Already the spirit of our schooling is permeated with the feeling that every subject, every topic, every fact, every professed truth must be submitted to a certain publicity and impartiality. All proffered samples of learning must go to the same assay-room and be subjected to common tests. It is the essence of all dogmatic faiths to hold that any such "show-down" is sacrilegious and perverse. The characteristic of religion, from their point of view, is that it is intellectually secret, not public; peculiarly revealed, not generally known; authoritatively declared, not communicated and tested in ordinary ways…It is pertinent to point out that, as long as religion is conceived as it is now by the great majority of professed religionists, there is something self-contradictory in speaking of education in religion in the same sense in which we speak of education in topics where the method of free inquiry has made its way. The "religious" would be the last to be willing that either the history or the content of religion should be taught in this spirit; while those to whom the scientific standpoint is not merely a technical device, but is the embodiment of the integrity of mind, must protest against its being taught in any other spirit.

Gosh, I think I like it. Grrlscientist dug up this automatic Advertising Slogan Generator, and here's what it tells me my new website slogan should be.
Does She or Doesn't She? Only Her Pharyngula Knows for Sure.
Yes, ladies, it's true: I do know. Don't blush; it's OK, it's perfectly natural.

Of course I had to try the obvious...
Cleans Your Floor Without Intelligent Design.
Leave the Intelligent Design to Us.
Schhh... You Know Intelligent Design.
But I'd Rather Have a Bowl of Intelligent Design.
They're Yummy For Your Intelligent Design.
(The Discovery Institute) Does the Hard Intelligent Design, So You Don't Have To.
The Non-Sticky Sticky Intelligent Design.
And my favorite
The Intelligent Design With The Hole.

Maybe you could put rotating slogans under your blog title.
One of my readers once referred to me as "Another retarded f*ing liberal with all the answers". That's definitely going to be one of my slogans. :-)

I tried "atheist" in the generator. Two of my favorites are:
Think once. Think Twice. Think Atheist.
Every Atheist helps.

Age of the Emma? That sounds ... eww :)
Now, "Things Go Better with Philosopher."
That sounds like something from Ren and Stimpy. "All Kids Love Log", after all.

I did "fascism" and this is what I got on the first go:
"Any Time, Any Place, Fascism."
And then, I s- you not, I typed in Jesus Christ and got:
"Washing Machines Live Longer With Jesus Christ."
There you have it.

In relation to a previous subject at this site, I got these on atheism.
It's the Bright One, It's the Right One, That's Atheism.
The Future is Bright, The Future is Atheist.
