You can't have one minority making rules that are abhorrent to the majority and that is exactly what you would propose, the people who insist on teaching creation in a science class are in the vast minority and getting to be a smaller minority every year so YES, I would be happy if you just crawled into a corner and all your buddies keep quiet, maybe form your own colony on Vancouver Island and teach all the stupid fairy tales you want in a science class, just don't try to foist that crap on thinking people.
So you would be happy if Christians like me just keep quiet then, huh?

This is unacceptable too. Why should children who have the misfortune of
being born into a religious household be indoctrinated with lies?
Christians: Do you think it fair that little children are taught Islam?
Originally posted by JS357"islamizising" I find very insulting since people are being killed for this, so
I didn't insult you and no I didn't compare anything to beheading. I am sorry to have encountered you in such a state.
to have even the worse Christians who want laws changed do not equal
that in the least. If you find the comparison no big deal I beg to differ.

be fair? Who are you or I to tell another what they can and cannot teach
their own children. I get that Atheist may resist that, but I don't.

Don't you know how lucky you are?

Who are you or I to tell another what god to follow?
and believe it to be. That does not force anyone to follow any god or God.
I don't believe that is on par that does not allow someone to teach their
own kids what they believe to be true or false.

studied the Bible, no one talked about God. So your statement does not
apply to me, it may others. I became a Christian at 25 years old.
