God help us that we have so many in our world today who have bought the lie of evolution hook, line and sinker and want their children to grow up believing in same!
Who would've thought that a day would come when the Holy Bible's teaching would be referred to as something that prevented a child from learning what they "need to know?"
Who would've thought twenty-five years ago we'd see a day come when parents would be concerned that the minds of children could be "POLLUTED" by hearing a reference made to the Word of God in a classroom?

I for one, am glad it finally happened. Your bible isn't the constitution, it's not even the law of the land. At best it's a guide how to live, as long as you cherry-pick the 'good' parts, and dump pretty much the entire OT. At worst it's a contagian that affects the brains of people and is many times passed on for generations through un-education.
Let´s forget that the Bible is full of scientifically inconsistencies, something that many people, Christian or not, agree. We could say that it´s a metaphore, that you can´t take it literarilly. And then, you´ve found the reason why people believe in Evolution. They´re not negating God, it´s just that the vision of God shaped by nomads is not suitable to our times. We don´t live like nomads, we don´t have to believe what the nomads believed.
Unless you were in a religious school, prayer never had a place in a public school.
Phantasmagoria: You forgot, Catholics are not True Christians, they are pagans who worship the virgin Mary!
God help us that we have so many in our world today who have bought the lie of creationism hook, line and sinker and want their children to grow up believing in same!
Twentyfive years before this quote, I was taught about religions in Religion classes and about scientific stuff in Science classes. Nobody ever even hinted that one would hinder the other, or even that they had anything to do with each other. I'm not sure, but we may still have had a State religion at that time.
You were saying...?
I'm concerned. I'm concerned now, I was concerned 25 years ago, and in was concerned 50 years ago. How on earth can we trust the word of Christians who believe the unsubstantiated myths they're told and cannot believe the evidence they're shown? How can these people even be considered fit to serve on a jury, if they do not have any respect for the evidence?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
