They have every opportunity to teach their children at home, in Sunday School, or anywhere. Why do the feel they must teach Religous dogma in public schools?
The reason is, that their religous (Evangelicals) have a belief of missionarial duty. They want to save peoples souls. So the religous people on the BOE is not worried about their own kids knowing ID, they are worried about other kids beliefs.
They will use government to further their agenda. They are encouraged to do it. They are told it is their duty.
Thomas Jefferson if rolling in his grave now.
Yes he is!
Evangelical Christianity is nothing more than a cult culture. No one is allowed to think for themselves. Mr. Preacherman must make all of their decisions for them. When they are told to pull away from their family members because they “won’t be going to heaven”, it has crossed the line into a true mind control and life control situation.
They simply want control over all of us. The first step is to control what children learn and how they think about the world. The ID situation should scare anyone (Christian or not) who believes we should still maintain Free Will.
Janabanana! All you have to do is read what Pat Robertson is saying.

And people will believe him. These are the very same people on the BOE. They really feel that God is smiling down on them, because of what they did.
Saving everyone’s souls!?! Are they nuts?!? (Don’t answer, please.) Don’t they know that there are only limited number of tickets to Paradise, 144,000 if I’m not mistaken? I’d get better chance of scoring one of them if I don’t go around proselytising un-Godly non-believers. I’d say that it’s just a scam to make a few bucks from new converts, which brings me to the question whether they realize that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich person to enter the Kindom of the Lord.
Good point, Roo! Mother Theresa said “If you think you’re going to heaven, then you’re not humble enough to go”. Maybe the Pat Robertsons of the world should pay heed to the words of a TRUE spiritual leader for a change.
Damoon I usually have a nod of agreement when I read you posts.I love the Mother Teresa quote, man how many times have we needed that quote when a new fundie jumps in here to condemn all the evil liberals!
Pat expects to bullshit his way into heaven- after all, it’s worked well in every other aspect of his life!
Roo…You are referring to Revelation 7:4 I assume… but if you continue to read in 4:9, it says, “After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.” The 144,000 refers only to the tribes of Israel.Hate to disappoint you, but you can still make it.. it’s not full.. :)
Jana,What you are saying is simply not true. You cannot generalize all people together who put on the name “Christian”.
I am not generalizing all Christians. I and my husband have had personal experiences with different churches growing up and frankly, the people in charge of the youth groups used common “brain washing” tactics. You may feel you have some choice in how you feel about things said during church service, but do your children? What happens when they grow up. I have some pretty screwed up family members. This is more common than you wish to think.The Republican party used the “church” culture to manipulate voters. People who have kept their eyes open see it as plain as the nose on their face.
What ever happened to “WWJD?”People so easily forget.
Jana..I understand your position.. that is why I became a youth leader and was very involved in what my kids were taught. Now they are both involved in “street ministry”, or ministering to the needs of the homeless, poor, prostitutes, drug addicts, homosexuals.. you name it. People have wronged others in the name of the “church” for years. Believe me when I say, “WWJD” is aliove and well if you know where to look!
I like “WWJB”, Who Would Jesus Bomb?
Damoon, I don’t think he’d physically bomb anyone, but he sure did in words!Mostly organized religious leaders.Not believeing in an after-life doesn’t mean you’re not entitled.
