Here is Mr. B's lie/misstatement/ignorance/clouded judgment.

“our country would not, demonstrably, be a “theocracy” if we were to go back to the post-Scopes, where evolution was taught, but questions were also allowed to be raised”

To help out Mr.B or anyone else who is completely ignorant of U.S. history I helpfully pointed out that the Scopes trial unsuccessfully challenged a law that made it illegal to teach the Science of Evolution in Science class. So it was illegal to teach Evolution both before and after the Scopes trial and Mr.B's statement is absolutely and unambiguously incorrect.

You consider our country post-Scopes to be a theocracy?

When was that changed and by whom?

and yet we were in no danger of becoming a theocracy...before or after...agreed.

So why do the godless need to censor and suer to silence ID again?

And what evidence do you have that godless liberals are somehow “objective” again, be it in journalsim, law, politics, education...?
