"WHY don't we present both theories for what they TRULY are- man vs God or materialism vs theism."
Because that would be lying?
"I say we show what comes from a "me first" mindset."
Capitalism?
"I have held a suspicion that some of those in here presenting themselves as "libertarians" aren't truly that at all."
Just as many presenting themselves as *conservative* are really collectivists.
"At worst some of you are nothing more than "stealth" lefties looking to start trouble and, at BEST, the very sort of libertarian- boozy, beer-soaked frat boy, short sighted and hedonistic thinkers who can't imagine an issue beyond your pleasure, your money, your convenience, your porn and your dope issues- who will make it an absolute impossibility to EVER see a true libertarian in DC."
You have issues. lol
"YES- BOTH theories."
ID/Creationism isn't a scientific theory. Never has been.
"Try to imagine an education system- supported only at the local level- where students are taught both theories and where both are actually discussed in a dispassionate and intelligent way."
Creationism can't be discussed intelligently, because it isn't an intelligent claim.
"Imagine a generation of critical thinkers who learn a little SOMETHING, enough to make their own decision on which to believe. "
Imagine a bunch of kids who are exposed to everything and never told what is right or wrong. Imagine a country where WHOLE SCIENCE is the norm. Imagine some other country producing the world's scientists, because that is what's going to happen. WHOLE Language and WHOLE Math is bad enough; we don't need Whole Science.
"It is not incumbent upon the REST of us to accept what the leftists- or YOU- tell us we MUST believe."
Believe what you wish; it's still a lie to teach children creationism/ID.

One thing I have learned from this and other websites- when I become the issue, rather than the stated topic, the opposition has lost the argument.
Now it gets boring...
