you’re supposed to answer; he asked you twice.

LOL! Actually, he asked me twice, and posted my own answer twice.

Soliton: Getting back to the subject of this thread--You believe that churches should be required to teach what the state dictates to them. Is this correct? Yes, or no, please.

If so, then there is no value in the diversity of our educational backgrounds, is there? We're all supposed to be robots, fed information the state wants us to have. No debate allowed on subjects that the state has deemed true.

If not, then your whole argument falls down, as your original question becomes moot.

I do not think we should teach religion in science class in public schools and I do not think that churches should have to teach anything they don't want to.

My point was that there are many competing religious beliefs and scientific facts that contradict Genesis. Based on your logic of academic freedom, churches logically should have to offer competing ideas too.

You objected, not on academic freedom grounds, but suggested that support from taxpayers was the determining factor.

I demonstrated that churches ARE supported by taxpayers and you agreed.

Therefore, logically, both churches AND schools should be forced to offer alternatives or NEITHER should. I prefer neither, but since you promote creationism in schools, you logically support evolution in churches
