Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

I know how the system is setup. You are not making any argument defending the current system, you are making an argument from authority. It is wrong to force people to pay for an education system that goes against the values God has given to people, and in a country that is 80% Christian, people have every right to challenge the way that the system is setup.

Are saying that you want 20% of the population to have beliefs that have no evidence for them, forced on them by an authoritarian government rather than have an education system that just relies on things that are true.

People can pollute their brains with all kind of crap outside of school if they like

It worked for you.

No, I want people to be able to choose where they go to school, not have beliefs forced on them.

If you read my entire post on the Word of God dichotomy, it offers the opportunity to any of you to explain the magical powers you use to fully distinguish and decode the Sorta-Kinda Word of God.

Good luck.

I use the method of scripture, tradition, reason and experience. It is not sorta kinda the word of God, it is the Word of God to specific people. The Holy Spirit also leads me and gives me visual images and teaches me. God shows me the way to interpret the Bible, and I also rely on Christian leaders, such as my Pastor who once in an airplane had a prophetic word for a man who was guilty of adultery and he walked up to the man and gave him a prophetic word telling him he had been caught in adultery. Then the man thanked him. I have received supernatural prophecies at that church many times, and other churches, and I follow their doctrinal views on scripture which use the method of scripture, tradition, reason and experience as well as are directly illuminated by the prophetic counsel of the Holy Spirit.
