Perhaps it is a faith that cannot accept questioning? Some are like that.

Exactly, Mike. What gets some folks particularly up-in-arms is when
someone points out the obvious contradictions in their religious
beliefs.

For example, it's interesting to note the reactions of those who insist
that every word of the Bible is literally true when you point out that
the two creation stories in Genesis contradict each other. Or that
Christ's message of nonviolence is largely ignored by modern
'Christians'...

Or what if someone's religion requires that they question and analyze
religious belief systems? And that contradictions be pointed out?

The problem that quite a few of us have with 'intelligent design' (aka
"creationism in a cheap tuxedo") is that it is an attempt by certain
people to have their *religious* beliefs not only taught in public
schools, but taught as *science*, not religion.

I think it's obvious that Jim absolutely despises fundies. But only
Christian fundies. Where never is heard a discouraging word about
fundy Jews or Moslems.
