The Pledge of Allegiance isn't allowed in public schools anymore? Since when is this? When I went to school in the US about 10 years ago, we were required to recite it every morning.

it is still allowed in schools, even though i think its gay.

Science is as real as math is.

science and evolution are real and religion is made up. /QUOTE]

That's funny, I thought evolution was a theory. A theory treated as a religion by orthodox scientists.
Not saying I disbelieve it, but I don't believe that macroevolution is empirically provable.

What is the difference between science and religion? Both require faith and physical proof.

The pledge can be said as long as the word god is removed from it.

Umm no, science requires no faith. Sure there are theories in science, but that's because they havent been proven yet. Once they're proven, it's not a theory anymore. You start out from the basic building blocks of math/science and build on this. If I don't believe some scientific "fact", I can go look it up and retrace how it was proven. I mean the whole reason you're even able to see this message on your screen is a testament to the scientific method.

Religion is purely based on blind faith.

Educational administraton is dominated by liberals. Liberals flock to higher education like flies to shit.

You are wrong. As a scientist I must have faith in my postulates or I can go no farther. Aristotle's time came up with the idea of the atom and of electrons. Yet no one could prove it. They lived on faith for thousands of yers until it was proven and even then only by inference.

What is the difference? Why must one be ignored while the other forced upon us? Why does the liberal mind fear the idea of god so much?

Scientists and others are threatened just as much by religion sometimes. But you don't hear of them clammering too often.

Why must I be forced to have tolerance?
Why must I be forced to have a relgion I may not want (science)
Why must I be forced t pc?

If we are continually forced into things we do not want our minds and spirit will never be truly free.

um, its alot more "empirically provable" than god.
