Here's a perfect example of the way in which Christianity is manipulated in the US to keep the masses ignorant and the Church machine well oiled:
Texas just fired their state director of science curriculum for ... wait for it ...
promoting science! Instead, she was supposed to remain 'officially neutral' with regard to the superstition of Intelligent Design (which is just plain old creationism to me) versus the testable hypotheses of Evolution. Yes, Texas wants its school children (and teachers, too, I suppose) to believe that witchcraft and science are one in the same, just two different opinions. (Well, to be fair, they don't want kids to know about the bad witchcraft like you find taught by those
evil Harry Potter books, but the
good kind like you find in the Bible.)

wacky Muslims up to now? Oops ... wrong religion.
