Catholics vs Robertson (alt text- how many angels can dance on Robertson's pinhead?) I like to hit the high (low) points of the religious right but was gonna leave this one alone, well, because everyone would just get sick of having so much Robertson supplied material. But then it struck me that this was another indicator of the coming religious war between the Catholics and the evangelicals.

The Dover school board was voted out. They are the idiots that wanted to teach Intelligent Design in the schools, thus once again reaffirming my faith in the American voter. They may not get it right every time, but eventually they seem to meander over to the right side of things. This decision is completely in keeping with Catholic thinking on this matter, as recently emphasized by the Pope.

But to Robertson it was the same as the abandonment of god and god should treat the good citizens of Dover similarly. He didn't say that god could stay for the Catholics, no, just get out of town for everyone. This high profile instance was not the kind of defeat god wants the religious right to endure.

And if you think my prediction of a religious war between the Catholics and the evangelicals is off, well, keep in mind that this is just one of many differences between them. And that the fastest growing segment of our population, Hispanic, is predominantly Catholic.  ¶ 11/12/2005 08:16:00 PM
