Larry, you are quoting the Declaration of Independence, which is no law of the US government. While the sentiments that are revealed in that document are important, they (especially the *religious* portions) are just an opinion. Please do not confuse the religion of our founding fathers, with the logic which led them to create the government they did. Amazingly enough, *they* were wise enough to see that attributing a government to a god, is the easiest way to encourage tyranny. I also fail to see why you insist on protheletizing (sp?) in a group as far away from the subject as net.singles. Please keep these type of articles in net.relegion where they belong. > ....... the particular views of an art teacher, or > the political views of a history teacher - private views DO influence the > way a subject is taught and the values implicit in the teaching. The > attitudes that affect the private life also affect the public one. Homosexuality is something imprinted near birth (first year). This has been proven through scientific inquiry, and luckily the bible does not say anything about the matter -- so you are free to look the evidence without predjudice. There is *no way* that a Homosexual teacher is going to encourage a change in the innate sexuality of a student. Steven Maurer
