you are correct
Christian creation would have to be taught alongside all other creation stories and that is ridiculous.
Creation does NOT belong in the American classroom. What people do in other countries is their affair. Here, we have a separation of church and state, and liberty for all to believe as they wish. No kind of religion is to be fed to children in public schools. If people want religion in a classroom, they should send their children to a religious school, teach their children about God at home, or send them to Sunday school. It is an outrageous misconception that Christ would want himself pushed on anyone.
No creation in public schools, hollow or otherwise
A Christian.

for as long as there are Christians with the ability to think, there will be no religion of any kind taught in public schools. There are many such Christians, you just don't hear from them very often.
The thought of it is abhorrent.

kids need to be taught science for the sake of science and not as an alternative to religion.
The two are mutually exclusive, have nothing in common, and religion must stay out of the public classroom at all cost.

no creationist in his right mind would call creation science.
that's totally idiotic.

there are many people who don't understand many things, either for lack of interest, or for lack of intellect. It's a matter of priorities, perhaps. Too many Christians don't even understand what they say they believe, they just go along with whatever sounds good to them. Fatal error.

social animals, a need to belong, for reasons of safety, etc. But that does not mean that individuality is, must be, should be, surrendered. I do not identify with herd or pack.

Interesting what people will read into things that may be read into.
Much may be learned from the behavior of wolves. For instance, the practice of destroying a pup that does not conform to pack rules.
As for the icon? It is in honor of Redwolf, a War Chief of the Cherokee, and my father, brother, friend and chief.
And you really don't like spiders?

You see identification, I see a simple statement.
