If you knew anything about evolution you'd know that there is nothing in it that prevents people from reconciling it with their faith. You're stereotyping theists based on a few nutjobs and thus building massive strawmen. |

....That's the way to teach your Kid what being one-of-us-here is ABOUT! (re your post, that he came home & told you his teach' said he HAD to say the Pledge, and you set him & the Teacher straight about THAT! YESSSSSSSSS! )
I remember nearly 35 yrs ago MY kid was about YR kid's age and Sam & I went around several rounds with various people about similar stuff. One ended-up with his (otherwise-very-decent-guy) BLACK elementary-school principal's response to my son's well-organized student petition >>>> Mr. Brooks announced "This school does NOT operate by petition." I wrote him a polite letter (He & I were on very good terms, in fact.) and told him, "You've dropped the ball, Mr Brooks." Sheesh; he'd had a chance to TEACH those children something.... You/anyone can learn a hell of a lot by sending a child to (public, or sectarian, either) school in this culcher, I tell ya... |
