why is the atheist obsessed with the Bible

And to think of all the poor, misbegotten fools who love the works of Shakespeare and yet deny that Romeo ever existed. Because we are a minority that lives in a Christian dominated culture. If we lived in a Muslim dominated culture we would be talking about the Qur'an. If our legislative bodies were dominated by Hindus looking to force Hindu creationism into the science classroom we would be talking about the Hindu scriptures.As it stands now the anti-science creationists in this country take the Bible as their source material,, so we tend to focus on that one. When was the last time your Sunday worship was interrupted by atheists? Has this ever happened? Have atheist groups blocked entrance to your church or place of worship?What I suspect is that you have confused free practice with agreement. I have seen this often amongst outspoken christians. It appears that christians are not able to worship freely if someone on the other side of town disagrees with them. I find this attitude to be quite strange, but it exists nonetheless. Then your adamant rejection of evolution and an old earth proves that it is true. For the same reason that we force secular geometry and algebra on students. We are still waiting for you to go after algebra since x+y=1 makes no mention of a creator. Even worse, the calculations used to measure the volume of a sphere do not include the resurrection of the Christ.

It makes me wonder why Archie even asks questions if he doesn't want to hear the answers. In case Archie is still reading this thread, please know that I focus on ANY religious encroachment onto my civil liberties. It just so happens that in the country I LIVE IN it is christians who are doing the encroachment. This is why we tend to focus on the Bible in forums like these, becuase it is the source material that the encroachers use. You can lead a horse to water . . .It is not the function or purpose of science to talk about a creator or the resurrection. This includes biology, and the theories within biology such as the theory of evolution.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

Apologize for replying to same message twice. When I edit more than once it kicks me out for some reason. And this is why we have forums like this one.Public schools are secular by definition. They are required by law to give children a secular education. Public schools, as an extension of the government, do not have the right to indoctrinate children into religious beliefs, nor do they have the right to teach atheism.Let me say this again. The government does not have the right to indoctrinate children into a religion through the use of public funds. This, in no way, restricts you from using your own money to send your kids to a private school where no such restrictions are found. None of this prevents you from sending your kids to church, or giving them religious instruction at home. This restriction exists JUST FOR THE GOVERNMENT.It would seem that we need better civics classes in public schools as well.

False. If evolution is taught then science is taught. The same applies for every scientific theory taught in geology, chemistry, and physics class.If anything, you are only demonstrating your obsession with evolution.
