Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!
Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY(pc-religion/rhetoric)...
Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/ZOMBIE/BRAVE-NWO1984 LIBERAL NEO-Soviet Darwin America---the post-modern age
What's clear is, the evolutionists don't want alternate or dissenting views to be heard! And now that the dam has broken, their faulty theori3es are about to be exposed.
Evolution is bunk.
BTW, which of the following religions would prefer to be taught in our schools...Catholicism, United Methodist, Jehovah Witness, LDS, etc, etc...?
And don't forget Zorastrianism, Taoism, Shinto, Buddhism, and about 1600 varieties of animist, paganist, and dumbassist.
Oh heck, I forgot a lot of them. Can you imagine the focus group Bubba would have selected to choose one state religion?
Quite true...now pick which one should be the state religion taught in our public schools...for this is precisely what you are advocating.
Quick! Pick one and only one!
That would be funny! Status according to how much you can pay! Count those dollars votes!
What on earth does this post have to do with the current discussion...or are you lamely attempting to tell me I'm a Leftist...?
we get the aclu one monopoly religion(hAteTHEISM) TYRANNY of evolution out of govt---schools--politics!
NO STATE 'science'/RELIGION---none!
I agree with you about religion, but teaching ID/Creationism in our public schools will be the beginning of state-sponsored "religiosity". Whoever complains the loudest will be heard...and public policy will have to change.
You've seen this before...in homosexual rights agendas. First, they got the public to agree to diversity and tolerance. Now, their recruitment schemes are everywhere and our children are preyed upon in increasing numbers...all while little Johnny's teacher explains that homosexuality is a valid alternative lifestyle.
How will ID have to be presented when special-interest groups make their demands known? Will little Johnny's teacher have to preface her remarks to the class with, "The god, gods, goddesses, rocks, ancestors, trees, nothing, us, etc., got together and started our Universe. We don't understand how this happened, but we know it did..."
Just how confused will little Johnny be after that mega-pc introduction???
One solution: teach your religion and family traditions at home. Provide a sense of wonder and connectivity to your offspring yourselves...instead of being too lazy to answer deep questions about ancestors and origins.
According to Gallup, they've been beginning to get it for quite awhile --
Are you certain you want the religion of stealth pantheism (aka scientific materialism, naturalism) in public classrooms?
