Kelly Wong's appointment is the result of a 2020 voter-approved measure that removed the citizenship requirement to serve on San Francisco boards, commissions and advisory bodies.
First, because a lot of religious conservatives don’t believe in evolution
Which is a pet peeve of mine. Coming from a science background, it annoys me. I grew up with religion but I’m not religious. I’m not anti-religious either.
Some people feel the two collide but I don’t. Evolution still has lots of questions but science is a journey, not a destination. It’s the best theory we have and fairly well documented in the fossil record. It didn’t mean there is or isn’t a good. It just shows how we adapt over time.
Well I don’t know how you figure. Some would say that to accept evolution is to deny the Bible, which amounts to denial of God. It also seems like to be “not religious” is by definition anti-religion, because if you were not against some aspect of traditional American society then you’d be a part of it. If you grew up with it, then at some point there was a rejection.
I never rejected it as I never believed it. I don’t have any semblance of faith. I go to mass on occasion because it’s tradition, not because I believe. I like the pageantry of it all.
As such I let people practive their religion and don’t interfere with it. I am a strong advocate of the 1st amendment.
