Just the opposite, in fact. It was used to justify the end of the infringements on the rights of black people.

Having said that I can't say that I am the best Christian around, but I do believe. I have no problem with Darwin, no problem with Creationism. After all, why could He have not used evolution as a tool? Then again, where did He come from? I know prayer works but is prayer a direct line to Him or is prayer just a way to keep me humble enough to listen to other people? Questions like this were why I was an atheist on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and an agnostic on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and on Sundays I worshipped football. My process of recovery from alcoholism saved me from that. I still pray and still believe that there are things more important than me. Poor Charles does not. That's a damned lonely feeling. Which may have much to do with his fall into madness. .-= Peter´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/shakeypetesshootinshack/~3/nNSvH2I7W5Q/acorn-and-workers-thats-loyalty.html" rel="nofollow">ACORN And The Workers, That's Loyalty</a> =-.

Sad, very sad. You've reminded me of a vaguely remembered debate principal which states that "one cannot prove a negative", which lead me to an even more hazy memory of a thesis statement along the lines of "science cannot prove that God does not exist, only that the jury is still out" ... sigh ... now I'm going to have to refresh my memory lol. So thanks for that lol.

I do not believe that religion should be banned from the public square. I'm also a science major and a Christian, and was taught both evolution and creationism, and never had a problem distinguishing that one was a scientific theory and the other was an article of faith. I'm not special, so I suspect that most kids are perfectly able to figure that out. At the same time, all I have to do is look at Islamic countries and see the mess that the entwining of religion and the state hath wrought. How do you walk that fine line? So, I have a question for you, and it's sincere. You said the following: "I do not have a problem with Christianity until it intrudes into government and education to appropriate the apparatus of the state to impose its dogmas as the law of the land . . . ." The Abolitionist movement, founded in Christianity, was essential to the abolition of slavery. We do not have slavery because it is immoral and it became anathema to the mores of the overwhelmingly Christian population. In other words, it imposed its religious dogmas on the laws of the land. So, where do you think we should draw the line? Recently discovered your blog via Stacy McCain’s.
