Supreme Court deems "intelligent design" unconstitutional in public schools

[Oneironaut]

Perhaps this will be the final nail in the coffin of religious superstition in public schools? I certainly hope so.

Doubtful. As long as you have folks out there like Torog, people who without question believe in something that can not be seen, heard, felt, smelt or who's existance can not be proved by science, as long as there are people who have so little of value in their life that they desperately grasp on to something that offers them a better afterlife, as long as you have people who will condemn, even kill, others who do not share their unfounded beliefs, as long as these people exist, this debate will continue.

Morals... How can you have a corrupt, lying, cheating piece of shit like the American government teach morals? Morals are for the weak.

True enough, but in the long run reason wins out over superstition. I am aware of no recent witchcraft trials. Drug crimes not included, of course.

I'd rather see the study of all religions than none at all. I thought the purpose of school was to learn about different things and to get socialized with other types of people.

What should we ban from schools next?
Does that ring a bell?

Good point, but try teaching islam in school, you'll see Pat Robertson joining the ACLU. Which would be worth the price of admission, come to think of it.

Just watched a special tonight regarding religions. The only religion that would accept everyone was Buddhism. The rest either denied entry to heaven or there would at least be some serious issues to be addressed in the after life. Just in case....kind of hope the Buddists are the lucky winner! :thumbsup:

Isnt Buddhism one of the oldest religions in the world..
