This is something I always find interesting:
“...O'Donnell criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons’ position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine.”
I'm curious to know WHICH version of Creation O'Donnell thinks should be taught in public schools vs. the version of Creation that would be taught by the liberal indoctrinators in our public education system.
Whether it violates the 1st Amendment is irrelevant to me. It is just plain dumb.
Will it be the Moon goddess or the Sun god being taught? Will the queer teacher tell the story of Adam & Evan? Given the diversity of many schools, did Creation take 7 days, or was it 1, or 6, or 8, as many religions believe? Was Creation was a result of aliens? Will the story of Cain & Able degenerate into victim-hood for Cain, who was abused, neglected, & disrespected to the point of being right to kill Abel?
I'm sure the teachers unions will decide these difficult questions in a manner acceptable to all parents. NOT!!!!!
Why would ANYONE want their children to receive their basic religious education in our incredibly FAILED & propaganda driven public schools?
Sadly, O'Donnell is proving to be both ignorant & naive.
She is 100% right on the 1A, and Coons and you are 100% wrong.
The proper answer is that it should be left up to the school boards to decide.
Christine is fully aware that starting in 1947 with the Everson decision, the Supreme Court invented separation of church and state.
It's irrelevant which version she believes, she's simply not for banning a school district from doing so under penalty of law. She is correct; the founders of this country would never have supported such a ban, and never would have supported the current legal position of the elites on the Establishment Clause. Heck, they used the Capitol Building for church services on Sundays!
I don't think you understand the First Amendment and original intent. “Congress shall make no law” means exactly that. Please explain to me how a local school board deciding to teach Creationism alongside Evolution is a law made by Congress establishing a national religion.
I’m curious to know which version of Genesis you read that made you believe Cain’s murder was anywhere close to being ‘right’.
God makes it extremely clear that Cain must master his anger, and rule over the desire that sin will tempt him with. (Gen 4:5-7)
