Default Re: The rise of the fundamentalist right in America

This has been going on for some time, but it was documented better in Alexandra Pelosi's "Friends of God" film. That was scary, it shows the evangelicals telling their children that dinosaurs lived 3000 years ago, that evolution is a lie, etc.

I was raised Catholic, my wife was raised Baptist, and our kids go to Catholic schools. That being said, my kids have a very healthy grasp on what their religion means to them, because we have told them from the beginning to just be a good person because it's the right and human thing to do, not because your soul will be hurled into a fiery void of you don't. The kids in these videos seem to suffer from close-minded parenting. That's the scary part.
