Gays, evolution, cloning, rap music, stem cells, Barack Obama, their own shadow... really what isn't the religious right afraid of?

That's why we're not shocked to see ScienceDaily's report that nanotechnology has been added to the list. Why the opposition to a technology that we've been told time and time again will make our lives better and easier? Because it's toying with nature and playing God.

Do you think nanotechnology is morally acceptable?

Of course, all we've gotten out of nanotech so far is stain-resistant khakis and anti-microbial keyboards. [From: VallyWag]
