Teach Our Children Well

With China, Japan, India and Europe leving the United States in their Science and Technology dust, Don McLeroy, chair of the Texas State Board of Education is on a crusade to drag our children into the 16th century.

Mr. McLeroy implied that

Scientists are “atheists.” Parents who want to teach their children about evolution are “monsters.” Pastors who support sound science are “morons.”

when he endorsed Robert Bowie Johnson’s book, Sowing Atheism: The National Academy of Sciences’ Sinister Scheme to Teach Our Children They’re Descended from Reptiles

Quotes from the Johnson’s book include:

The obvious problem here is that it is simply not possible to be a Christian in any meaningful sense of the word, and at the same time, embrace the tenets of atheistic evolution.

What kind of monster parents teach their children that they’re descended from rodents and reptiles?

What do these apostate morons celebrate at their Sunday services, the lies about humanity’s origins told by Moses, Jesus, and Paul?

Mr. McLeroy, let me quote from another book. The following is from the preface to my CATHOLIC Bible.

Literary Genres or Forms

It is very important to know what literary form a writer uses to convey his message. Is it a history, a poem, a figure of speech, a parable? If you don not know, you may misunderstand the writer’s message. That is why we must pay attention to the literary genres (forms) of the Bible. The following a just a few of them.

. . .

The Allegory: A figurative story with a veiled meaning. Read Genesis . . . for centuries these chapters have been misunderstood as inspired lessons in science. The Bible does not teach science; it teaches religious values. It uses these folktales to teach a lesson. Again, the point of the allegory (not the details) is God’s message to you.

Well Mr. McLeroy, do you believe the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the direct successor of Peter, the Holy See, are morons?

Mr. McLeroy, since you present yourself as an expert on the Bible, I would presume you have read Matthew 16:18:

And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church…

Are you a Roman Catholic?

If one preaches that Scripture must be read as literal then that same person must accept Papal Catholicism as the ONLY theology Jesus established on earth.

So, just who is the real apostate, moron?
