What is it about this that they do not understand?
 
They are re-writing history and teaching it in their homeschooling materials to the quiverful children...breeding a white christian army. They understand, they're just not American as they don't believe in a democracy or a multicultural country...out of many one is alien to them and they reject it. They want a theocracy...

I'd like to see some examples of the above.

I know many families who are more or less as Haiku described. They have 10+ children, home school them (because public schooling is evil), and program them with their fundamentalist bullshit.

There's always at least one child who doesn't go along with the bullshit, though, and proceeds to live a normal life.

Interesting anecdotal hearsay.

I agree with you, with exception to the "white army" bullshit. I spent a lot of time around fundamentalists before I rejected Christianity. They may be religious nuts, but they are not racist. I know many large, fundamentalist families who home school their children, but aren't racist - many of them aren't even white, or are of a mixed background.

You liberals amaze me. It isn't enough that these people are religious robots - you also have to make them out to be racist.

It's not hearsay, asswipe. It's been my personal experience. I made no claim as to whether that is universally true; rather, it has simply been my observation. I don't give two shits whether you take it or leave it.

You amaze me. You think the right to worship as you please equates to being "religious robots"?

That's what anecdotal hearsay is...observation. Inadmissible.

You asked for examples, I gave some. I could give a shit whether you consider it admissible or not.

I asked for examples. You gave opinions unsupported by corroborative facts. How do I know you aren't fabricating these "examples"?

Are you sane, according to these fundamentalists you claim to know?

Are you posting under the wrong account, troll? Did you forget to log in as "Conservative" today? Their beliefs are not rational, because they contradict physical evidence -- evidence accepted by 99.9% of natural scientists. They teach that the earth is 6,000 years old, reject common ancestry of all living things, and believe a flood covered the entire globe. There is zero evidence to support any of their claims; on the contrary, their claims are in complete contradiction to the findings of modern biology, geology, and cosmology. Does that seem sane to you?

I'm all for religious freedom. My parents are religious - most of my family and friends are religious. However, religious freedom also includes the right to examine, expose, criticize, or reject religious belief.

First of all, only a small isolated sect of Christians believe the earth is 6,000 years old. ANTI-Christians get a lot of undue mileage out of that one. However, for the sake of argument, what scientific evidence do you have, that proves things aren't much younger than they appear? Carbon dating has not always been an 'exact' science. Furthermore, where is your conclusive evidence we all evolved from a common ancestor? You wouldn't be engaging in a "religious faith" based on your beliefs in scientific theory, would you? As for the flood, they have conclusively determined there WAS a great flood in that region of the world, and since that was the only know region of the world at that time, it stands to reason they believed the whole world had flooded. I agree, their beliefs don't often correlate with scientific findings, but there are many explanations for this. Science has often been completely WRONG about things, does that negate science? Does that mean we can't believe it?

I've got one for you....

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

You can't say we have the freedom to worship, but what we fundamentally believe as a part of that worship, can't be expressed in our viewpoints. Religious people have the same exact right to advocate for what they believe in, just like everyone else. To deny them this right, is to deny them the freedom to exercise their religious beliefs.
