Do you accept Evolution? Why or Why not

Religious people shouldn't be given a 'get out of stupidity' free card because they believe in a deity.

If I do something stupid, say design a bridge with weak supports that cost less, should I get a 'get out of stupidity' free card when the bridge collapses because I believe in making money.

Maybe if you were more condescending and pompous, those stupid religious idiots might respect you and start caring about your opinion.

Why should I have to be 'nice' to the most intolerant and ignorant people in the world?  I grew up in the rural Bible Belt and no one hesitated to tell me I was going to hell for accepting mountains of evidence for science.  I didn't even know that a perosn could go to hell for believing in black holes (different people actually told me that).  I'm tired of Christians and Muslims alike preaching to me about how I am incorrect in my thinking and this will somehow lead to some fantastical punishment.

I'm also not naive enough to believe that anything I say on an internet forum will change anyone's mind.  So I'll continue to consider stupid people as being stupid until they earn mine and other people's respect.  When I do stupid things, I expect the same treatment in return.
