaps mankind doesn't live as long as scientists believe...

Lol, I was looking for a Harry Potter strip but I didn't find one. Lol. DON'T PLAY D&D IT ONLY LEADS TO YOU BEING ABLE TO CAST SPELLS! *Millions go out and buy D&D*

I don't think I would be the only one who would play more D&D if It would let me cast spells.

I adore Harry Potter, I had read the first two books (Philosophers STone and Chamber of Secrets) before either had come out in America

Odd that many Christians dislike them-- I've heard numerous sermons using Harry Potter to convey messeges of loyalty faith and friendship, and was actually introducted to them by a church school teacher.

Anyhow... yeah, those are crazy...
