(BTW, I seriously doubt a preschooler is going to be indoctrinated with anything more than Veggie-Tales).

Be very careful with a statement like that. I’m being very serious when I ask…do you know who is behind and runs the Veggie-Tales franchise? If you don’t know, you better look into it real quick.

Hint: He’s a very well-known Televangelist and probably not too popular among regular readers of this site or of free-thinking individuals. (initials JF)

Nobody who has done even basic research on Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin (to name two key founding fathers) could reasonably call either of them Christian.

I don’t recall any references to Christian principles in the Constitution. It’s been a while since I went through ti, so I could be forgetting something key here, but the constitution is a framework of government and doesn’t really address principle values at all. It dictates how the government is to be formed, how it is to be operated, and the roles of its various parts. The Bill of Rights was added on later to make explicit what rights are not granted to the government, and what rights are guaranteed to the people- still no Christian principles.

There are no provisions against theft, murder, or bearing false wittiness in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, which are all principles that predate Christianity and even Judaism by thousands of years anyway.

You can say merry christmas to atheists, wiccans, naturists, or anyone, it’s not offensive or bothersome. It’s a secular holiday based upon religious and cultural history.

Saying this country was founded on christian principles is a little bit of a misnomer, it sounds like you are implying that these rights and morals we have didn’t exist before christianity. There is more on this, but you can look that up fro yourself if you really want to know what our founding principles are, if you don’t , you wouldn’t listen to me anyway.

Also, “…endowed by their creator”. Yes, it’s in there, but creator is never defined. I assume you are assuming it means the christian god, but it could mean Allah, Jehovah, any god or pantheon out of the many mythologies that people believe, fsm, primordial ooze, or just nature itself.

USA. not a christian nation.

At least in this instance, more like “Uptight Uninformed Mom . . .”

I send my kid to a religious school and they teach him religion. How dare they. Next we’ll see, I sent my kids to Vacation Bible School and they talked about the Bible and not vacations.

Here was the perfect opportunity to tell your kids why you accept the big bang for the origin of the universe and you complain about the teacher.

Bottom Line: If you have kids and can even be bothered to check out the curriculum, whether a private or public school, you have no business having kids.

P.S. I checked out online my local Lutheran church that offers Pre-K classes and guess what, they clearly state that religion is part of the curriculum. I never would have guessed that.
