To gobucks: Be careful where you go with that ID stuff. CA Whackos will have us teaching kids aliens from other worlds planted us as an experiment and are returning occasionally to observe us.
Better read the tea leaves and sober up. What religion/cult is hot in the media currently? If you get ID in the schools, THAT'S what they will be teaching, not what you wanted. And if that is not it, local Native Americans tell a story whereby Turtle brought soil up from the great flood and created land so that Eagle could create people. You want creation? Better be prepared to compete with a lot of other creation stories!
And most of them have a better lobby than you do.
You're amening to WHAT? "pulpit" -- what pulpit? I have yet to hear of the dedication of a "Church of the Intelligent Design" nor do I expect there to be any.
The issue is not in bringing the pulpit in; it is in refraining from squeezing the pulpit out.
