I think you've misread the statement he made. He didn't say "I think Christianity should be taught in schools". He said, and I quote:So you want Christianity taught, what make YOUR religion so special. Why not teach Atheism then too, or Voodoo, or Buddhism. Those are all perfectly valid religions as well, what makes Christianity any more important to teach in schools. I'm sure Muslim parents don't want their learning verses from the bible any more than you would want your kids reading from the Koran. Remember just like Christianity there's no proof AGAINST any of these religions right? So why shouldn't they be taught in schools?
Or, if you'll allow me to clean it up so as to make his point more salient, "The reason I want ID taught in schools has nothing to do with wanting to teach all of the children about Christianity". If you read the whole sentence, it is evident that he's saying he DOESN'T advocate teaching about Christianity in all schools. What he is saying is that he advocates the teaching of Intelligent Design because it is, technically, not possible to disprove at this point in time.J-Dude said:I don't want ID taught in schools because I want to teach all the children Christianity, I want to see it taught because higher beings have NOT been ruled out, and shouldn't be, no matter how much high figures and science try to say otherwise.
I'm not aiming this comment at tolore, but at everyone intending to address J-Dude's comments: please be certain that you understand his entire opinion before you begin to make your own point. What tolore did is a good example of what happens when you take a sentence (read: sentence fragment) completely out of context. Try not to let it happen again, as it, simply put, isn't fair to the person you're trying to rebut.
