[quote="Aero_Hudson":1wntw2u7]Here we go again with the liberal is the same as unchristian crap being thrown around. That really gets my goat. Big time!
My kids attend public schools and have had a great experience. The values that their mother and I have bestowed upon them have remained intact even though the "evil, liberal, unchristian school" has gotten their hands onto them.
A good school does not teach "values". That's my job. A good school stays away from religion and morals and ethics and teaches them subjects like Math, Chemistry, History, etc.
Just my two cents.
So you think, as a Christian, telling Children, as young as 12, to just use a condom to have sex is acceptable? How about those homosexual feelings are "OK" because some people are just "born that way". How about joining wonderful school clubs that cater to gay and lesbians, Wicca, or atheists? How about teaching evolution and we evolved from monkeys? I can go on and on. All of this is the liberal, post modern garbage that a secular school teaches.
Where do you think rebellion comes from when kids are told all day long by teachers, who are people in positions of authority, that all the things I mention above are OK when as a Christian you know they are wrong?
That is what our secular post modern schools are teaching. And as much as you might want to protest, it's the liberal position that's destroying the morality of this country and rotting our churchs with false and perverted doctrine.
Secular humanist liberal values of public schools and Christianity are incompatible.[/quote:1wntw2u7]
Evolution does not directly state that we came from monkeys, and contrary to popular belief Darwin did not come up with the idea of evolution, he came up with natural selection (according to my college biology textbook and many other instructors that I've had). Darwin never said that we came from monkeys, but we share a common ancestor, which isn't necessarily an ape. In the science forum with the missing link thread, many of the "links" mentioned, aren't really human, like Lucy. Lucy (and many other ancient human/ape remains) is a hominid, and hominids can be human, but also can be ape, hominids are what some people refer to as simply, the stages of evolution before Homo sapiens (what we are). And believing in evolution doesn't mean you're not Christian, it just means you have varied views on the faith (and there are many of those, some so extreme that say no female will go into heaven). I think you should let your kid go through public school, it gives a different view than what the Bible teaches, and some things in the Bible really can't be practiced legally today (like stoning disobedient children). And not everything in the Bible now is believed, or is actually forgotten. But forcing your kid through Bible schools might not give him/her the best education, what I think is, if you have to have your kid go through religious school, start with k-8 and then let you son/daughter chose because by then they should be old enough to make at least some of their own choices in life.
I know my opinion may not be a popular one, but it's my own.
