OK let them teach Christianity in schools

[MichaelHarris]

just let me write the textbook chapter on how many religions and beliefs were wiped out by Christianity not to mention the millions killed or tortured by the so-called spread of Christianity throughout the world.

If they want to teach it, teach it all. Don't treat it like the Alamo, sure alot of men died defending it but their motives for being there were less than noble. Historians have fucked up Alamo lore more than any other chapter in American history, sure we all believe that John Wa..I mean Davy Crockett was swinging the ole musket and smacking Mexicans with his last dying breath.

Right-wing Christians have no problem ignoring the truth, they have no problem picking and choosing which bible verse to follow, and they have no problem excluding others from "their" heaven. Native American beliefs are a fascinating study that have all but wiped out by Christianity, likewise for some cultures in South America where missionaries from my town travel to give medical aid for the low low price of conversion. That's right folks, for the one time payment of your soul we'll cure your ills, set your bones, and teach you abstinence. If you act now we'll throw in a Bible but act now, operators are standing by.

Oh sure, right-wing Christians will allow gays or non-Christians in the political party, they'll even allow you into their press pool, what they won't allow is access into their heaven.

1. Hey let them HAVE the schools..and when America falls even

further behind in the sciences and more jobs are shipped to countries where people still have a BRAIN...maybe they'll get it.

I'm right at the giving up point. I can deal with anything for a few decades til I mercifully get to die and I don't have kids.

Their grandkids can look at pics of the SUV with the W04 bumpersticker in the family photo album and give them a scornful look and say, " YOU FUCKING USED ALL THE OIL ON THAT?????!!!!!"

4. I was at that

giving up point until I listened to one of my wive's medical partners talk about "missionary" work. It was right about the time I ripped into her on the horrors others have suffered at the hands of so-called missionaries. I told her, "If you really cared about these people you wouldn't trade medical services for souls, you would give without wanting nothing in return. You be the christian, my wife and I will be caring humans"

2. And our Christian founding fathers were slave owners

who fathered children with 15 year old slaves. We certainly should honor them.

3. Jefferson? He was a deist.

He wasn't a Christian. Many of the founders were deists.
