Leebo,
Where did I, or anybody for that matter, say that religious parents are saying to their children that they "are going to hell?" That smacks of an ad hominem attack to me. Secondly, even if they did say that, (which again, I have never heard of a religious parent doing) that is no where near a comparison of someone literally holding a gun to a child's head to make them do something. Telling someone something you believe to be true is not force-feeding your view to them or "convincing them at gunpoint." Also you said that creationism is "not a science." You made a truth claim there yet made no effort to back that up. I thought this was an academic environment where we support our claims with facts, reason, evidence and logic. Could you please clarify why you think creationism is not a science?
