Billion + believe in Satan. Should all schools be mandated to teach Creationism?
We must save our children from foolish belief in the supernatural.
Education is the only tool that we have to drag ourselves and our children out of ignorance and superstition and that education should include that it is foolish to read myth literally. No more Dark Ages should be allowed.
Comparative Religion should be taught to insure that no child is lost to creationist intellectual dissonance. We must expose our children to Comparative Religion as soon as they can understand Evolution which would be taught alongside of it.
To do less would be shirking our duty to our children and their young minds. If you do not supports this type of all-inclusive education, please show why you oppose it?
Remember that when President Bush backed up stem cell research, it gave other countries a chance to advance away from the U.S. and hurt the U.S economy.
If the U.S. fails to educate it’s children properly in Comparative Religion and Evolution --- and the various sciences that stem from it, --- the U.S. will shrink it’s economy and power as compared to those countries who have a fuller and more intelligent education program.
Do you agree that it is the duty of the U.S. education system to maintain a first world standard of education in the teaching of Creationism, Comparative Religion and Evolution, --- and catch up to more intelligent countries?
Regards DL

Billion + believe in Satan. No, Hardly anyone ever knowingly "believes in" (i.e. trusts in) Satan by name. In my baptism, I promised to renounce the devil and all his works, and the vain pomp and glory of the world. When I did so I understood that the "devil and all his works" and "the vain pomp and glory of the world" were practically the same thing. Orthodox Christians, whether Protestant, Roman or Greek, do not believe that Satan is a supernatural entity. They do recognise that Satan is real enough and that renouncing him and his works is both meaningful and vitally important. Peter.

GB, do you know you're preaching to the converted now? I am quite sure that a large majority of forum users support requiring schools to teach evolution and world religions/comparative religion. And preferably no school would teach anti-evolutionism.

GB formerly contributed to the BigFooty SRP forum where the New Atheists in the red corner square off against Fundamentalist Christians in the blue. He may think that Quodlibeta is much the same.

If you want a laugh, Google the title of this thread. Seems GB is either desperate to start a flame war anywhere he can or just has too much time on his hands. Or both.

Just as a matter of curiosity, gnosticbishop, given the tone and content of your posts, I was just wondering if you could give us an indication of your own background and education, in so far as it went.

Jonkon, if you don't mind me asking, as what kind of creationist do you identify, if you do? E.g. ID, day-age, gap and restoration, YEC, anything else.

I would call myself a "Biblical Creationist," finding the Biblical record of the universe being created a little over 6000 years ago to be an accurate and authoritative historical account and regarding ID, day-age, gap, and even the "scientific" creationism of ICR to be unnecessary and undesirable compromises to sound epistemology.

Yep, come to think of it you have made one or two comments in the Creationist direction.
