What insecurity? You mean the one you just made up in your mind?

Fundamentalist religious indoctrination, with good reason.

Made up.

I'd like to think that "virtually everyone" actually agreed with that but they don't. There's still plenty of ignorant people around with political power all too ready to lie to and leech on the uneducated and the credulous.

First of all, this isn't being "more and more questioned". The level of questioning has remained the same, by the same people. The only change taking place is the label these people now use to describe themselves. They used to just call themselves creationists, now they call themselves ID proponents. It's still the same people though. And essentially the arguments have remained the same.

Yeah we better give them the geocentrist "theory", along with the "theory" on white supremacy, in addition to the "controversy on the holocaust" and the potential powers of "healing crystals" etc. etc.
