[B]In terms of Mr 5.0's faith, it's what he believes. Kansas believes it too, since they banned the most widely accepted scientific theory of evolution from their schools. Apparently, the knowledge we have aquired is more influential than the teachings of an old and outdated religious affiliation. That being said, the teachings of the Christian faith more than likely influence every decision you make as an adult American, regardless of whether you believe in the faith. Simply put, Christianity is the basis for almost all of our moral beliefs on what makes a "good person" good. To that, we obviously owe the religion quite a bit, but your analysis of the destruction and pain the very same entity has created as a direct result of the leaders' hypocrisy also contains great truth.

Actually, Kansas repealed that decision shortly after it was handed down. People took a look at the education vs. beliefs debate and realized they were absolutely ludicrous. Plus Kansans didn't appreciate being the brunt of the world's jokes (yes, everyone everywhere thinks that ruling was complete garbage because it means you can basically throw out your entire science program...god did it all and that's all you need to know. What a load of *****.). God may or may not be a myth, but it's wrong to do things in his/her/it's name. Some many people twist the meanings of the parables in the bible (yes, parables...if you take those stories as direct fact you're just a blithering idiot) into whatever they want it to mean. On the whole the bible is a compelling story, but it's antiquated. It's very anti-woman and in some cases anti-tolerance. Plus if you're a baptist and you read the KJV then you're reading the version that King James thought would be best, not necessarily the whole story. Simply put, the bible is just a novel written by men...I don't see god sitting at a typewritter and going "here...read this...it's good stuff". Be careful when putting your faith in things written by man because on the whole man is infinitely flawed.
