Bill Dembski brags
about having been “in constant correspondence” with Ann Coulter, helping her with her latest stack of soiled paper, Godless: the Church of Liberalism. He even quotes a bit of what it’s all about:
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion itself. [...]

It’s All So Clear to Me Now

lying to kids:

Q. Hi, Average Boy!
I need some advice on evolution. Everyone is talking about it, and I just don’t understand why people think we came from monkey people. I hope you can answer my wonders.
