[QUOTE="Speedwell, post: 72170772, member: 387171"] The vast majority of your fellow creationists not only think that students should be required to pray in school but that it must be Evangelical Protestant prayer. During [I]Santa Fe School District v. Loving[/I] a compromise was offered to have clergy of the different denominations represented in the student body lead the prayer in turn, but that suggestion was rejected out of hand by the school district. It was also brought out in that case that public school teachers of the district were sending little Catholic and Mormon kids home in tears by telling them that their parents belonged to "godless cults." That's who creationists [I]really[/I] are, that's how they want the entire country to be run. I know, I've lived amongst them. Yes, the Protestant Bible and none other, as interpreted by Protestants and none other. Back then, Catholic kids could be beaten by their teachers for not going along with it, not just harassed and bullied like in the Bible Belt today. Truly it was a Golden Age. Good on them. We're better off with religious neutrality in the schools than we would be if we let the Fundies back in. In my opinion the way he twists US history borders on treason. It makes me sick to my stomach. In fact, I'm sick of the lot of you. Another creationist on this board has been trying to pursuade us that the purpose of Isaiah 28:10 is to describe God laying down geologic strata after the Flood. So much for "literal inerrancy." It's just plain silly. I suppose in the end we will have to fight again. You people seem to have forgotten how many lives it cost and that you lost last time. [/QUOTE]
