It is a free-speech issue and they should be able to spout all the vile hatespeech they want and deny membership to their club. However, they must be able to withstand the same speech directed at them, which they never will. If it wasn't for the glaring double standard at work, I'd say go for it.
No, judges prohibited. In court. But the right is against the judiciary too.Quote:

Go read what a "theory" is in science. A "theory" is not something pulled out of one's ass (like ID). It is a generally accepted explanation that has withstood the rigors of scientific inquiry and testing. Calling something a "theory" is actually quite the compliment. Idiotic Christian wingnuts have bastardized the term so it means what they want it to mean.Quote:
Its okay for the left to say No to teaching Creation. But when I feel we should teach both sides ... NO! Just evolution ... though it is just a theory and not proven to be Law.
Creationism is not science and has no business being in a science curriculum.
Agreed.Quote:

The main six where it starts thou shall not. Its not steeped in the law, but the laws basic principles are from it.
And Bacon is right. If its the latter it is fogger, but its really whatever the state laws prohibit and allow.

I myself believe evolution exists, but if you're taking a class about creation you might as well cover all bases and let the kids sort it out for themselves (cover what Muslim's believe too).
I had a class in high school that studied this for the first half of the semester (social science or something) and it was a really good class. It got a lot of people in to it because of their opposing arguements and we even had a debate on the subject where you had to argue for the side you thought was untrue.
If you want to know more about Christianity and the spirituality of it the classroom isn't going to do it. You need to head down to the church and read the bible for yourself.
I fail to see where "Thou shall not swear falsely by the name of the LORD..." or "Thou shall not commit adultery..." are the basis of American law. I can do both and not be committing a crime (unless there's some bullshit city ordinance because of religious wackos).Quote:

Not to be an ass, but it says that on the site somewhere?Quote:
