Chuck Norris: Texas needs untrained Bible teachers 2007-08-21T09:03:41Z

Austin Cline: According to Chuck Norris, then, it's apparently unnecessary that someone teaching about the Bible have "appropriate academic qualifications" or any training on "legal and constitutional issues" related to such classes. It's unnecessary to use texts that are rigorous or scholarly. It's unnecessary to protect the religious freedom of students. It's unnecessary that classes be monitored to ensure that academic and legal standards are being upheld. It's unnecessary for schools to have the choice to offer such classes."

Not only is Chuck Norris a raving idiot, he's a lying propagandist too. Shawn Wilkinson has the juice on why. Who needs God when you've got the Google Cache?

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
