ID's War on Christians
We often hear creationist and intelligent design spin doctors bemoan what they describe as a war against Christians waged by sinister secular forces.
But what about this unprovoked attack on Unitarians from intelligent design blogger DaveScot, who writes on William Dembski's Uncommon Descent blog:
DaveScot's disdain for members of the Unitarian Church reveals the dark underbelly of the radical religious right and its creationist and intelligent design projects.
They'll let you know who the real Christians are.
They're so sensitive to slights against their own beliefs, but when it comes to others, anything goes.
It gets better in the comments:

Jack Krebs is crowing about a class on Darwinian dogma put on in conjunction with the Unitarian Universalist “Church”. He plans on preaching to the choir...
You can believe anything or nothing in this so-called “church”. What a coup for Jack Krebs and Kansas Citizens for Science to have the backing of a local UUC congregation. We should start worrying now I guess...

It gets better in the comments:
- "Maybe they can have joint services with the 'Presly-tarians.'”
- "A church that has more Buddhists than Christians? They might as well call it the Non-Religious Meeting Building."
- "Always did wonder (sort of) what Universal Unitarians were…now I know, now I wonder how this can be accorded the status of religion... "
If people like DaveScot were in charge, do you imagine they would grant the respect they demand for themselves to other "so-called Churches?" Forget about respect, how about the freedom to practice their beliefs?
