Okay... so we know I'm not a super fan of religion. Being spiritual and having a personal relationship with some deity you admire is one thing. But it's another when you decide to try and force it down my throat. So, I suppose my major gripe is with big, organized religion.
And "scientific" apologetics.
If you're not familiar, some christian faiths have what's called apologetics. If you're too lazy to click the link, apologetics is a part of christian theology that tries to find rational, logical, and scientific basis to prove the bible. There are many forms of apologetics, and the one that makes any person who loves math or science twinge is scientific apologetics.
Scientific apologetics is the belief that the bible and science do not conflict. It also tends to assert that science supports the bible. However, the more you look at science apologetic sites, like this and this, the less it looks like real science. These groups are not really conducting experiments or simply observing the world. These groups are acting more like a high school English class. They want to make their point so bad that they pull our two or the incidents in the course of human history (and more) to perhaps maybe support their point. There's a difference between conducting research and fitting the data, and I don't think they get it.
Oh, and here's some interesting things up for contention in the christian world.
Old Earth vs. New Earth Creationism
Evolution vs. Just mircoevolution vs. Just macroevolution vs. No evolution
Dinosaurs vs. No dinosaurs vs. Gay Dinosaurs vs. Co-existing Dinosaurs
That's to name a few.
But that doesn't bother me as much as the fact that this kind of information is published in textbooks and shoved down the throats of children. I'll leave you with some examples of that.
