What with Michael Behe's much publicized courtroom meltdown and now
the predicament Ben Stein has gotten himself into over his deliberate
misrepresentation of scientists and use of copyrighted material

It seems these people honestly believe they're justified in doing
anything they damn well please because "God is on their side".
