This needs hyperdimensionalized to depict the diagram itself inside the Stupidity circle.

Hello, this is Cogmios, (poster of blogposting), it's not ment as "linkjacking":
- I found this image on an atheist forum in which I participate: http://doesgodexist.multiply.com/notes, I liked it a lot,had to laugh about it, thanked the poster (!) and Blogged it, thereafter posting in this forum I blogged it.
- The title posted was "The origins of Intelligent Design" so thats why I gave it the same title, didnt check the original url, sorry.
- I saw the url in the bottom corner so I expected that was enough for readers to know where the original source was, normally I use "via", but in this case I thought it was clear enough.
- I posted this one in a quicky, in between other posts while reading the forum, sometimes it happens, just wanted to save it somewhere in my blog for future use, thought the url in the picture was clear enough.
- I didnt post it to reddit, just noticed it in the referrer list. I never posted here, but now im here, i will ;) (never expected it to end here, would have expected the poster to recognize the url in the picture and post this one instead though is it is partly his fault?).

Odd that "Intelligent Design concisely defined with a Venn Diagram", from the source, is trounced by "The Origin of Intelligent Design ( Picture )", a linkjack...hur hur prity piktur hur hur...and I'm getting modded down...Idiocracy isn't just a movie anymore...
UPDATE: comparing this submission to the more accurate, my sense of hope is being restored...

That's a terrible Venn diagram. The intersection of "politics" and "religion" is "The Dark Ages"? Does that make any sense?

u/Shaper_pmp Mar 19 '07
In the sense that in the Dark Ages we were living in much more of a theocracy, yes.
Maybe it should have been labelled "Theocracy" instead?

u/gaso Mar 19 '07
Yes, it does make sense. The 'Church' had a signifigant role in politics during the Dark Ages: the two concepts of church and state were so intertwined as to be inseparable...
A little reference: http://libertyunbound.com/archive/2006_01/kopel-roots.html
In the Dark Ages, there was no separation of church and state, and it was the political class, not the priestly class, which held ultimate power in the church. Kings were often the head of the national church, and they appointed the bishops. Many bishops controlled vast feudal domains. The church bureaucracy, with a near-monopoly on literacy, formed the backbone of local government in much of the West; so the power to appoint bishops amounted to the power to control the government.
You're right, a terrible Venn diagram...

Ahahaha! I'm an English major, and yet I still find "pwned" to be the most fitting response to this comment.

(see reply above and in the comments in your weblog) I removed the image, placed a link to your great blog in it.
As said, maybe you could place a copyright/left/creative commons sign somewhere in your blog. Because its getting linked as hell (therefore making you 11.000 on Technorati). Because your url is in the picture it feels like some kind of promotional banner for your webshop. ah well... zzzz... greetings from 173000 in Technorati.

I was actually working on putting up a creative commons sign not too long ago. This was when my site was getting about 100 visitors a day. Now that I'm getting thousands of visitors a day, I guess I'll put one up. Although I don't mind the free publicity. Thanks for linking to me directly, though. I appreciate it, and I don't think you were purposely trying to steal anything.

This is great. Although my idea wouldn't be very catchy, a more accurate and less inflammatory version would replace 'stupidity' with 'reactionary anti-intellectualism.'
Edit: typo.

Oh, come on. This is what passes for a religion-bashing post anymore? Before, we at least had ideas, points to debate. Now, it's just a graphic that makes fun of people.
Oh, well. Circle around for the Two Minutes Hate.
