Take the opportunity to help little godless children to see Jesus on pagan, evil Halloween by giving them little Bibles instead of teeth rotting candy?
My kid will be indoctrinated with evolution against my will while being denied the other side's POV, so why can't I indoctrinate other kids, right?

Schools do not indoctrinate evolution into the children. Any school that I have been to that has discussed evolution has stated the premise and then made sure to be very clear that everyone should believe what they want and should be sure to look critically at all ways of viewing things and chose what they feel is the best explanation for them.
Handing out bibles at halloween? Please don't do that. Children are out on Halloween to have fun and get some candy. If you and your family disagree with this holiday for whatever reason then turn your front lights off and feel free to not participate but there is no need to push your views on other people's children during a holiday that in today's day and age has absolutely nothing to do with religion.

Excuse me but I am a "real American" Just because I dont base my life on a little tiny fictional book found in a desert doesn't mean that anyone has the right to say I am not a real American. Secondly Halloween is not an evil holiday.... no one better come near my children with their religious BS.. my children are my children to raise how I see fit not society's or some bible thumping nut case.

what's a real american? I think it's cool for you hand out bibles, seeing as most of them will end up in closets and drawers... at least some of them might read them as they get older :)
indoctrinated? isn't evolution a science? so i'm assuming you don't want you kid indoctrinated with the evil of mathematics right?

I am a REAL AMERICAN! I am an ex-christian atheist that realized the stupidity of the bible. In your eyes, what makes a real american? If your answer is god, that is not what our founding fathers thought:
"I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth." - Thomas Jefferson
"The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." - John Adams
"The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. Nowhere in the Gospels do we find a precept for Creeds, Confessions, Oaths, Doctrines, and whole carloads of other foolish trumpery that we find in Christianity." - John Adams
Lighthouses are more helpful than churches." - Ben Franklin
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." - Ben Franklin

If you want to teach your child creationalism, you certainly have that right. It is to be taught in the home and church.
In public schools, they educate, not indoctrinate.
Sure, go ahead and give out your little bibles....whatever floats your boat. They will be the first thing in the trashcan when the kid gets home.
Halloween is for TREATS, not religious nonsense.
If you can't get into the spirit of the evening, do everyone a favor by keeping your front porch light out and your door closed.

If nobody asked for your "indoctrination" it is wrong for you to force it to someone. That's unChristian-like conduct.
If you don't believe in the "indoctrination of Evolution", then pull your kids out of that class. Since you choose to enroll them in that school and agreed that they take those classes, you asked the school to indoctrinate your kids with Evolution.
Those kids who knocks on your door expecting candies didn't asked to be indoctrinated with your pathetic views on Christianity.

Who do you consider to be a "real" American, is that something like a "TRUE" Christian?
No one on this planet is 'godless' all were created by God, perhaps if you spent more time indoctrinating yourself with your own faith instead of pushing it on others you would actually follow the teachings of Christ.

I really really would like your definition of "REAL Americans"
(And unreal ones, for that matter)
If you believe in all POV getting fair time, though, I hope you've made room for Moloch at some point in your indoctrination schedule.

This is a free country. No one would be able to stop you from speading the truth. Don't get discouraged, some seeds land on fertile ground while others may fall on rocks or weeds. All you can do is spread the seeds.

You show up at my door trying to brainwash my kids and you'd be seeing the barrel of my gun up close and personal. And what makes a person a REAL American? I am an American. I was born here as were many generations of my family dating back to the 1700's.
