Well, that was the only law I referred to and you ran off on some tangent about Quaker persecution. If you had not run off with a red herring you wouldn't be defending yourself.
I told you I would answer your questions later. You have given a great example of why I did that. Now I have a great desire to let you eat static. But here are some observations you might make about my posts on this thread.
Oh... I am sorry this whole post was about teaching children to read the bible in school. I am against it, you are for it. I asked do you want to convert my children because I wanted to know why you want the bible read to children who may not be Christian. It is a simple question.
As for tangents, you tried to validate your argument by quoting a Puritan law about bible reading. I brought up examples that Puritan laws are not exactly acceptable practice in modern day society. I asked if you agreed. Not a tangent.
AS for the imaginary separation of church and state, argue that with the 1947 ruling of the Supreme Court where they voted it was due to the application of the 1st amendment to the 14th. At this point we should not even argue it.
Put aside all of that and I ask you again, why do you want to teach the bible in school to students who's parents may not be bring up their children Christian? I did not accuse you of attempting to convert them... if you go back and read my post I asked this question multiple times and I got no answer.
