@Curdis and Fable

Just a comment

I dont know why the extreme religious ppl would be more funny or wrong than us.
For example, we live with the never-perfect Cientific Method. Cause the idea of the absolute can never come from the Method.
We live in an atempt to forgot our final fatality.

I think some are placing the principle of Freedom of expression of Religious Belief(of the childrens in the public school) in a to high position.
Principles are not absolute, actually, they are "egoist", one opose to other and the maximization of one mean the supression of all others.
