The self-revelation of run-on sentences

Sometimes writers had better stop when they're ahead.  The last clause in the sentence below unpeels everything that came before it.
And creationism? Anytime someone tells me they are a creationist, I find a way to get the hell away from them ASAP because they are either incredibly stupid, incredibly ignorant or blind to reality, in any case, they have virtually no "information" I have any interest in hearing.
