Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most |

He who says "The United States is a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles and beliefs" is woefully ignorant of history. The United States was founded by Deists, and the puritan settlers were but one immigrant group among many. |

Jerry Dees Jr |
With theists, divine will is often cited until it reflects poorly on God, at which point human free will is invoked. |
|
|
Jerry Dees Jr |
The Bible is comparable to authoring a text on lake trout and claiming its relevance to all fish worldwide. |
|
|
Jerry Dees Jr |
The notion of free will granted by an all-knowing God is one of the most significant contentions among Christians. However, it also serves as the most substantial evidence against the existence of a god. |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
God is function without form -- a conceptual entity often central to tribal identity, a mythic glue for social cohesion, a psychological source of hope and comfort, and a powerful talisman protected by assumed infallibility and supportive social taboos. Yet he is, after all, puppet rather than creator -- and -- shaped by his self-appointed messengers -- is not exempt from the corruptive influence of power. Too human, with power of divine pretence, he becomes his satanic counterpart. (Observation #2369) |

EA Miller |
The Bible has nothing that resembles science. There is no information on atomic structure, DNA, or even the importance of basic hand washing for that matter. Stars were even thought to be able to fall from the sky and strike the Earth because the writers of this fictional myth had absolutely no idea what they were. The level of ignorance in the Bible (which has done so much damage to this planet) is utterly mind-blowing. |

EA Miller |

EA Miller |
Priests, pastors, and other religious leaders should start paying taxes (lots of them) if they plan on continuing to meddle and influence major political decisions and government policy. |

There is knowledge, and then there is religion. They are mutually exclusive. |

Stache |
I don't see why I must listen to your reasons of why god exists if you won't listen to my reasons not. |
