When studying the bible much of it is loosely translated but imho i think we should interpret what it means through our own minds and experiences. if a verse/comandment in the bible says "love thy neighbor", in my mind i see it as "love your fellow man no matter his cultural background" BUT many christians tell me i'm wrong and tell me it means love your fellow christian brothers and sisters. why would they say this? if studying means going by what the 'sheep' say then i want nothing to do with studying the bible.

Trying to make subjects like math or world/US history religious where religion doesn't even fit.

My parents sent me to religious schools until the middle of 10th grade, and even in elementary school, every single thing had a religious slant where one would not expect it to be at all. I can see where morning chapel once a week, Bible history every morning, creationism taught even though the books used taught evolutionism, or singing classes would make sense to include the religion. But adding it to the other subjects just never made sense to me even when I was attending there.

Is that an extreme case of religion being taught to kids or is it commonplace?

A servant opens the door and outside is a army, in large numbers waiting to attack. When the servant calls over another person to view the army, that person sees the army but also sees an army of angels with swords standing directly behind the first army of men...that person prays that the servant will be able to see the army of angels.

atheists: no christian is going to become any less godly and spiritual by you telling them god doesn't exist.

christians/theists: No matter how many scriptures you memorize it won't change an atheists life.

Now that we have that cleared up whose ready for St. Patricks day?!!

Seems only fair to me that if they can influence who runs things and what businesses do, they should no longer be consider private organizations with tax exemptions.They do more then this.Read this article to see "Why Taxation of Religion Matters" :
http://atheism.about.com/od/churchestaxexemptions/a/whyitmatters.htm

Isn't it about time religion pay for itself or get out of everything not in their own church?If you read the whole article you will see that religion SHOULD be taxed.

Really. If creationism should be taught in biology classes, shouldn't astrology be taught in astronomy classes?

Astrology is based on faith rather than science, as is creationism.

There is absolutely no scientific basis for either postulate, and both are in fact inconsistent with scientific observation and evidence, and thus refuted by science.

Almost every reputable scientist (without a personal or religious agenda) disparages both as mythology and/or pseudoscience.

Both claim to be "scientific" & legitimate "alternative" theories to those established by scientific study, observation, logic and deduction.

So if we're going teach creationism as science, shouldn't we give equal time to astrology? And alchemy, phrenology, personal auras, occultism, Christian Science, Scientology and occultism?

If not, why not? All are based on faith, refuted by science and rejected by the scientific community. So if one, then why not all?

Or are only Christian theories allowed?
