scooternyc - I agree. And it says something about a movement that it's members can disconnect their passions on one subject (e.g., theism) from their passions on others (e.g., politics). Some of the most reasonable people I've met are those who can pull that off. Alas, as much as this or any crowd of evolved chimps would like to think of itself "the rational ones", we still see a lot of branch shaking, screaching and running about.

True, Prof. Dennett may look like Santa...but he also looks (and sometimes sounds) like an aged Darwin.
