Back in January of 2008, before he was Mayor, Bill Foster wrote a letter to the Pinellas school board about how Charles Darwin's theory of evolution lead to the rise of Nazi Germany and the Columbine Massacre. It seems that what he was trying to accomplish was to get the school board to include Creationism or Intelligent Design in their science curriculum because the Theory of Evolution is so bad it can lead to mass murder. I guess we should just ignore all religious massacres, like the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials, the Crusades or the many other cases in history of religion being used as a justification for killing people. Of course, there are even passages in Bill Foster's own bible that seem to condone genocide. It is a very interesting window into what our Mayor believes, and luckily for us, he is not in a position to force his beliefs on our children.
