You show your true intolerant colors Unam Sanctum. I vote conservative more often than anything else. Your labeling of me as a liberal clearly shows your intolerance. I was trying to point out that there is pressure from BOTH SIDES. I give you the latest Kansas battle on creationist theory vs evolution theory. I agree that BOTH should be covered in class. But having said that I also believe that if it were put to a nationwide vote as to witch is the more likely, sorry, eveolution might well be the winner. I grew up back east and clearly remember blue laws that prevented certain stores from being open or selling certain things on Sundays. I am glad that those half-assed laws were done away with. And considering who was making the laws when they were enacted they were clearly passed because the great leaders of the time thought the public should be in church praying, not shopping. Given the power to do so, fanatical christians would be as likely to push their views and beliefs as much as secularists. I tried to make my point. Sorry if you don't get it.
This sentiment is repeated all the time. I think it is a load of crud. If someone objects to specific issues, like evolution in school or abortion, debate those issues on the merits. To act as if Christians in this nation have any real desire or ability to overthrow the First Amendment's twin guarantees of no establishment and free exercise and establish an Iranian-like theocracy is simply lunatic left-wing land. It is not only untrue, it foments hatred of traditional religious believers which is rampant on the left and destroys our generally tolerant society. Tolerance goes both ways, you know. Secularists could show a little themselves these days.
