this country is the greatest. you can believe what you want, practice what you want, say what you want, and be yourself. i think it's wonderful that everyone is allowed to have their own mind. although it upsets me as bit to be viewed as a christian nation. granted there are many christians here and our founding fathers were mostly christian i don't think it's right to involve any sort of godly beliefs in our school system. i think all we should teach our children in the public school system is scientific fact and actually proper, correct history. (that's a completely different post all together.) i don't think it's fair to have someone's religious beliefs pushed on you or to have to sit through these beliefs in school when yours are entirely different. if you want to teach your children creationism and denounce science then you should have your kids home schooled. if you believe that schools should bring god into the equation then you should have your kids home schooled. to deny others beliefs is so very contradictory to christianity. right? to hold on to bigoted ideas about others and their faith the very unchristian. right?
at the street fair one year this woman came up to me and asked if i were christian. i told her no, as i do not practice christian beliefs and my religion has many differences than christianity. she proceeded to tell me that if i were not christian then i could never be saved and would burn in hell. i didn't repsond to her, i just walked away thinking that was not very christian like. why do they do that? they contradict themselves constantly. then try to push their desires and beliefs on others. i just think it should be left out of state and school as our forefathers intended. =^..^=

You know... I think if parents raised their own damn children, instead of having the school system do so, this would be less of a problem. Seriously, if you have your child in a public school, you know they may get fed some bullshit and you're going to have to 'parent' them to investigate things for themselves, or stick by their faith or whatever. It shouldn't matter what the school teaches, so long as the parents are actually parenting!
i agree but unfortunately, as jim saw first hand, these parents feel like it's the teacher's responsibiliy to raise their children right. whatever! lazy ass parents. and in public i'm ridiculed for being strict!
