Found this (with my morning coffee) online. It's a screed against Antonin Scalia (photo), maintaining that his early seventh-century views of religion and distrust of science disqualifies him from sitting on the Supreme Court. It maintains that he suffers from FDS, or, Faith-Derangement Syndrome, defined as follows:

"Sufferers of faith-derangement syndrome (FDS) exhibit the following symptoms: unshakable belief in the veracity of manifest absurdities detailed in ancient texts regarding the origins of the cosmos and life on earth; a determination to disseminate said absurdities in educational institutions and via the media; a propensity to enjoin and even enforce (at times using violence) obedience to regulations stipulated in said ancient texts, regardless of their suitability for contemporary circumstances; the conviction that an invisible, omnipresent, omniscient authority (commonly referred to as God) directs the course of human and natural events, is vulnerable to propitiation and blandishments, and monitors individual human behavior, including thought processes, with an especially prurient interest in sexual activity.Secondary symptoms exhibited by sufferers of FDS comprise feelings of righteousness and sensations of displeasure, even outrage, when people question, reject, or refute the espousal of said absurdities.Tertiary symptoms, often present among individuals self-classifying as "evangelicals": Duggar-esque hairdos and Tammy Bakker-ian makeup, preternaturally sunny dispositions and paedophiliac tendencies, sartorial ineptitude, and obesity."
