I'm in full support of this new curricula. Give them it. I've one caveat, though -- this post's title is a bit off, as teaching "there is no evidence God exists" is _not_ the same as teaching "there's no God". The latter is a logical conclusion of the former, for sure, but they are not the same. That's an area where too many religious people get us wrong, and where they come up with so many incorrect things about us -- similar to Bill O'Reilly's version of "thinking". They assume that when we say "god evidence = 0", that we're saying "god doesn't exist", which really gets their panties in a wad (though "zero evidence" should, as well, I'll admit), but basic logic fails them there. It's a similar case to "I don't believe in god" vs. "I believe god doesn't exist". That's all. I needed to rant, as I've watched the lunacy of the aforementioned (s)pinhead too much as of late. -BC- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Memphis Freethought Alliance" group.
