We need to start teaching our kids about Jesus Christ, and not about this ridiculous science crap that the LEFTIST COMMIES want our kids believin'.

Kids need to know that God loves them and knows them better than anyone! He knew every single detail about them and their entire lives eons before they were ever conceived. They need to know that He has a plan for them, and that He will love them eternally, unless they grow up to be gays or Democrats. :shock:

Awesome! And I think the evolution theory should be BANNED TOO!!!! I read the best proof of creationism the other day, the final evidence that the universe is young: "If the Universe was old, why would Saturn's ring look all shinny and new?!" They won! Hands down!

excellent point!

Actually... I agree.
If the ACLU supports the rights of other groups to hold meetings on school property... why not Christian groups? It is not forced upon all students... they are invited to attend and have the right to choose not to participate.
...
The flip side being... the Christians need to understand that their right to assemble means that they need to show tolerance towards other religious groups, such as Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhists and Atheists to hold similar meetings.
...
And that the line is drawn... no teachings of religion should be taught in the public classrooms... unless ALL religious teachings are allowed and given equal time in the classrooms. Which may be a good thing... maybe Christians should learn about Islam from Muslims, not FOX News and that Muslim students should learn about Christianity from Christians, not Al Qaeda.
We are NOT a Christian Nation... we ARE a Free Nation.

I don't understand why so many people on both sides feel that religion and science are incompatible. On one side, you've got the religious whack-jobs who believe every word in the Bible should be taken literally. The world was created in seven days, period. Don't try telling them that it's possible one day to God could be a billion years to you or me. That's just crazy talk, and clearly you're going to Hell if you think that way. As for dinosaurs...well, I've heard 2 different crazy Christian theories about them. One is that the carbon dating method for fossils is flawed, and man and dinosaur actually walked the earth at the same time. (I thought Christopher from the Sopranos best addressed that theory: "The Bible says the Garden of Eden was paradise. How could it be paradise if Adam and Eve were running around all the time scared shitless of being eaten by a fuckin' velociraptor?"). My personal favorite was one I heard that said Satan put the dinosaur bones in the ground to "test our faith."
I don't understand the atheists either, though. It seems unlikely to me that life on Earth was just a huge coincidence...all these molecules formed under just the right conditions, temperature, etc...until voila! Human life! I personally believe that God put all those wheels in motion. Intelligent design, I think they call it.

Of course, I'm not an expert on science or religion...I just don't see why both sides are so damn hard-headed about all this. But I guess it's that way with most "issues," really.

That's fine if you don't believe that. But you proved my point by attacking only half of what I was saying, that being the half that you don't personally believe. I think it's obvious that there are some things that science will never be able to prove. I think a great example came from the movie "Contact" (which I generally thought was a pretty terrible movie, but there was one exchange I really liked). Matthew McConaughey, playing a Christian minister, is discussing the existence or non-existence of God with Jodie Foster's character, an atheist scientist. When Foster says that there's simply no proof of the existence of God, Matthew McConaughey asks her: "Did you love your father?" Foster responds: "Of course!" McConaughey responds with "prove it." Just food for thought...science has yet to prove the existence of love, and I doubt they ever will...but most of us know it exists.

Actually, this was a school function. An assembly, during school hours. Do not believe it was optional.

We need to let our kids know that Jesus is the way, or else they'll vote Democrat.

It cannot be debated that school is for teaching what is known, not what some people believe.

If you cannot decipher the difference, I suggest you take a cursory look at the field of epistemology.

And if we want to teach religion in public schools, it should be an elective and it should be about the history of all religions... and not proselytization of a gaseous vertebrate of astronomic heft.

Are you saying that non-white majority religions should be able to teach our kids lies?

Allah is fake! Jesus is real! It's proven by Jesus, who said it.

When you lack the inability to think logically, you rely on religion. You can rely on a God...I'll rely on me.

Does time exist?
What was God doing 900 Trillion Years before man was created?
How old is God?
Was there nothing before God? Where did God come from.
What is his/her/its motivation or agenda
Wouldn't a decision to CREATE a bunch of fools such as ourselves (and the habitat to sustain our existence) be just as random as "all these molecules formed under just the right conditions, temperature, etc."
why should God care if someone believes or not?
If there is a God, and if I don't believe there is a God, wouldn't that be God's doing?

If there is a God, I don't believe that any of us would be able to comprehend him in a way that would lend itself to meaningful conversation.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong.
