Oh, thank God. Now why didn't you answer the rest of my earlier post?

Anyway, just because they are a Christian group doesn't mean their agenda is bad. People see the word "Christian" affiliated with a group and freak out. I think, which I find rather obvious, is that FOTF is trying to instill morals in today's youth. Morality in our youth is little to none.

There is nothing wrong with getting a bunch of people and putting pressure on an organization to change. I don't really see what your beef is to begin with.

Well if it was up to me there would be no education system.

I dont agree with anybody controlling it.

I think people should choose to learn what they want to learn not have it forced open them.

Perhaps the morals they are trying to impose dont match the personal beliefs of people these days?

Thats one of the biggest problems with religion, they think everyone shares their moral code.

Fact is, most dont.

Because I didn't think once I saw your first few sentences that you bothered to read through the thread where I clarified several times my position and why I dislike and think FOTF are hypocrites. I never said they were wrong.

For the third time: They are forcing people to do as they wish, while at the same time being hypocrites for saying people should be allowed to teach their children or censor their children as they wish while taking away an adults own ability to choose what is right for them to watch or not.

They are hypocrites, going back on their own mentality that it should be your right, not the government or theirs to say what you do with yourself or family.

You maybe totally right, but the groups who disagree with FOTF have every right to try to change the system as well. The group with the most people wins. I think that's fair.

I'm not sure I get your logic, so slavery we all know was horrid. Do you think if the majority wanted it again that that would automatically be fair?

"The proportion of the [American] population that can be classified as Christian has declined from 86% in 1990 to 77% in 2001."


I love that site and referance it often. It shows how Christianity has been on a steady decline and I think another area shows how Islam is on the rise, or that could be another site they link to or cite sources from.


81% of American adults identify themselves with a specific


Yes but not everyone with those religions share the same values, many Christians do not agree with and oppose FOTF.

I don't think they are hypocritical at all. FOTF represents the people who align themselves with the organization. Those people want to be able to teach their kids their own personal values at home. Since most people who align themselves with FOTF are conservative, you can conclude that those people will teach their kids conservative values.

FOTF are advocates for the conservative cause. They attempt to censor TV because they are a conservative group. They advocate parents teaching their kids at home because the school system generally is not conservative and the parents who align themselves are conservative. They are serving a conservative agenda. I don't know why this is hard to understand or thought of as hypocrisy.

I've posted this reply to you twice when you asked this question. Go back to that reply and reply to me with a counter argument because I don't think you even addressed that post.
