But do those censorious churches use MY tax dollars to carry out their nefarious schemes?

In a sense, yes, because all churches are subsidized in that they don't have to pay taxes.

I am forced to fund a worldview with which I disagree. I would at least like to see that view get some competition.

Running to a court to try to force the teaching of creationism in secular institutions is not the Christian way.

That's not a subsidy.

The only people that have been running to court are the ACLU.

.......Godless liberals are used to Christians just turning the other cheek but they’ve been pushed too far.

The godless liberals decided to hijack the courts and sue Christianity out of the public view.

It won’t work and in fact I think what you’ve “accomplished” is going to come back to bite you and have the precise opposite effect.

What it WILL do is open up soime eyes about our rights!

Let me introduce you to:

“Running to a court to try to force the teaching of creationism in secular institutions is not the Christian way.”

Romans 13 does not give the civil government authority over education of children. That authority rests with parents and the church alone.

Indirectly you are right for all the wrong reasons (I suspect that you are a flaming liberal). Christians should not be going to court to force teaching of creationism in public schools because a) their children should not attend the pagan academies also known as communist government schools in the first place and b) because they are pagan academies, they cannot be reformed, and c) they should be expending their efforts on trying to get state legislatures to exempt them from any school taxes and d) they should be trying to convince other Christians of the threat of government schooling to faith,family, freedom, liberty and the rule of law.
