How we got to where a certain group of citizens could send down federal lightning bolts on any local opinion that strikes them as Christian is amazing.

Strikes them as Christian? In the case of Dover. It WAS Christian, plain and simple. And the school board members who testified admitted as much in court. Their fool plan was doomed from the start when they started telling half truths in their depositions. I suppose they should just take the words of Randy Wenger from the TMLC:

"But even with God’s blessing, it’s helpful to consult a lawyer before joining the battle, the speakers said. For instance, the Dover area school board might have had a better case for the intelligent design disclaimer they inserted into high school biology classes had they not mentioned a religious motivation at their meetings, [Randy] Wenger said. “Give us a call before you do something controversial like that,” he said. “I think we need to do a better job at being clever as serpents,” Wenger added."

Think about the implications of that statement, and then get back to me, on whether such sentiments are what you want representing your faith.

My faith and your faith are completely irrelevant to the constitional question of whether or not the actions of the Dover School board established a religion. Care to answer why you would think it was?
