Great article. Adams makes his point with humor, satire and cold hard facts. I want to be like him when I grow up

It was worth reading through all that to get to:

"Is there any relationship between the ACLU’s love of communism and its hatred of religion?"

Interesting read.

In the famous 1925 Scopes “monkey” trial, Clarence Darrow stated: “For God’s sake, let the children have their minds kept open – close no doors to their knowledge; shut no door from them. Make a distinction between theology and science. Let them have both. Let them be taught. Let them both live.” Have you ever met a 21st Century liberal who believes that both evolution and creation should be taught in schools? Or do they say “Let them have only one”?

Can you name the 1981 Arkansas case in which the ACLU (the ones who brought us the Scopes case) argued that teaching both evolution and creation is actually in violation of the First Amendment?

IMHO he slipped up here. The ACLU didn't argue that teaching creation in a theology class was against the first amendment. "Taught in schools" is much different than "taught in the same class". It seems ol Mike has been taken in by the ID promoters.

Great article, I just didn't like being led to the book sites where I could spend my money on their answers. I'll see what kind of answers are floating around the net first.

Barry Goldwater was right: "You can't legislate morality".

The whole Old Testament was written to prove that. Man failed The Law every time. Morality comes from the heart and is a product of the New Man's (born again) fruits of the spirit.

The motivation to have His law written on our hearts is loving Him with all our heart. Then comes morality, something that doesn't exist by itself.

While certain moral imperatives like not committing murder need to be legislated, there is a fine line between legislating morality and using legislation for nanny state social control.
