"And I guess, I will let you all go on saying that it's okay for yet another group to dictate what is deemed acceptable and correct for everyone."

The Baptist church does not "dictate" anything to their lay persons. They do not presume such authority.

They merely advise. They research and present conclusions.

All Baptists are free to pursue their lives in any manner they deem personally appropriate. As Baptists we all seek to please God and become more Christ-like. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is personal, one-on-one. There is no church "authority" interpreting the Bible for us.

There is no such thing as an absence of values in any institution. When Christian values are scrubbed from the schools they are replaced by a new system of values, I call them educredos. It is absolutely a creed, a system of beliefs about the value of materials to be taught.

The SBC is simply stating that the public schools have become a place hostile to Christian religion by advocating the superiority of educreed over Christian beliefs.

The SBC, and all churches, have a duty to alert their faithful to the dangers facing their families.

For those who have had any sustained experience with higher-level administrators within the public school system they will recognize that indeed they operate on faith. The administrators truly believe that their system of values are the ones all children need to be taught. They believe it with passion and religious zeal.

Yet the educators are operating entirely on faith, because there is no evidence that demonstrates that their faith is in any way superior to the Christian faith.

The rise in crime, divorce and every negative social behaviour over the past 40 years is directly proporational to the removal of Christ from the publis school system and the implementation of the new religion of public education.

I do not wish to homeschool, but I must because I refuse to allow my children to be further harmed by the clerics of apostasy who teach children their parents religions are false and only the Truth is allowed within the schools.

300 years ago these educrats might have been hung for heresy. They are promoting that our children be doomed to hell (which is where they go when they abandon Christ).

What would you do if you knew a group of people were using the power of the government to try to send your kids to hell?

The time has come for Christians to arise and cast off all insitutions that would lure their children away from Christ,
