- Well, I have a positive negation (smile).
-
- Mr. Bales is by far one of the better contenders out of the
- Creationists who contribute here. He often gets his facts a
- little skewered, he often misdirects issues with round-house
- "straw-man" punches, and he ignores inconvieniant facts.
-
- Still, he's better than Ted, right? Right!
-
- Mr. Bales called the ACLU "against Creationism." I am a card-
- carrying supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and
- I took offense: he made a false assertion, and then used that
- assertion to back up other assertions. That's a dirty trick,
- and ACLU members were not here to defend themselves. The ACLU
- is very much the defenders of religious freedoms, and thus
- they are defenders of Creationism.
-
- Creationism, being a religion, does not belong in public school.
- It is -that- which the ACLU defends when it opposes Creationism
- in school and the "equal time" bullshit. For Creationism to be
- "taught" in schools is against MY RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS, because
- it indoctrinates my children into the Creationist cult against
- my will. Small wonder Creationists do not like the ACLU, even
- though the ACLU is is actively protecting their rights.
