GSAS - one at a time:

"Why do Christians feel they have the right to tell people what to do."[?]

Everyone has the "right" to tell people what to do. Whether someone else listens is their responsibility. Because "Christians" are a numerical minority in most of the world, it is highly unlikely that "they" (whoever they are) are going to rule the world.

"-They want to stop teaching evolution so people don't actually question their beliefs."

The logic exhibited in the question is specious, at best, attempting to enjoin the reader from an answer by offering the questioner's only acceptable answer - this is the equivalent of the "Are you still beating your wife?" question. No answer would be acceptable to the question so it is invalid on its face. In response, one has to dissect the question to its fundamentals - flawed as they are: "They" want to stop teaching evolution . . . implies that all Christians want to stop teaching evolution. This is utter nonsense and implies that there are no Christians participating in various levels of academia in science or history fields. The more rational statement is that there are a number of vocal extremists that panic when secular education denigrates their established religion's views on creation and attempts to force their children to abandon those views.

"They want to censor all media." Again, a statement obviously based in someone's overt hostility toward a particular religious group and lacking a basis in reality.

Get some help before you act out.

Mr. K.
