[font=Arial]Hello everyone. I used to post a lot on Atheist Nation Forums. For some reason the site has been down a while. Anyone here from Atheist Nation? I am a Theist, a Christian.
I'm also a well known activist in my community where our group led a continuous one year battle against our school district. This was a very bitter campaign that divided our community , nearly a 50/50 split. Our community is now a war zone. It will never recover. We campaigned on tax relief, and giving our community a voice in the decision policies of our school district. It seems our political powers believe voters aren't capable of making their own decisions. Therefore they think that it's in our best interest if they make our decisions for us.
There were four attempts within a year at passing a levy. In order to finally pass the levy, our school board members eliminated all High School busing and after school sports and extra cirriculars. Our school district saw nothing unethical in holding children hostage to extort votes from the community. This whole campaign turned family members against one another, Democrats and Republicans allied themselves against other Democrats and Republicans who were on the opposing side of the issue, neighbors who were once long time friends no longer speak to each other. We will soon be leading a boycott against the businesses that financially supported the pro levy extortion campaign. After creating this mess our school district will distance themselves and leave others to clean up their mess. This was a hard fought bitter campaign that made national headlines. There are still many heated confrontations, which will eventually turn violent. Even after the vote we are still engaged in conflict with the other side.

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
