That said, I still think people can decide what they want their children taught in school. If the majority of people want their local schools to teach intelligent design, then let the schools teach it. It isn't like teaching religion makes the masses suddenly hateful creatures. In reality, most Christians are people who are very tolerant of others. That's the true Christian message. We can obviously see the radical Christians such as the Westboro Baptist Church who pervery Christianity to teach hate, but that doesn't really portray Christians correctly. Just like thinking that all Muslims are terrorists, things like this just aren't true.
sorry if I came off that way, I in no way mean that all x group of people are y .
anyways, debating on religion itself isn't alloud on SP afaik. so I won't however I'd like to say that you might want to read the old and new testament before stating what a religion is all about. incase you have already done this then we just happen to interpret what is written differently. as someone who has suffered discrimination and religious intollerance I have a very short fuse when dealing with religion .
