Who makes the decision you ask...the Constitution and the SCOTUS. Yes there are those Christians here. You are one, Bill would be another. I could name a few more but you two are in the lead when it comes to wanting to change our country into a theocracy. You would have us teach Creationism right along side real science in our public schools. You see nothing wrong with what these officials want to do in Bay Minette. Even though what they are doing is against our Nations Constitution and our State Constitution as well.

I can't speak for Bill but you Judge wrongly.  It may be your opinion but you are wrong and I submit form much of your opinion, regarding me, out of a bias/prejudiced against Christians who are vocal and defend our faith.

 

Absolutely and equivalently FALSE!  I do not want, desire, or condone a theocracy.  I have said and suggest this nation was formed as a Nation OF Christians and not a Christian Nation, there is a difference.  That you and other atheist owe your freedoms and right to be atheist and speak up to many Christians who helped form and write the Constitution to protect against a theocracy which they knew too well that their land in Europe had become.  So you  WRONGLY Judge me on that count and will never find a place that I have advocated making this country a theocracy or saying it should have been.

 

On this point you are 100% correct but not teaching a particular doctrinal stance but rather teaching that many people, throughout history and today, believe that life came from a deity or Creator that some people call God others Allah but that it came from a Being that was intelligent and all powerful by a process that science has yet to comprehend and understand and that many others believe life came from an intelligent source and was not an accident as evolution teaches it was.  Creation should be taught just as that.  Not specifying any particular denomination such as Catholic, Baptist, Methodist but that there are many (a very great many) who now and historically believe other than Evolution.  That Evolution is not universally accepted.  Many would eliminate all other possibilities other than their own belief or theory and by doing that give some legitimacy that cannot be debated against or confronted as potentially false.  There is NO CHOICE allowed among students they are instead force fed one theory only, using wrongly, the first amendment in order to legislate from the Judicial.


As for the Judge in Bay Minette I do not believe he violated the First Amendment or any state Constitution as he provided CHOICES for the guilty.  He didn't provide an alternate choice to Jail for Jail would be the normal and DEFAULT choice but he provided an alternate choice to Jail being Church at the convicted's choice denomination..   He didn't assign a specific Church.  He was a locally appointed or elected judge and it's up to the local folks there to decide if they agree with that without everyone else that is offended jumping in with their own pet biases.
