So let me get this straight -- believing the world is 10 thousand years old is not stupid, but saying it's stupid is stupid? Interesting.

IMO, it is a catch-22.
From our view, yes that belief is stupid. Certantly, you have your right to mock Day for that, even if he would find you stupid for the same things.
That said, I think diqualifying an entire party for one man's belief - a belief that has absolutely no bearing on his ability to do his job - is also stupid.
So the short answer is, you are both stupid.
Personally, I find it rather comical that people - conservatives only, really - get mocked for having religious beliefs. It is rather bigoted in my view. I dare anyone here to criticize a person for being muslim or Jewish.
Hell, I dare you to criticize anyone for being black or female.
Seems funny to me that this country is rapidly moving towards a society where anyone can be condemned and ostracized because their opinions or beliefs offend someone else.
Well, unless you offend a Christian.
Or a man
Or a caucasian.
Or a heterosexual person.
Or an english speaking person.
Seems to me that a society so determined to eliminate bigotry against minorities is doing so by encouraging bigotry against the majority.
It is a terribly ironic and sad commentary on today's world.
