Religion is the worst fucking thing to ever happen to humanity, it's a cancer that destroys everything and it is pathetic that grown men still believe in magic men in the sky in 2012

What do you want them to teach in schools, how god raped the virgin mary just like the priests raped children, The definition of a theory is "a collection of supported hypotheses generally accepted as fact" the only other things it can be called are law or hypothesis which don't fit. Like I said before religious people are pathetic and religion is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.

We'll keep science out of sunday school and christians keep sunday school of out science class. It's simple enough. Keep that nonsense, no evidence trash out of the classroom. Thanks.

Don't mess with Texas!  Don't attempt to reason with Texas! Don't mess with us teaching religious nonsense in Texas!

And now it's 2013 and they STILL believe it. How many more hundreds of years have to elapse before the human race breaks free of this stuff?

Yes, Hitler was a Christian. He says so in Mein Kampf and I have no reason to doubt him.

Atheism is a much of a religion as not collecting stams is a hobby. Get it?

Evolution is science. Science profits the whole of humanity. That's why people try to educate your retarded inbred creationist kind. Your beliefs are antiscientific.

Hitler's personal beliefs hardly matter since he didn't kill 4,000,000+ Jews on his own. His support base was overwhelmingly conservative catholic and, to a lesser extent, Lutheran. These were the people who made up the rank and file of the Nazi party, the German army, and the SS and who did the bulk of the killing in the name of ethnic purity, Nazi ascendancy, and Jesus' supremacy.

Lets put things into perspective. If Darwinian evolution is correct then Adam was never "created", and so there was never what you call original sin, and without original sin Jesus had no reason to be the son of god, and his death was not for anyone's sins. Fundamentalist Christians have a huge problem with this, and thus their agenda to is to discredit a scientific theory and deny all evidence before the public realizes it is all true. Atheism on the other hand is not related to the above.
