What Religious Bigotry Looks Like

No one will come out directly against Christianity. Oh a few. But not mainstream. The focus will be to come out against things they are taught in the family and in particular by home schoolers.

This persecution comes in the form of anti creationism or consideration for the events of creation as outlined in the Bible. You can't teach that because we don't believe it. So, we are going to deal with your kids. Take them away from you in this parental imperative.

One mom after a divorce has been forced to put her kids in Public School so they can be indoctrinated with evolution theory like everyone else.

This is celebrated by right and left political alike. Like this is a good thing. I mean we don't want those poor kids taught THAT do we?

We want kids taught that they are no better than a bear or a spider. Just another animal. Certainly not marvelously and wondrously made by a gracious creator God. You wouldn't want them to believe God cares about them because he made them like the writer of Psalm 8:

⁴What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

⁶Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

⁷Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

⁸The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

While it seems right and good even to many who are on the political right that such "False" teaching of children must be controlled or even abolished, let's slide down that slippery slope a bit further. IF THEN: If it's OK to use thought control in this case, what about:

• Teaching young people to handle firearms
• Instructing young people about the value of Human Life and being Pro Life
• Teaching young people about the birds and the bees and Homosexuality as an aberration.

Sure, those are conventional right wing values and left winger are all up in arms saying, yeah, that should be regulated along with teaching kids about creation over evolution.

If a RIGHT WING regime should come to power, should impose thought control at the same level, what precious free thought would you be controlled in. This is truly a goose and gander issue. If we allow the imposition of the thought police to stand we will have them at the back of every church, political meeting and board meeting making sure no one utters a name or idea not acceptable to the state.

Is that what you want? I don't think right wing anti creationists want that. I think they haven't thought it thru. Do we want to start engaging in thought control in America?

Seems like we haven't thought this one thru. Be careful, the beast could get loose and come back to devour YOU.
