Is this institutionalized child abuse by religion?

I agree.

Where to you think the law is in all this and why they are not acting to protect our young?

Is religion stronger than the law of the land against hate speech ?

By the way, Carl Baugh is a two-bit phony.


http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/degrees.html

Quote:The specific science degrees claimed by Baugh (or attributed to him) have varied somewhat from account to account[11,12,13,14]. In recent years Baugh has claimed a "Masters Degree in Archaeology from Pacific College" and a "Doctor of Philosophy Degree in
from College of Advanced Education."[15]

Baugh gave the location of the College of Advanced Education (CAE) as Irving, Texas; however, the Chamber of Commerce, and Department of Taxation, and phone directory in Irving have no record of the school.[16] When pressed by an assistant for the address of CAE, Baugh gave it as "2355 West Pioneer, Irving, TX, 75061" and indicated that its dean was Dr. Don Davis.[17]. The address appears on a small house in Irving, located next to Sherwood Baptist Church, whose pastor is Rev. Don Davis. Davis indicated that CAE is a "missions" school, with no science classes or facilities.[18] The school is not accredited by any national or regional agency, nor certified by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (which must be obtained to legally grant degrees in Texas). In fact, none of the educational organizations that I contacted had ever heard of the school.[19]
Quote:Good enough for creationist morons but certainly unworthy of consideration by normal people as anything other than a con artist.

It is a con game for sure.

Does government have a role to play our young being indoctrinated in false science?

The I D trial says that they do for schools but what of the false information fed to our children out of school?

And they have access to all of our children directly and indirectly through religious institution.

Does government have a role to play here?

Because obedience to authority has never done anybody any harm... except in Nazi Germany... and My Lai... and Abu Gharib... and Jim Crow... and... come to think of it, maybe forcing obedience on children isn't necessarily a good idea.

It is a damned good idea if you want a nation of slaves.

Imagine a world where a Rosa Parks just obeyed.

I was brought up in a hardcore catholic household, and I never really remembered the concepts. I just remembers the words to prayers, the 10 commandments, the sacraments, the holy days of obligation and other facts. Never really understood the meaning.

Children shouldn't be taught religion by force. Let the children decide if they want to believe, children should not be told they have to believe a a certain way..

It's a shame these days.

Is there a role for governments?
