Hey, I’m curious. Does anyone know if out-there religious movements like $cientology, Church of Satan, the Raelians, the Unarius Academy, Temple of Set, etc. have applied for their faith-based funding yet? If so, what was the outcome? Is the federal government funding Satanic outreach programs or drug addiction recovery groups that channel the space brothers, or have they been forced to violate the first amendment and pronounce judgement as to what is or is not a religion?
How much federal funding does the DI and similarly-styled BS get, anyway? I’d really like to know, especially since it’s so horribly difficult for real scientists to get federal $$ these days.
Makes sense. I mean, look how much money “faith based biology” outfits like AiG and DI take in.
Hmm…

In a related humor note, today’s Brevity is a squid joke.
Classic. :)

I doubt DI and their ilk get much FEDERAL funding, but being faith-based certainly opens up the private funcding a lot.
(I skipped right over “federal” when I initially glanced at the cartoon.)
