Re: "They've made us the laughingstock of the world".

Lofton stated that she had no interest in engaging with the Pastafarians or anyone else seeking to discredit intelligent design and, while reaffirming her belief that the Bible is inerrant truth and the word of God, stated that she would not resign over the issue.
See, even IDists see no difference between ID and religion. They don't realize that making a statement like this hurts their cause.

It more than just hurts their cause, it's fatal. The Discovery Institute must cringe in horror as their efforts to portray ID as legitimate science are translated at the grass roots level into claims about God and Bible.
This makes me wonder. How come the DI doesn't try harder to tell their followers to stop referring to ID as religion? They've been trying very hard to convince the rest of the country that ID is not religion. Why aren't they asserting the same kind of effort on their supporters?
They don't have to convince their supporters that ID is not religion. All they have to do is quietly pass a note around saying "shhhh... don't let the evil atheists know ID is religion."
