Forcing atheists to pay for religious indoctrination is theft,
and I seem to remember a Commandment about that.

This dork is a graduate of "Regent University". From their web site:

"Dr. M. G. "Pat" Robertson, founder and president of the Christian
Broadcasting Network (CBN), had an inspired vision to establish a
graduate-level institution that would train men and women for the
challenge of representing Christ in their professions. In 1978,
Robertson's vision materialized, as 70 students began classes."

In other words, a christian diploma mill!

Wonder if they teach a course in "Assination Techniques"?

While I would usually leave someone like you with my standard "*****
troll", I don't want you to run away thinking you've somehow made a
good point.

Once they had successfully kicked God out of school, the Liberal secular
humanists went after God's laws in the public square.

Liberal secular humanists, huh? Right, because the "liberals" aren't
grubbing for the Ned vote just like the neocons. And we all know how
awful secular humanism has been, giving us great art and advances in
science and technology. You know, we should have stuck with the
Catholic Church.

You know that if you fuckers follow your ideas to their logical
conclusions, you'll find almost all of them put us back in the middle
ages.

Hey, you know what our government needs? What? More God! Good idea,
that way we can stamp out anything that isn't supported by the Bible,
like PRETTY MUCH ALL OF FUCKING SCIENCE. When you've already got all
the answers, you don't go looking for more.

Most of the Christian population is poor, and yet they vote for the
neocons, whos economic policies only widen the class disparity. As long
as we're going back to the intellectual equivalent of the middle ages,
hell, why not bring back feudalism?

Look at the Ten Commandments ? a perfectly good set of morals and values
that just so happen to have been the cornerstone of Western Civilization and
jurisprudence for 2,000 years or so

First, half of them are about a very specific god, and exactly how he
wants you to suck him off. The others are pretty much common sense and
were around long before the Hebrews.

Besides, except possibly during the middle ages, I believe the Code of
Justinian was the standard of law for the last ~2000 years. You're
either woefully ignorant, or a liar. I don't know which I hope.

yet for 40 years Liberals have fought religiously (oxymoron) to
remove all reference to these God-ordained decrees from schools and
courthouses across the land.

How clever of you to recognize an oxymoron. Because religious wars
haven't plagued this planet. Dipshit.

The whole problem with this God-ordained nonsense is that there's no
proof there's a god, and even pretty good arguments that the Christian
flavor of God doesn't exist. There are more people than just Christians
in this country. The Ten Commandments in a courthouse indicates a) a
harsh, unmerciful legal system b) hostility towards non-Christians.
"Thou shalt have no gods before me". If that's supposedly the basis of
law, we cannot expect justice.

In the last 40 years? *****. Serious scientists haven't taken
Creationism as a valid scientific explanation for well over 100 years.

as a manifestation of God's
handiwork with the logically absurd theory that we humans have evolved from
apes (recently) and pond scum (ultimately).

Logically absurd. Unlike the entire Universe popping into being in 6
days, and the creator of all things picks out one little planet to
create intelligent life forms on, and cares about each and every one of
them enough to fail to provide any evidence of his existence. Learn a
little about your beliefs and evolution before you go spouting off
about logical absurdities.

Today these pseudo-intellectual,
self-styled "genius experts" even ridicule the perfectly valid concept of
Intelligent Design,

Hahahahahahahaha! Oh classic. Perfectly valid, eh? So why aren't they
submitting their articles to peer-reviewed journals? Or are they and
they're being rejected by all those nasty liberal, pseudo-intellectual,
self-styled "genius expert", secular humanist denizons of our academic
ivory towers?

derisively calling it "junk science."

I'll let you in on a secret: ID is just another way of invoking the
goddidit explanation. That isn't science. Of course they're going to
call it junk science.

Hehe, do you know how much the theory of evolution has changed since
Darwin's day? It's not a stagnant theory. And incidentally, nobody's
said "Yeah, looks good enough. Well, I suppose we're done with
biology." There's ongoing research, and as yet all evidence supports
the modern theory of evolution.

Alright, now that we're done with your "argument",

***** troll.

While I would usually leave someone like you with my standard "*****
off troll", I don't want you to run away thinking you've somehow
