It's better then that, they go after our children. First the 10 Commandments show up in court, then they show up in school. My kid asks the teacher "What's that mean?" Teacher says "These are commandments from God". Kid says "My dad said there isn't a god." Teacher suggests that there is because the tiny little steps that started here have brought us to the point a few years from now where evangalism is considered appropriate.
Chairboy, what do you object to in the 10 commandments? What's the harm in posting them in court?
Later: Chairboy, all they're doing is posting them in our violence torn schools. What's the big deal? They're already in the courthouse, the school is hardly anything that different.
Later: Chairboy, what do you expect the teachers to say when asked? If you're really worried about what your children learn, teach them at home! Of course, I'm not sure how an atheist would teach values... but that's ok, God loves all his children!
Later: Chairboy, the teachers are people too, all they're doing is sharing their beliefs and the Lord's blessing with your children in school. What's the harm in that? You should feel blessed that our great country allows, nay, encourages people to spread the word of god. After all, our founding fathers were christian, it just goes to show you that christ has a strong role in the life of our nation. Telling me that your children should not be indoctrinated at a young age by teachers, why, you're robbing them of the blessings of the lord. Do you really want your children to grow up with an empty feeling in their soul where Jesus lives? Or do you love your children enough to allow their teachers to save their souls?
It always starts small, but that doesn't change where things go. It's a slippery slope, and since you're a christian, you don't see the same threat that I do. In fact, I suspect that you might tacitly approve of in-school indoctrination of christianity because you privately think that everyone SHOULD follow your religion. I'll go as far as to suggest that you are not seperating your beliefs from the issue at hand.
If the item in question was the posting of laws from the Quran, eg, a list that says things to the effect of 'no woman may show her face in public' or 'there is no god but allah' or some of the harder core stuff the various mullah's enforce in some countries, would you be as accepting?
