You think that the government should provide religious instructions; telling children that the world is the result of God’s creation in class.


No, that’s just your incessant ineffectual strawman.

What I’ve consistently said is if a child brings this up in ANY public setting they shouldn’t be told this is no place for God. PERIOD. Free exercise thereof.

Reading remains fundamental.

“Government control over religious instruction is a STATEIST and LEFTIST position”.

EXACTLY and currently any thinking person understands this religion is secular liberal humanism!

THAT’S THE ENTIRE POINT!

Supporting it and calling yourself a Christian is simply an incoherent position and will always remain a “YOU” problem allmendream.

So now it ISN'T just about students being allowed to pray in school. That was just your ineffectual straw man argument, abandoned once called upon it.

Now you are back to suggesting that I as a teacher in a public school (I was briefly) should specifically advocate some religious beliefs; specifically creationism/I.D..

Science is not secular humanistic religion. Creationists cannot even be coherent on if people who accept evolution are denigrating mankind by thinking of us as animals or elevating mankind as an object of worship (humanism).

And is a “secular humanist religion” sort of like a “Hells Angel”? How can something be both secular and religious?

Calling yourself a Christian is simply an incoherent position tpanther.
