A while back, I floated the idea of a logo for the godless. There was a lot of enthusiasm for the idea, and a lot of good design ideas came out of it … maybe too many good ideas. And being a mob of atheists, there was absolutely no consensus on what was the best symbol to use. Finally, I didn't…
Yesssss!!!!! .... This is what you have been preparing for all this time.
You know the classics ...
"Evolutionists do it with increasing complexity"
and
"Honk! If you understand punctuated equilibria"
These are the National Center for Science Education Bumper Stickers so far. The NCSE is not…
This one is on CNN: Is it OK for states to issue car license plates with religious messages?
Boy, when you put it that simply, isn't it obvious? Since when should a state government be in the business of promoting religious slogans? Let people buy a nice religious license plate frame from a…
Ashley Holm, an intern at the Statehouse's Legislative Research Department, still has her job. This is something of a testament to cool heads in the capitol, who resisted criticism of Holm for a bumper sticker on her car. In the AP's kind phrasing, "The red bumper sticker contains only two words…
Well it's in black & white, so that may help them to understand it. But it really needs the Comic Sans font to drive the message home.
Given their ability to quote mine, I expect this bumpersticker to be reported on UD and other sites as:
"ID ... ... YES!"
Controversy is not all bad, however, for it gives teachers the opportunity to engage their students at a deeper level. Instead of filling young minds with facts, teachers can show their students supernatural stuff. In this way, students begin to understand how science really works. When they see scientists and scienticians disagreeing over intelligent designr, students learn something about how scienticians are all dogmatically and catmatically lead to follow certain scripts on what to say. They also learn about the distinction between fact and fiction - and how intelligent designr is neither of these .

Controversy isn't bad, presenting mythology as science, is. I don't have a holocaust denier in my classroom as a guest speaker during WWII, I don't have Klan members come in to explain their point of view during classes on the Civil Rights movement, they would each claim that their views on those topics are just as valid as historians.
We don't have astrologers come in for astronomy classes, and we don't have Flat Earth'ers and Heliocentrists come in either. Why? Because their views are invalid as well, they aren't appropriate, they aren't scientifically valid.
ID isn't science, it has no place in a science classroom.
WTF is a "scientician"?
...or for that matter, an "intelligent designr"?
Religion 'endumbens' the brain.
That one's okay, but I much prefer this ID bumper sticker.
before you all get your panties in a twist, do click on the link provided in the "intelligent designr" sig.
hint:
look at the highlighted letters starting each paragraph.
need another hint?
think of the title of the debut Sex Pistols album.
From that site's whois info:

Surely proof of the truth of the hymn _Jerusalem_. God exists and is living in Great Britain! (Or at least a third of him is. The other two-thirds are up in Glasgow getting well and truly ratted.)
Quoth the integlientdesignr:
Oh, indeed!
Why won't anyone think of the poor hyper-bunnies from a higher dimension?!??!!!
intelligent designr r intelligent.
Intelligent designr. You guys are Ok but you must learn how to use caps and comic sans.

I am repeatedly surprised by the utter failure of seemingly intelligent people to detect obvious parody and satire. Perhaps "scienticians" need to take more literature courses, or sumpin'.
Oh, so calling me a moronic lying jackass was satire.
"I am repeatedly surprised by the utter failure of seemingly intelligent people to detect obvious parody and satire."
I guess my eyes just glazed over after the first sentence or so. "Catmatically" shoulda been a dead giveaway.
The problem is that no matter how clever the satire there are actually people out there who believe it is true...
