If we keep taking sides against sides, then we’ll totally miss the big issues.  While Theists and Atheists are squawking about, “Where does morality come from and can you prove it?” - The industrial world keeps burning, the military keeps learning how to “deal with” any form of resistance, and the rest of our brilliant little ideas like “evolution” and “creationism” keep getting more confused and swept away by the tides of the fight.

It’s… not a pretty picture for either side.  Unless one side or the other learns how to make it a pretty picture, even if they have to say, “Fine, we’ll stop talking about morality - but just long enough so that we can clean up the planet.”

I think morality is trash unless you can prove it, simply by doing it, acting it, and then you can say - “Hey!  Look over here, look what I’ve got!”

I don’t get it. If it had been just the little Christian fishies in the soup, I could have seen something of interest in the cartoon. The but mixture of little Darwin and Christian fish… I guess that I’m dense.
