From a news article some years back.
Allowing it to be taught in free schools is one thing, and I already addressed that I was against it.
But saying a person should not be allowed to share their beliefs about creationism at all is taking it to a whoooole other level. Seems very extreme to me. What would the penalty be for someone who was caught talking about their belief in it?? This seems like the extreme atheism someone was talking about in another thread, and seems a lot more damaging to society than allowing people who believe in creationism to share their beliefs.
This is tiresome. It gets pushed into young vulnerable minds from various sources, churches, religious groups, internet (the infamous AIG), street corner preachers, door to door evangelists etc.
None of this should be allowed, it's damaging to society and encourages recycling of stupidity and should be made illegal whatever the source. Free speech is one thing, forcing fantasy and myths into minds and telling them it's true oversteps the line - it ruins a childs mind, often for life.
Call me extreme, militant, whatever you please. That's just how I am and I make my opinion clear, especially if this nonsense comes near my children (as I recently did at my daughters school).
