Why don't Christians take a page from the ACLU book?

Because despite what some claim, people of faith don't try to silence everyone else the way those who reject all faith do, which is forcing their own beliefs (or lack of) on everyone in the very same manner they complain sharing ideas is forcing beliefs down their throats - seems a terribly weak position.

I personally have no issue with freedom and will fight shoulder to shoulder even with those with whom I disagree for their right to their own views, if for no other reason than to protect freedom and therefore my own. Those who wish to silence others have an issue with basic freedom and fail to see the slippery slope that they endorse out of their own weakness as being the same as the crusades and one that can just as easily turn around and bite them on their own backside.

"teaching evolution over creationism because it is a tenet of a recognized church--scientology."

Evolution deals with the body line. Scientology is about the spiritual side of man, not the body. Why would it teach something that isn't spiritual? (It doesn't)

Here's what Scientology actually is:

Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is a religion that offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature and one’s relationship to self, family, groups, Mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being.

Scientology addresses the spirit—not the body or mind—and believes that Man is far more than a product of his environment, or his genes.

Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these are:

Man is an immortal spiritual being.

His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.

His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.

Scientology further holds Man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself, his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.

Scientology is not a dogmatic religion in which one is asked to accept anything on faith alone. On the contrary, one discovers for oneself that the principles of Scientology are true by applying its principles and observing or experiencing the results.

The ultimate goal of Scientology is true spiritual enlightenment and freedom for all.

Was it your intention to put out misinformation or did you listen to hearsay and rumors and repeat them?

Radio Yerevan is easily splendid, (so is Ida Slapter for that be counted). even if, allow me take care of a few different issues that got here up, the right does no longer declare "possession" of Christianity, this is the right it is is still friendly to Christianity at an identical time as the left does no longer. at an identical time as ever any folks do fall on difficult instances, who is it who allows from their wallets? Conservatives, Liberals pick to assist with some one else's tax funds. you are able to learn it your self conservatives have consistently been extra in a position to supply to reasons and charity than liberals. everyone proscribing unfastened will these days are liberals, they were operating for some years now to silence the right, to stereotype conservative, and christians, and regrettably some who answer listen actual believe the stereotypes. actual, you will discover these stereotypes and so on who've labored against particular freedoms, even if the left traditionally, has been purely as responsible and is plenty extra so right now. Ask dissenting critiques at an identical time because it consists of being ostracized via the left, the left is threatened via Christian values because of the actuality these values are these responsible for freedom interior the 1st position. This u . s . is a 'secular' u . s . in preserving with the concept the u . s . may desire to no longer rule the Church or vice versa, yet that human beings may desire to no longer may desire to divorce themselves from their faith with the intention to be successful in lifestyles (it relatively is what the left is making an try to do).
