Left Behind and Intelligent Design
Kevin Drum posts about the Left Behind series and its reflection on the urban/rural divde. I can only relate too well.

Whenever I (a left-coast liberal atheist) vist my minister father, born-again step-mother, and religious school attending half-brother in Indiana, I'm often surprised at the differences.

Not only does my half-brother have a bookshelf devoted to Left Behind and Left Behind Jr books, my step-mother is constantly raving on me about Intelligent Design and how evolution is the work of the devil.

"Why do all you evolutionists want to disprove the existence of God?" she cries.

Where'd she get that crazy notion?
