A Closeminded Nation (Score 1)

You know, I read all these comments and it gets me wondering. What happened to the diversity of our Nation? I mean, the United States was founded with the intent of providing Political AND Religious freedoms to it's citizens. But as time goes on all I see is the exact opposite.

Everyone harps on the current government party as being ignorant, and blames them for our War over seas. Apparently our current government is inept, and articles like this, it would seem, aim to point out this fact as much as possible. However what everyone overlooks is the fact that we have been at a political civil war ourselves for decades. We ourselves have been at an anti-religious war for decades as well.

Our school system is the front for much of this war. A war where minority rule is the dogma of the times. If anyone speaks out agains Evolution being taught in our schools they are branded a religious zealot and waved to the side. But if anyone speaks out against Religion being taught in our schools they are branded to be the voice of the people and given every bit of attention they could desire.

I hate to break it to you, but Evolution, however you look at it, is not a majority voice. I completely agree that evolutionary science is invaluable. I completely agree that it should not be thrown to the wayside. I do however know that the majority of this country is religious, all different flavors of religion, and they are force fed Evolution with every mouthful of "Education" they get from our school system. I just cannot sympathize with articles like this one when most of our scientific community obviously garners some deep seeded hatred for religious belief systems. Most notably a hatred of Christian belief systems.

Now to be quite fair, the Christian community has done quite enough to alienate the Scientific community. They are just as close minded as the Evolutionists when it comes to acceptance of the other's belief system. And amidst it all the political arrows fly all the more between the political parties, and people wonder why the other countries of the world deem America to be an inept political entity.

All this just goes to say, look at the root cause of the strife before pointing fingers. I would bet good money that we find ourselves to be the reason so many things fail, not the political puppets we ourselves put into power.
