Separation of Church and State gets confusing in France

They don't overlap, it's just the Catholic Church realizing how pathetic and untrue the "theory" of Creationism is. If you believe in the lie of Creationism, then you should bow your head in shame. regards,

Dogmatic to the core. It's odd how intolerant of other religions atheists are. It's almost...Islamic in nature.

It's the indoctrination of children, (and adults), by individuals in positions of power using absolutism that causes a problem for me as an atheist. IMHO, people should learn to use the mental faculties they have to the best of their ability and to use their own knowledge, judgement and experience to form opinions based on available evidence.
And, of course, there is absolutely no possibility of indoctrination of children by the state using science to promote its own agenda. :rolleyes:
Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

AFAIK, the only agenda being promoted by the state is to join the armed forces to help pay for college. If you have additional examples, please list them.

Athiesm is not a religion you should look it up.

I'd say Islam and Christianity have far more in common (e.g. people believing a load of crap) than Athiesm does with any religion. regards,

Yup. Totally Islamic in nature.

As I predicted two posts above, you're suddenly abandoning the concept of separation of church and state for argumentative convenience. It's not simply an argument of science, but also of church doctrine, which cannot be taught in schools regardless of whether its in or out of a science class. In this case we have overlapping church doctrine and atheist dogma. The fact that you no longer invoke separation of church and state is illustrative of the fact that your beliefs are, in fact, dogma of its own breed.

A bit like Christianity abandoning sound scientific reason for a load of indoctrinated creationist crap. I love creationists, they are soooo funny with their funny little notions.

I have nothing against a Bible (or any holy book) entering a public school, it just mustn't be used as source in the Science class.

You are trying to stir debate where there is none. If two (or more) religious groups are pushing their own agendas in the school, the answer is simple: ignore them all and do whatever is best for the kids, which would be to teach science in a science classroom.

I'm very tolerant of most faiths, and I accept the meaning of the word faith over knowledge. You and every other religious person are most welcome to believe anything you want, and to teach that faith to interested parties[1], but you are not welcome to teach your belief as fact. [1] Cue conspiracy argument about the minds of interested parties being killed off by the commie atheist lefties.

That argument doesn't hold up. Intelligent design is nowhere in the Bible and actually contradicts it.

I completely expect there to be no debate from atheists because evolution is consistent with your dogma and therefore any religion that endorses it is supporting a dogma to which you don't object. But that's exactly the problem. Separation of church and state, which is what is invoked in order to keep theism out of public schools, demands that there is a debate. The fact that there isn't simply demonstrates that atheists are interested in pushing their dogma by using "separation of church and state" as a political tool. In fact, their use of it is contradictory to that concept as it seeks to establish atheism as the state religion.

No I'm not. Separation of church and state is still alive and well. When it comes to public school curriculum, the students should be taught science, without regard to whether religious groups have chosen to embrace all or parts of it. So the church remains separate from the state. The church can believe whatever it deems convenient; the state doesn't care.

Evolution, abortion, homosexuality, race,gender,global warming pick a topic. The government uses science to promote a state sanctioned belief system on virtually every issue you could mention.

No, we know what we know, and we know what we don't know. We just don't teach what we know we don't know.
