I saw a great quote by Isaac Asimov in the comment sections of one of those two posts:
“
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
(I was tempted to post that quote in the "Is Christianity Under Attack" thread.)
edited to add:
BTW, this piece on O'brumhilda is just as wacky as the "not a witch" one, but gets less press:
