I found this on Yahoo.

Thanks for proving our point!

To those 'christians' who are slamming the 'Catholics':

Thank you for demonstrating how important it is to have a separation between church and state.

You see, your posts demonstrate something that us agnostics and atheists have been saying for a long time - if you got christianity into the public school systems, YOU'd be the first to regret it.

Mormoms would freak when a Catholic teaches their religion.
Lutherans would freak when a Baptist teaches their religion.
Witnesses would freak when a Methodist teaches their religion.

etc, etc.

Just like you are doing on this board, christianity in public schools would cause all your different Christian sects to turn on each other in a fight for supremecy. And fights between two religions tend to be MUCH worse than fights between religion and secularism.

in many ways, christians of all sects owe the agnostics and atheists for this: we provide you a "common enemy," a sort of political buffer zone that keeps you from fighting each other.

you can blame us for that "evil" separation of church and state, which seems to protect you more than anything - it keeps you from destroying each other.

Thank you for demonstrating why government involvment in religion (and vice versa) would be stupid!
