This is probably going to bring out a few trolls but I have to say it.

This goes out to the some of the social conservatives- Stop telling people that the biblical story of creation is literally true! Do you know how stupid this makes you sound? This isn’t a bash against religion (I’m a church-going Catholic), but it’s hard to promote Conservative/Libertarian views when holding a core belief that is about as legitimate as thinking the moon landing was faked.

Actually, using “the Bible says so” is a pretty lousy way to frame any argument, especially since people love to pick and choose from various (especially Old Testament) prohibitions.

Focus on liberty and the rest will follow.
