Thank you for a reasoned response. Genuinely appreciated.

Of course if a true theocracy came to be that would be problematic, but the odds of such a thing happening in the US are so slim as to be negligible. I can't imagine a scenario under which this would happen, short of every political candidate in the country becoming a religious zealot overnight. It's more than likely I'm missing something far more obvious here - forgive me, as a foreigner we don't get taught fully how the US government is structured; because why would we?

While I understand the analogy to Hitler, I'm not certain it would necessarily apply in this case - while it would take a brick by brick approach as you mention, the steps along the way that would need to occur for a true theocracy to come to be don't seem possible given the current methods under which the US is run. Barring a few executive orders, aren't all the steps you mentioned ones that (hypothetically speaking, had they taken place in the US rather than Germany) would have required a democratic vote to enact?  

The part you mention about your daughter is exceptionally troubling. Ignoring the bullying aspect for one second (which is not to diminish it even slightly, please don't get me wrong), the idea that creationism should be taught in a science class renders me struggling to find words. I'm... disgusted? Offended? Teaching it as part of a religious studies class would be one thing, but to present it as fact is truly abhorrent. You genuinely have my sympathy and I sincerely hope that your legal efforts bear fruit. I would love to hear an update on your progress in this regard, if you wouldn't mind sharing when the time is right. Please do not feel obligated to do so, obviously.

As for the bible being taught in schools, I would find it hard to believe that even the most overbearing and zealous of schools would teach the passages you mentioned, but obviously that's not the point of your mentioning them. My reference to morality and ethics in regards to Christianity should have been that, rather than mentioning the bible specifically. That's not to say that there aren't Christians out there who would take every single word as gospel (ho ho, ha ha, pun time), but I would suspect they are very, very much in the minority; or those that would warp the religion itself for their own needs (your Westboro Baptist Churches of the world, for example).

All in all, your post has merit and I do not wish to discredit it slightly; please do not take anything I have said to this point as doing so. It's a pleasure to be able to actually discuss something on this board, rather than bicker back and forth. My stance on Laffy's attitude towards this whole thing will remain unchanged though - he would quite happily have everyone believe that he cannot step outside without being accosted by a stranger demanding that he become clergy, that the church is out to ruin his life, his country and his planet, and frankly that's not something I see or have seen, I hear or have heard, nor do I see anything at all to suggest it's even remotely imminent. Would love to hear further from you.
