Electing people who accept evolution, leads to God's wrath?

    Pat Robertson recently stated this about a town who removed from power people who pushed the creation teachings, and elected people who accepted evolution. Does this appeal to religious people to feel this way? I know Witnesses would think this, but never actually say it to a public newspaper or media. I personally think that teaching creation in school, opens a can of worms. If you teach creation, you are teaching Christian religion. Although we have a Christian society, we also have a society that is constantly crying out in lawsuits "equal representation" and "political correctness." If you teach the Christian creation, you must teach the Buddhist, the Wicca, and the American Indian. Why? Because you opened the door to religion in the school and not all children in school are Christian. So for Pat Robertson to say these comments, shows the arrogant ignorance of several religious leaders. People do not want religion being knocked on their door on Saturday morning, any more so then they want it taught to their children. Not only that, which religious creation view will be taught. We above all others, should know that Christian sects have a serious distrust of one another and all would want to be the ones to teach the creation and not listen to the other.

    Does saying these comments bring on God's wrath too?

    i say go ahead and bring on god's wrath. we will not hold our breath waiting for it though. in the meantime, kids can get some real assistance in biology, and the implications of evolution on our society.

    Man I hope that Pat Robertson has the same effect on the legions of kids growing up in evangelical/fundy households as Teddy Jaracz is on the kids growing up in JW households --

    People who want creationism or intelligent design taught to their children in the school system should just pull they’re kids out and home school them. I certainly don’t want my tax dollar spent in that manner. Isn’t that what Sunday school is for?
