The only reasonable solution is to offer both viewpoints in the textbooks, simple as that. Problem is that groups like the ACLU wont allow that, as "religion" shouldnt be broadcasted in textbooks. However, theyll surely allow secular humanism in the textbooks!

So your solution is to "take em to church"? Thats fine and dandy! But thats one day a week, just over an hour's time to be "taught". The other remaining 35-40 hours a week they spend in school, theyre being taught there is no God, etc. Thats real fair, guy.

OFFER BOTH VIEWPOINTS IN THE TEXTBOOKS. Problem solved. But religious people dont get that option, we have to bend to the will of the non-believers.

So what viewpoint from the Temple of Satan Church would you include in your school textbooks then?

YOUR fairy tale that life arose from a single-celled organism and birthed all of life in its incredible, irreducibly-complex life forms is the ultimate fairy tale.

[rude, baiting, trolling] You're free to believe what you want but children shouldn't be indoctrinated with such beliefs. Teach them science in public schools and if the parents wish to brainwash them away from logic, let them do so in private.

Sure, why not? I wouldnt protest it, even though I dont agree with it. Kids arent given a choice these days, its one way or the highway. I think if all viewpoints were offered everyone would just shut the heck up and let free will reign.

With that being said, the Anton LaVey's views are already being taught in school, and that is that you are your own god, basically (humanism).

This thread has gone far afield from the original narrow topic, and is headed nowhere good. Take the discussion you've turned this into to the general forums where it belongs.
