Don’t some 40 % of Americans claim they reject evolution and
accept Biblical, Young Earth Creationism?
So why the shock at the notion that American Catholics
generally, and the orthodox certainly, believe in a personal devil?
Or is it shock that Scalia believes Catholics believe that?
Or is it shock that Scalia believes that?
Or is it shock that Scalia says he believes that?
Or is it shock that Scalia believes that?
Or is it shock that Scalia says he believes that?
I’m just not sure.
Anyway, Boo is far from alone on the left in making a public show of reacting adversely.
Scalia himself boldly and even effortlessly squashed Jennifer Senior, promptly asserting a Gingrich and Santorum propaganda point,
insisting with specious anger and authority that belief in Satan is a condition
of belonging to that cozy, warm, and righteous people who democratically
deserve to dominate everything here at home and even around the world, main
stream America.
And that anyone not comfortable with that fact or respectful
of that belief clearly lives “in circles far from” that blessed and godly main stream.
Neither does he miss the chance to make the altogether fatuous defenses, always satisfying to the stupid, "Most of mankind has believed in the Devil, for all of history. Many more intelligent people than you or me [sic] have believed in the Devil."
All which raises the question whether Scalia is just another lying politician for whom protestations of religious faith are a political tool.
By the way, if you look at the positions he takes in the
interview with JS, his careless inconsistency and personal faithlessness to his
own professed rule of interpretation is egregious.
Whatever may be true of his religion, in jurisprudence the
man is as much a faker as the most bare-faced liberal liar in the history of
the Supremes, the inventor and first interpreter of the constitutional right to
privacy, William O. Douglas.
And, after all, the man is an arrogant bully.
