well, if (and this will never happen), govt allows/promotes teaching creationism in school, then what will you say about teaching islam in school? it seems that there exists a double standard already in this regard. you can bash christianity all you want, but leave islam or non-judeo-christian religions OUT of this. this latter argument i hear all the time from libs.
when i went to HS back in 80s we had a world cultures class. we studied islam, christianity, judiasm, taoism, confucianism, buddhism, hinduism, etc. it was a compare and contrast sort of thing. nobody 'won' because there is no 'winner'. it's just educating the student that these things are out there. to me, that's empowering to be honest and secular as long as one is not promoted over the others.
on the abortion thing, how come nobody seems to talk about preventive measures? how about not getting knocked up in the first place? this seems to infringe upon the 'free love' ideals of most liberals. Birth control and adoption are two strong methods to prevent killing a kid yet nobody talks about this. further, if a kid is in the third trimester, it is entirely possible to birth the kid and have it be viable, yet these late term abortions can still be carried out. is THAT disgusting to you? i think it should be. when i see a tadpole looking thing being aborted, you can argue that it's just a bunch of cells. but...when you see fingers toes, eyes, hair, etc - this is a kid. sorry, late term is way out of bounds for me.
