It was enlightening, and that's the way it should be.<br /><br />I believe in God, the creator. But, it does not trouble me if someone is an atheist. It makes me sad for them, but it doesn't mean I can't stand 'em.<br /><br />I have only known two or three true atheists in my life. Most all "atheists" I've known are really just God-haters. Deep inside they know that He exists, but they MUST wipe Him from the public square, and they go out to convince everyone else in the world that they are right.<br /><br />The true atheists that I know take the attitude, "If someone wants to believe in God, fine! It's no skin off my nose." And they live, and let live...Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-19798141994835839982009-12-12T09:58:38.534-05:002009-12-12T09:58:38.534-05:00Great points Jenni and Paul.

Why would anyone be afraid to let children see both creationism and Darwinism. Show them how to use their brains and then give them information to self evaluate. Your freedom to believe should not limit what I get to see and believe. I see that Mississippi and kansas are both wrestling with this question.

I have been bombarded with Darwinist troll e-mails for the past four days. I really do not see the connection between religion and science, but Darwinism, as a religion, is simply laughable.<br /><br />Do you think the exposure of those fraudulent scientists that got busted on the AGW data has anything to do with this?<br /><br />Do you think that the lefties, since Global Warming has been disproven, are afraid that Darwinism will be tossed out of schools, too? Dang, it should have been tossed out in 1925 when the hoax was first discovered.<br /><br />And in Mississippi, no Biblical philosophy may be taught in any public school at all, no matter what the mainstream media says about our Bible thumping ways.Paul Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825674914008378242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-75442880117611759802009-12-11T18:32:11.525-05:002009-12-11T18:32:11.525-05:00Jenni's got her head on straight. :)Jenni's got her head on straight. :)Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-74016220843941287462009-12-11T17:17:11.625-05:002009-12-11T17:17:11.625-05:00The problem is not so much that people believe dif...The problem is not so much that people believe differently as that people on both sides can't stand that there is a whole group of people who believe differently. It's okay to trample their beliefs and mock them because, duh, <i>they're</i> wrong. It isn't a creation vs. evolution thing, it's an idiot vs. idiot thing. It crops up as homeschool vs. public school, stay at home mom vs. working mom, Christian vs. atheist, straight vs. gay, Democrap vs. Repuklican, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Everyone is so damned narcissistic these days that they think what they think is more important and more correct than what anyone else thinks. Be decent and civil to someone who doesn't agree with everything you hold true, much less be friends with them? You've got to be kidding! No, they're wrong, so just stick with the premise that they must be stupid and/or assholes. And the worst offenders are often those who like to talk about how everyone else is so intolerant and how they, in comparison, are so very tolerant. Nice.<br /><br />Hmmm...I think there may have been something I needed to get off my chest. No, it wasn't on account of your blog, in case you were wondering, but thanks for the vent space;o)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.com
