I Have Proof the the Christian God Does Not and Cannot Eist

[Kingpin]

Great question.  Even though I am a creationist, I am NOT a proponent of creationism in schools as it's wanting to be presented.  Personally, things such as creationism should be left in the elective courses such as World Religions.  There are numerous theories on origins such that one cannot be presented as fact, but there are facts that we can use to deduce our own conclusions.  

When it comes to the World Religions courses, I'm in total agreement with you there, and I might even go a step further than you.  I don't think comparative religion courses should even be electives; I think their relevance and importance in the modern world is so great that they should be required courses (but that's just my personal hobby horse  )  So just to clarify, you want the creationist viewpoint to be presented in schools, but not in a science or history class as a fact, but in a more theology/philosophy area, along with other religious viewpoints?  That's something I can totally get behind.

As far as myself, my understanding is more of a culmination of all three, but the word faith not as we define it today, but more from it's Greek origins (pistis).  Most people on here know this is my stance and that I am an advocate for freedom of speech and religion.  I believe that if the government allows Christians to hold prayer vigils, setup booths, etc, then at the same token ANY belief system should be afforded that same right.  I have no business forcing my beliefs on anyone.  However when I am asked what I believe I will not shy away from what I hold true.  Nor should anyone.  I am no different than any other person and as such have no right to judge anyone.  

 Well, apart from the faith thing (obviously), I'm in complete agreement with you here.

Yes creationism should be taught in the religions/philosophy classes.  So should the concept of moksha.  People know more about the origins/stories of Zeus/Ares/Athena than they do the religions that shape cultures around the world.  It is important for people to understand the varied religions/prevailing thoughts that inspired and continue to shape cultures and even laws around the world.
