Dear Dinesh,

What public highschools are assigning all these books on evolution???  I can easily see these showing up in college courses, but I can’t imagine that you’d be quite so concerned there.  I ask because those schools obviously have a very high academic bar and I’d like to send my kids there. 

When I was in high school, we spent perhaps a couple days on evolution at best, and I was in an advanced class.

I wonder, though…you never actually say that these quotes come from books in public high schools.  Just that these quotes exist in books that are assigned.  Are they assigned in biology classes?  Theology classes?  Private schools?  Public schools?  Colleges?  Adult Education classes?  Reading circles?

Of course these books rarely see it into the hands of ‘the children’.

But you must create fear or else you become irrelevant.

All my love,

Wow, I didn’t realize how horribly dangerous we were.

Now, while I think that Rob Sherman (if he’s who I think he is) is using his child, I agree with his cause.

I also think that anyone who finds their faith threatened by someone believing something else, or by someone rejecting that faith, then they really don’t have a very strong faith at all.

Interesting…Islam likes to say pretty much the same thing about people who don’t believe in Allah, or worse, those who leave Islam.  Leaving Islam, apparently, damages all muslims.

What is it about ‘people of faith’ that scares them so about people who don’t buy what they bought?

Oh, right…fantasies are pretty damn hard to maintain when someone keeps saying that its all make-believe.
