The problem is that we kicked God out of our schools. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and it says in Jeremiah that … they refused to listen to the Word of God and they ended up having no shame.
We’ve told our kids that they come from nowhere and they’re here for no purpose, they’re heading to oblivion. But that is the problem. We need to tell our kids, they were created by God, they have a gift, they have a purpose, and bring that back into the public school as a foundation.
God has left us on Earth to look for opportunities to overcome evil with good and all of us have an opportunity in front of [us].

Where do they get this BS? Oooh! Need to rile up voters! I know, I’ll take random swipes at an old atheist strawman, and conflate it with the teaching of science!
gee a Christian lying again. how not surprising.
Must be a day that ends in “Y.”
F#$% off, Miller. Your brand of religious bulls$%& has no place in our secular politics. Ask my well-adjusted atheist college offspring.
Re “God has left us on Earth to look for opportunities to overcome evil with good and all of us have an opportunity in front of us.”
What a moron! “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:7)
If she is right, old Yahweh is playing with us.
a rather Zoroasterian concept. not christian at all.
Steve–Your comment echoes a suspicion I’ve had: The “Christian” beliefs of Miller and her ilk are really a way to help them feel superior to those less fortunate than themselves. I mean, if their God is a schoolyard bully/prankster, how can they possibly claim to be acting toward the well-being of their children, or anyone else?
