Evolution is quicker than they thought

[Torrere]

I think that Jeb endorses a very lazy sort of tolerance. He fails to distinguish between religious moderates like rkzenrage's parents, and religious extremists like the Creationists. He does not distinguish between evangelicals, who often subscribe to creationism, and the Catholic Church, which says that God used evolution to fashion our bodies. He doesn't want to think about science or faith or the differences between them. He tries to avoid conflict between people who disagree by forcing both to shut up.

He espouses tolerance so that he doesn't have to learn about other people's beliefs -- he already superficially supports them. He writes a blank moral check for creationists and doesn't worry that they're trying to force creationism on school children. He writes a blank moral check for all of Hinduism, says it's all okay, and doesn't see the ugly caste system. He writes a blank moral check for all of Islam, says it's a religion of peace and scientific advancement, and doesn't worry himself about female genital mutilation.

He doesn't have any way to identify what's good and what's bad, nor what's right and what's wrong. So instead he claims that everything is good and anyone who says otherwise is bad.

Finally, he's not an athiest because he doesn't believe in God. He's an athiest because he doesn't want to go to church.
