If the education system taught people how to think rather than engaging in social engineering, they would be able to sort through the nonsense and find the truth. When schools treat Christianity the same as witchcraft and promotes tolerance of every idea under the sun, you've got a big problem.

"Teaching how to think" equals "24/7 indoctrination into my brand of Christianity," according to Frodo.
Also, I have known too many Wiccan and Pagan children and teenagers to believe that schools "treat Christianity the same as witchcraft."
No, no, YOU have a probelem, but it's with tolerance and acceptance. We don't have a problem with that, we tend to be moral and ethical, not hateful and bigoted like christians tend to be.
If the education system taught people how to think rather than engaging in social engineering,
Good idea,

If they promote "tolerance of every idea under the sun", how is that "social engineering"? What fundies want is social engineering: teach only Christian mythical nonsense, as opposed to every body else's mythical nonsense.
When you teach people to think, they usually abandon religion. That's why the lunatic fringe hate education.
"An it harm none, do what thou wilt."- the Wiccan Rede.
ZOMG Kids being non judgemental, :O.

Isn't that what you fucktards are doing to everything other than your particular flavour of Christianity? :P

so far so good

and u fuck up big time, had to be RR
Hold on, I thought instilling ideals of tolerance and the ability to decide for yourself is exactly what 'teaching kids how to think' is...
Then again, I could just be another ignorant atheist.
and promotes tolerance of every idea under the sun, you've got a big problem.
How dare the schools teach us to be tolerant to others. It's nothing like what Jesus would do. Wait a minute.
If the education system taught people how to think...
...churches would fold within 6 months and they would be rented out to horny, drug-addled teenagers for rave parties.
Christianity and Wicca are both religions. Christian prayer and witchcraft are both forms of folk magic.
Wait, what's the difference again? Oh - the individual beliefs.
With respect to my Wiccan friends here and elsewhere, please pardon me if I don't take the time to treat equally bullshit beliefs differently. Like all forms of bullshit, it's really a waste of time to classify by type what should equally be considered fertilizer.
And by the way, what's your problem with tolerance? Does the fact that you are Christian render you incapable of also being human?
If the education system taught people how to oppress rather than engaging in intelligent thought and civility, they would be able to ignore rational thought and Deny the truth.
You had better rethink that idea Frito. You fundies benefitted for four more years of your fundie Presidunce because the American people couldn't think, sort through nonsense, and find the truth. No way any thinking human being could vote for that incompetent liar and his war-profiteer henchmen after their first four years of wrecking this country if they thought before they voted. Besides, what would happen to GOPFOXNEWS, Worldnutdaily, and Rush Dimbulb if people could sort through nonsense and demand the truth?
Please state exactly how Christianity (healing by touching an apron or handkerchief, virgin birth, resurrection of the dead, talking snakes, talking burning bushes, salvation by belief) is different from witchcraft.
Christianity is *worse* than witchcraft and superstition, as it promotes violence, intolerance, misogyny, and outlandish punishments for trivial transgressions.

then you may have the start of a tolerant, educated society.
Except when we do sort through the nonsense and find the truth, you have tantrums and scream about how we're going to hell! Make up your mind, will ya?
What? That wasn't what you meant by "truth?"
More fodder for the Fundie Word Redefinition project: "truth"
You see, the schools must, by mandate of Law, treat ALL religions the same. From X-tians to Wiccans.
Religious tolerance = not frodo
From the outside, any differences between Christianity and witchcraft are trivial. You've got to do the right things in the right order, and you've got to say the right spells when you do it.
I don't think witches tithe, though...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
