I was so disgusted the other day. I printed out some information w/ coloring sheets and such on the cycle of water ie: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection.
And at the beginning there's a paragraph talking about water being around since the beginning of time and they say - the water the first fish WALKED OUT OF!!! , the pond the dinosaur drank from etc....
I was just so thankful at that moment, that I was doing the teaching, and could substitute the water God made at creation etc...... but man, they start indoctrinating them in Kindergarten!!! Just one more thing to emphasize we're doing the right thing in keeping them home.

"I was so disgusted the other day."
Congrats! So was I, and more than once, too.
"I printed out some information w/ coloring sheets and such on the cycle of water ie: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection.

Ooh, I can see the problems. Truly, water has not been around since the beginning of time and those fish probably didn't walk out of the water, they probably flopped or dragged themselves out.
"the pond the dinosaur drank from etc...."
What? Are you claiming the dinosaurs didn't drink water?
"I was just so thankful at that moment, that I was doing the teaching, and could substitute the water God made at creation etc......"
Before you started teaching such things, did you prove that God exists and that God actually created water... or anything at all?
"but man, they start indoctrinating them in Kindergarten!!!"
When one is teaching facts it's called education, not indoctrination.
"Just one more thing to emphasize we're doing the right thing in keeping them home."
Yes, certainly your protecting children from facts will serve them well in their adulthood. Dipshit.
I was just so thankful at that moment, that I was doing the teaching, and could substitute the water God made at creation etc...... but man, they start indoctrinating them in Kindergarten!!! Mirror, mirror...
'Upon indoctrinating the kids, I discovered a case of what I perceive to be indoctrination! The horror!'
It disgusts me not that they think education of facts to be indoctrination, but that they pretend it's the process of indoctrination they hate - when mythological nonsense would be virtually nonexistent without it.
Indoctrination of what?, of the fact that snakes don´t speak?, of the fact that that theory is based in solid evidence?, and as far as I´m concerned ALL children are indoctrinated since.........ever, not just kindergarten. What´s now the problem?, that indoctrination is bad if it´s not yours?
Yes, they (as opposed to you, of course) certainly do start indoctrinating kids in kindergarten, but from there it gets even worse. Did you know that sick-ular schools teach that insects have a Biblically incorrect number of legs?
I'm all for kids that young being taught the Bible version instead. It's easier to understand and more colourful. It's probably more engaging to small children to help them develop their language / creativity / numeracy skills. I'm no educational expert, but I'd say at that age, whether it's fact or not is irrelevant. It's not like it's being taught as science at that age.
That said, the same applies to the poster. Whether it's "fact" as you believe it or not is irrelevant.
Indoctrination? Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the biggest fucking lying indoctrinator of them all?
Yes, you most certainly are.
God knows we could do with one less Hovind.
Oh, wait, did I just say "God knows"?
Actually, it's your religion that claims waters been on Earth since the beginning of time (Earths creation anyway)
I think you're paraphrasing what you read to dumb it up. Since the subjest was the water cycle you could have simply removed that paragraph but, oh no, you had to get back at science
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
