Evangelicals: Maybe Not All 'Tards

This just in from CNN: Study to crack evangelical stereotypes

For decades, Boston University sociologist Peter Berger says, American intellectuals have looked down on evangelicals.

Educated people have the notion that evangelicals are "barefoot people of Tobacco Road who, I don't know, sleep with their sisters or something," Berger says.

It's time that attitude changed, he says.

This is like when some lab coat puts out a press release announcing they've proven that a majority of little girls do not like "icky things."

Anyone walking around with the idea that Evangelicals are uneducated or uniformly stupid has a bad case of the asshats, and I try not to patronize that particular form of haberdashery.

Crackpots -- particularly the self-styled "intellectual" variety -- don't take to correction. The way to deal with them is to deny them attention, and go about your business. Reality will out.
