Grimm, I've searched around but couldn't find the last bit, but from what I understand only a tiny part of his speech was cut off. There's more from the Amazing Meeting that I will be sifting, however.

Yep, post more please.

Most curious bit was that his literary agent is "rumoured to carry a gun"

When religion stops butting into science, we will.

The minute that the fundies stop trying to make it a science in our classrooms, stop trying to incorporate it in our government, and stop trying to have it encroach upon the everyday life of all Americans, then I'll leave the fundies alone.

Disproving a faith is as rational and useful an activity as starting a campaign to discredit magicians.

Attacking the validity of religious views has nothing to do with stopping the mad encroachment of religion in science classes, and everything to do with "getting back" at a perceived enemy (hint: it's not religious people).
