Schlafly is not an idiot. He's actually quite clever to spin modern science to fit his fundamentalism. None of us believe it, but to fundies who haven't yet joined his cult, it's very credible and luring. I suppose it depends on whether or not he actually believes the schlock he spews.

As a general rule, an effective cult leader does have to believe his own bullshit. I suspect that Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, and some others don't believe a word that comes out of their own mouths and then they laugh all the way to the bank. Andy? I'm not so sure. Look at who his mother is. He has been brainwashed since day one. He probably believes it. The Youtube pest Shockofgod writes material for Conservapedia. I suspect that Shock probably knew he was lying at one point, but has achieved a state of self-delusion to the extent that he has made a true believer of himself.

^^ Yeah, I'm pretty sure Schlafly resides in the nadir of human enlightenment.

I'm not putting a quote within another quote: It's too small to read as it is. Damn straight. Sorry to add an irrelvent aside, but Schafly is not the only one who does that. Vox Day misquoted an economist in order to make that same "point". He gets caught out here.

And mostly by newbies who don't seem to realize we have this policy.

There's a necro-policy?
Is that anything like a cemetary?
