When I as 9, as well as believing that no Bronze Age god governed my life, I also believed, and many times more strongly, that Jim Crow and state-sanctioned hate in my native Georgia were unspeakably vile. I was only 9 and so I let the fact be known that I was "a traitor to the white race", and overnight I became a pariah dog. By no means is it as serious to me, the sad path which fundies are taking, but, you know, I have the same feeling that history will not be kind to them. American history certainly was on the side of a cotton-mill boy in backward Georgia in 1953, and it is on the side of American atheists in 2007. No matter how much cherry-picking of the Bible that fundies do, no matter their lies and really rather pathetic extortions, in not so many ticks of the clock, in universal terms, Christianity, as fundies define it, will be long-gone, yet another American oddity.
