I reject this Christian view. Also, there Christianity is suspect when it comes to having a more open view of religion. <BR/><BR/>Many years ago, I took "Philosophy of Religion" and "Bible as Literature" at Pasadena City College. These two classes were outstanding. And, they made me think about a lot of ideas I had never given much thought to. Gosh, that was a long time ago. Pasadena City College has sure grown over the years. <BR/><BR/>Belonging to a large liberal Christian church is refreshing, because inclusiveness is vital and an essential component of what it means to be an American.<BR/><BR/>American ideals are based on a special inclusiveness, while at the same time promoting a unity of purpose. Americanism and democracy are difficult sometimes. All points of view must be allowed. <BR/><BR/>The First Admendment insures the freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Conflicts of ideas can be hurtfull, but it is necessary to insure that freedom of thought is saved. My my, saved from ourselves indeed. And, saved maybe in a theological sense. <BR/><BR/>Another tidbit, I heard Billy Graham speak when I was a teenager many years ago. He was one of the most profound speakers I had ever heard. He captured my spiritual nature. His book titled "Angels, God's Special Agents" is still one of the most intreging book I have ever read. <BR/><BR/>Good golly, I really got carried away on this topic. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12011933.post-1125537189884857572005-08-31T18:13:00.000-07:002005-08-31T18:13:00.000-07:00While teaching creation in the classroom may not b...<I>While teaching creation in the classroom may not be wise, being hostile to religion, especially Christianity, is also not wise.</I><BR/><BR/>I absolutely agree. In fact I firmly believe that study of, at least, the world's major religions should be part of any well rounded education. <BR/><BR/>However I suspect a course in comparative religions would not satisfy the Christan right's apparent desire, which seems to be much more about proselytization than anything else.Citizen Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970892810387818891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12011933.post-1125426740456798272005-08-30T11:32:00.000-07:002005-08-30T11:32:00.000-07:00Evolution.
