Today in God

Poneke points out that the editor of the hallucinogenic magazine Investigate, Ian Wishart, has complained to Science Minister Wayne Mapp. Wishart accuses Sciblogs of "the site’s anti-religious propaganda and an article by me critical of Sciblogs being used for a scurrilous attack on ACT MP Rodney Hide by a global warming activist."

Wayne Mapp has leapt into action, writing back to Wishart: “I have asked the SMC to review contributions from their bloggers to ensure the content is consistent with both the terms and conditions [of the blog] and the [blog's] code of ethics.”


In other news, Eric Crampton at Offsetting Behaviour points to an article that reckons that Tolkien couldn't be Jewish AND write LOTR. Jews are totally Sci-Fi. Christians are totally medieval.

Oh, I just love religious arguments. They're existential viewing.
