<<Most of the believers I have known don't know, and don't care, what the particular church/temple/mosque they belong to actually teaches.>> My parents belonged, and I do too, to a strict Lutheran church. They teach grades 1 through 8 but I wound up in public school. My senior year of HS I was asked to be in a debate about evolution as I had done very well in Earth Science. I found out that I was debating against the school principal and head science teacher. I started out with all the steps in human evolution and was countered with a glass 1/2 full of orange juice theory. I went on to new species being formed at the time. Work of the devil. Then I got told I was arguing with the head of the science department and if he thought there was no evolution as they thought the Bible said I shouldn't argue. I came back with if that is what the Bible says then the Bible is wrong. Bad move. I'm still hated by every member of the church but they won't kick me out as I'm one of their biggest donors. I'd love to hear my eulogy.
