You can't expect much from people who believe in religious crap! They are already intellectually compromised.

You might also note that the highlighted part does not refer specifically to DU members, but to people with religious beliefs. If you don't like it, take it up with the host who posted it.

In this forum it is inappropriate to belittle those with religious beliefs or to engage in demeaning or hateful speech toward members of DU who may hold such beliefs.
