It's funny because... wait
Haha It's funny because evolution is a religion not a science and atheists worship Darwin.

Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

You cannot leave. You cannot drop the armor now. Why? Because you are needed, more than ever. You are mandatory to keep the energy flowing, the karmic vibrator buzzing, to keep the progressive and lucid half of the nation breathing and healthy and awake and ever reaching out to the half that's wallowing in fear and violence and homophobia and sexual dread, hoping to find harmony instead of cacophony, common ground instead of civil war, some sort of a shared love of a country so messy and internationally disrespected and openly confused its own president can't even speak the language.
After all, you don't hand over all your children the first time the flying monkeys bang on your door...
It's far from over. The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined.

Now, let's over-analyze this for a minute: Why do we "swear" on a book? I guess it's because we associate the book with truth, and by virtue of swearing on the book we assert that what we'll say is as full of truth as the book is. The Christians, therefore, use their Bible, full of cra...er...truth, as they see it. The Muslims should use the Koran, though the Christians, for reasons I can't fathom, get all upset about this and want them to use the Christian Bible, to which, as far as I can tell, the Muslims don't attribute truth, so that doesn't make sense at all. And, so, atheists, of course, should use a book they associate with truth, and the cartoonist (It looks like Jeff MacNelly; is it?) thinks that for atheists, that'd be Darwin's book. I suppose that'd work for some atheists, though others might prefer "The God Delusion", "God Is Not Great", "A Brief History of Time", or even "Atlas Shrugged".
Me, I think I'd use "The Hobbit".
