“A bright American future is not possible with fundamentalist thinkers in charge, with men and women who look for biblical explanations for all worldly phenomena, who feel that all human events are a mere prelude to the Second Coming of Jesus, who don’t just love their country but feel it plays a mysterious role in biblical prophecy, who reject categorically the notion that humans can solve human problems, and who believe with every fiber of their being that men, women, and children are inherently wretched and can be saved only by their omnipotent and omniscient creator.” David Niose
