On Teaching Religion in our Schools

I'’m a Christian. I want every person to know Jesus. There is an attempt to teach religion in our schools. I'’m against it. Religion is defined by the dictionary in part as: A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

It'’s religion that is being taught with unrestrained zeal and devotion that I am against. You know it's religion when:

• There is no empirical proof
• It requires faith to believe it
• It attempts to explain origins, events and creation
• It relies on ancient bits that are pieced together
• It says that all other beliefs are wrong
  

That religion is evolution. The "church of evolution" has taken it upon themselves to establish a state church against the tenets of the constitution. Is evolution a religion? Some educators have put together legislation to outlaw the teaching of anything other than evolution in the classrooms where origins are taught. This is establishing a state religion. This article appeared in a Madison Newspaper an excerpt of which appears below:

"Our children must be exposed to what science really is about and how the scientific enterprise functions, free of political or religious connotations," Berceau said at a news conference where she was flanked by Rep. Spencer Black, D-Madison, and University of Wisconsin-Madison professors. "It is designed to prevent the introduction of pseudo-science in the science classroom."

Under her plan, parents could file lawsuits if their children's science teachers went beyond the curriculum to teach non-science-based theories, she said. Berceau said philosophy or other courses could teach intelligent design or other religious-based theories.


They call intelligent design pseudo science. I won'’t call evolution pseudo religion.

I'’ll just call what it is: Religion! The priests of which are so evangelical they fear and hate anything that challenges them at any level.

Don'’t let this religion in your classrooms to the exclusion of any others.

This is a war for the hearts and minds of your children (and grandchildren) and the classroom is the battlefield.
