After you read it and stop laughing, think for a second. What tactic has not been tried by folks like kennie ham, the Institute for Creation Research, or those less-than-reputable folks at the Discovery Institute? How crazy have some of those tactics been? Is there anything they won’t do in the cause of their religious beliefs? Lying for Jesus, misrepresenting real science and science methodology, Quote-mining, and re-baptising historical figures as Creationists are just a few examples. While I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried what Jesus and Mo are suggesting, I think their next crazy tactic is to try and limit free speech by outlawing any criticism of a religious belief, sort of like the old-style blasphemy laws. Of course, as usual, any law would only apply to Christianity, since Evangelicals tend to not accept any religion is a real religion except for theirs. Burning Bibles is bad, but burning Korans is a perfectly acceptable hobby.
