[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes we can find the beliefs of others nonsensical, even as we accept their right to believe it.  I'm sure you think the ladies who practice wicca and buy their crystals at the new-agey shop up the street from me are out-of-their-f-ing-minds.  But we shrug it off and move on.  For some of us, it's the same when the nonsensical beliefs are Christian.  It's just as absurd to some of us.  That doesn't mean that we hate Christians.  For the most part I don't care what they believe as long as they don't try to indoctrinate me or my kid.  I'm sure if the Wiccan ladies loudly mouthed off in front of your kid about how God really created the world in HER cauldron or something you would be offended and wonder how to protect your child from having to hear such crazy things.

Ridiculous reform Jew here. I think the issue that has really gotten lost though the hundreds of responses on this thread is that none of us on here (I hope!) believe that a person shouldn't be able to teach their children about their religious beliefs, but when people want those beliefs taught to children of different beliefs or different religions (I do understand that not all Christians believe in creationism), then we have a problem. Creationists, teach your kids whatever you want. Heck, if you want to lobby for a comparative religion class to be taught at your local public school, go for it! BUT when you try to force your religious beliefs to be taught in science class, you had better believe that I have a problem.[/quote]
