Journal Of Applied Misanthropology
A well crafted essay on religious belief, which no one will read and have their opinion's changed by.
But I'm sure it was a nice outlet for the author.
One of the primary occupations of those with minority opinions is the endless creation of arguments and speeches which hold no convincing power, except to those who already accept their premises. It's satisfying, but useless, to write smug enraged thesis that anyone would ever dare enter Intelligent Design into school syllabi. Satisfying, because Intelligent Design is nonsensical crap, even to many discerning christians, and useless, because like so many arguments, it does not actually engage proponents of Intelligent Design on the level which inspired their opinions.

Some musings by your outlawpoet guide, with links, txts, and descriptions
"In the mirrors of many judgments my hands are the color of blood. I am a part of the evil that exists in the world and in Shadow. I sometime fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils. I destroy Melkins when I find them, and on that Great Day of which prophets speak but in which they do not truly believe, on that day when the world is completely cleansed of evil, then I, too, will go down into darkness, swallowing curses. Perhaps even sooner than that, I now judge. But whatever... Until that time, I shall not wash my hands nor let them hang useless."
--Corwin "The Guns of Avalon" by Roger Zelazny
