    yes and no; born-again evangelican christians (also known as religio-loonies) are apt to fervently disagree with something just on the basis that it was said by a "scientist". Eg, Scientist: "global warming could potentially have a negative effect on the world's ecosystem and agribusinesses." Christian nut: "...another liberal lie, god bless Texaco!"

    What bias do you have against Christians? Why do you lump all Christians together as nutty liberal haters that love big oil?

    If you learn one thing in this life, I pray that you actually learn to have an open mind, instead of just professing to have one.

    May god bless you, in Jesus' name. Amen.

    Do you know... now I'm tempted, the next time a Christian wishes me a "God bless you!", to appear to concentrate, half-close my eyes, and in a 'satanic' voice mutter - "And may Satan overpower and guide you. Zorbit!"

    lol!
