While I don't think this is a good ruling, I find it hard to feel outraged by it.  If the ruling prohibited parents from teaching their kids the Bible, liberals will nod and think of it as acceptable, and the media will mostly ignore it.

reading this idiotic strawman argument got me so pissed off. URGH!

Most liberals are Christians if you look at the stats. Since about 86% of America is Christian and it's obvious that not all of that 14% is liberal (KEmperor), it would obviously stand that most liberals are Christian.

Also, the Bible is believed in by tons of people, earning itself the title of the mainstream religion in the US. Meaning it should be protected in ways that a Pagan religion or some cook who calls himself god should not be.

there's a little thing called the First Amendment that doesn't agree.

Bull.

well I was incorrect, the 86% figure is that of peopel who have any type of religion. However, the total percentage of Christians in the US is 77%. That's a pretty overwhelming number, thus it would stand that most liberals are Christian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States#Religion

So if people ask me if I'm a socialist and I say "yes" then I'm a socialist?  Dear little boy, let us teach you one thing today: just because someone say they are something does not mean they are that something.  Actions speak louder than words.

no, but you'd be lying because you don't consider yourself a socialist and don't believe in socialism in any way.
