I was somewhat irritated by this thread being necroed until I got here.
The outrage is in plenty of other threads. I didn't call for outrage, by the way... but you know what, maybe I should have.
I made my points early on in the thread.
1) You can't be trying to force-feed the gospel to people.
2) You especially cannot use government to force-feed any religion.
Like I said if the shoe was on the other foot, and they forced your kids to go into an Islamic service- you know that's a gross violation of their rights and your rights as a parent as well. We obviously want other religions to respect the church and state division, and we want government to respect the church and state division... and it's hypocrisy when we make an exception for ourselves, and say "it's okay when I do it".
