I'm all for people believing, or not believing whatever they want about religion...it literally is what's guaranteed by our Constitution.

That being said...you can believe that Moses parted the Red Sea if you want to, but if you are in a science class and they ask "What's the best way to survey for geoduck in the south end of Puget Sound?" and you reply back "Jesus can walk out there on the water and have his Chosen People part the sea for you and you can count them", then you are going to get an F and fail the class...you don't get to say stuff like that and get a passing grade.

That's what this topic is about...letting Sky Fairy beliefs allow you to get school credit for intentionally being ignorant of easily verifiable facts...there's a reason why Trump "loves the poorly educated", and it's not a reason that's good for the US, or mankind.

Believe what you want, worship no gods, one god, or a dozen gods...but don't let that belief system tell you that 2+2=3, unless you are good with getting an F in math, or that thunder and lightning is caused by Thor fighting ice giants and expect to pass a basic climatology class in college.

This shitt is why we have "abstinence only" education being pushed for by the right wing whackos when it is scientifically proven to result in more teenage pregnancies, more STIs, and consequently higher abortion rates...logic plays no part in it, and that is not how this should work.

Fish on...
