It doesn't include the French government forcing Muslim students to give up their religious attire, for instance. I happen to disagree with that law...so there. You probably meant Copernicus, though Galileo also had his run-ins with the Catholic Church. Well, no... I meant Galileo, who proved it scientifically with his telescope. We were talking about the limitations of science. By the way, did you know Copernicus was a firm believer in God and his sovereignty, even in a heliocentric universe? That fact is conveniently dropped by modern-day atheists who have agendas of their own. Good for him. You keep missing the point. I respect your beliefs and most atheists subscribe to many of the tenets of Christianity. I still think it belongs in your church and not in our schools...nor in government. Al

Al, Exactly...I don't care that anyone doesn't care what I believe in. Unlike folks like you, I want it that way. Funny, Al. Like I told Ted, I know what your definition of "imposing" is. It doesn't include the French government forcing Muslim students to give up their religious attire, for instance. That's how little you know me. I thought that was a stupid move on the part of Chirac.....to be honest, its very typical of the right.....starting trouble over the stupidest of things. I see wearing a headscarf the same as wearing a cross or a yamaka. That's a person's perogative and is part of freedom of religion. No, Chirac was very stupid to stir up that can of worms IMO. ted
