Can you say American Taliban?

"Tally-Born-Again"

Oh yeah, exactly the same. Christians are always burning down schools and beheading evolutionists. /sarc

Comments like yours, are amazing. Let me try to demonstrate why.

I know that God created the universe because His Holy Spirit testifies to me through the Bible. I also know that I can't prove either one of those things, but I am at peace that. I do seek to show others that faith in Jesus is the truth, and that truth is in the Bible. If and when people disagree with me, I can walk away because I know that ultimately their fate rests with God.

Now there are people like you who believe you have all the facts on your side. You also believe that you can prove it. Yet, when people don't believe what you believe, you are not at peace with it, and you take the step of putting those who disagree with you in the SAME category as terrorists.

Currently, our government is at war against terrorists, and our government puts into prison terrorists who threaten freedom. You equate creationists to those terrorists.

Can you begin to see how communists countries, that fully embraced evolution and hated Christianity, locked away and killed many religious people? Can you see how Bible believing Christians don't want a belief system shoved onto their children, that in the end equates Christians with terrorists?

Sincerely

No I don't equate Christians to the Taliban, I equate those who think they should force their views on the rest of us. From how you described yourself you're not someone who I'd call the American Taliban.

I do not care what anyone believes, and I think everyone has the right to think whatever they want, no matter how stupid it is. However who is trying to indoctrinate school children with your religious ideas. If your children already go to church and Sunday school why do you need the state to teach them things that are very clearly not true, just so some in our society don't have their fragile belief system broken.

Public schools are a secular institution and evolution is accepted by an overwhelming amount scientists who study biology as being the mostly likely explanation of how species come to be, with the facts we have now. I have no doubt there are parts of evolution we have wrong because all science is always changing.

And don't try to insinuate that evolution caused Communism because thats silly. I also bet more Americans in the 1930s believed in evolution than soviets did.

The National Center for Science Education is politicized itself. Here's how they describe the ACLU and People for the American Way on their links page:


####American Civil Liberties Union
Organization devoted to defending American civil liberties.

People for the American Way
Advocates for protecting American freedoms.####


What a joke!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is the evolutionists and secularists who need compulsory attendance, compulsory funded, price-fixed, monopoly government schools.
