This is getting a bit off-topic.  But are you saying that "liberal 
political views" are out, but ones based on superstition, repression, and 
misrepresentation (that is, what is passing these days for "conservative") 
are OK?  If so, I beg to differ.

On the face of things, who cares how people view the origin of the Grand 
Canyon.  But are we next going to hear that garbage is a gift from God and 
therefore we should maximize it....?

When religious belief is set against reason, both suffer greatly.  In this 
country we are going through a great spasm of irrationality and I think 
there is a need to take a stand against it.

Just my personal opinions.
