A college professor whose planned course on creationism and intelligent design was canceled after he derided Christian conservatives said he was beaten by two men along a rural road early Monday.
University of Kansas religious studies professor Paul Mirecki said the men referred to the class when they beat him on the head, shoulders and back with their fists, and possibly a metal object, the Lawrence Journal-World reported.
"I didn't know them," Mirecki said of his assailants, "but I'm sure they knew me."
There is no end to religious intolerance and hypocrisy. For ones who don't know, Paul Mirecki is Th.D. and Professor at UK who dared to challenge the concept of "Intelligent Design", that made Kansas a laughing stock all over the civilized world, organizing an academic course that classified (rightfully so) creationism and intelligent design into the religious mythologies. His academic freedom has been attacked by geniuses from the Kansas legislature and now the guy has been beaten in the name of Jesus and free people of Kansas. Right here in the middle of the most free of all free nations, slowly but inexorably are growing demonic seeds of religious hate and intolerance. George Carlin well said that the fascism will not come in the black uniforms and boots, but rather in sneakers and "what would Jesus do" T-shirts.
