Atheists Outline Their Global Religious Agenda

Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis, upon a view of the secularist manifesto, the Copenhagen Declaration on Religion in Public Life, mouthed off on his blog upon the subject, offering a "translation" of the manifesto into creationist-speak, which he entitled "Atheists Outline Their Global Religious Agenda."

In such matters Mr. Ham may be likened unto an automatic text generator, or spambot, programmed to give canned responses to certain words; for example, the word "morality" triggers the generation of the phrase "no objective basis."

This method has been used to great success in generating soundbites, but in longer monologues like this, the repetition begins to show. Furthermore, the products of Mr. Ham's programming lack some rather useful features, like coherence, expected in human-to-human communications.

In this article, we comment on his entire blog post side-by-side as a textbook example of the Ham Hightail and of the general inanity of creationist duckspeak. We found it impossible to retain the original scheme of paragraphs, as Mr. Ham has tied his prose in such knots as to require very fine dissection.

Laconic: "Atheists have no logical reason to believe in anything, and they want rights for everyone except Christians, whom they utterly despise."
