No, I'm saying that while some degree of dogmatism is a possible component of belief in a truth like intelligent design, it is a necessary component of belief in a lie such as human evolution.

Ask your stereotypical fundy why he thinks homosexuality is wrong, and he'll say, "Because the Bible says so." Ask him why he thinks the Bible is the final authority on moral issues, and he's stuck for an answer.

Ask the stereotypical evolutionist why he believes humans evolved from other primates, and eventually he'll end up citing "scientific consensus". Ask him what makes that authoritative, and he changes the subject.

What it boils down to is that people who believe lies, or who believe the truth for the wrong reason, can't think for themselves.

Child molesters are not allowed to vote in FL and some other states. That applies to all convicted felons. Good idea. That keeps bad people from influencing politics. This makes for good morals and social values in our laws.

And as for work, homosexuals and child predators should not work with impressionable children. Laws against this practice are reasonable. I expect a future congress to remove this from federal court jurisdiction and allow states to better protect our children.
