Here's what the Christianists want for all of us. Fortunately, most of us don't want what they want, and even more fortunately, some are brave enough to resist. Newark Star Ledger:

Junior Matthew LaClair, 16, said history teacher David Paszkiewicz, who is also a Baptist preacher in town, spent the first week of class lecturing students more about heaven and hell than the colonies and the Constitution. LaClair said Paszkiewicz told students that if they didn't accept Jesus, "you belong in hell." He also dismissed as unscientific the theories of evolution and the "Big Bang."

Remember all the apologists for Christianist loon Rae Anderson? Just sharing? Sincere and heartfelt? I don't think so. So, faced with Christianist abuse, what did LaClair do?

LaClair, who described his own religious views as "non-Christian," said he wanted to complain about Paszkiewicz to school administrators, but feared his teacher would deny the charges and that no one would take a student's word against a teacher's. So, he said, he started taping Paszkiewicz.

Let's go to the tape!

On Sept. 14 — the fourth day of class — Paszkiewicz is on tape saying, "He (God) did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sin on his own body, suffered your pains for you and he's saying, 'Please accept me, believe me.'"

"He"? She's gonna be pissed about that. Anyhow, called on his bullshit, what did Paszkiewicz so? Read on:

On Oct. 10 — a month after he first requested a meeting with the principal — LaClair met with Paszkiewicz, Somma and the head of the social studies department. At first, Paszkiewicz denied he mixed in religion with his history lesson, and the adults in the room appeared to be buying it, LaClair said. But then he reached into his backpack and produced the CDs.

Yes, Paszkiewicz did what the Christianists always do: He lied. What a surprise! Indeed, the Christianists are POTL. Gosh, funny how this story leaped from the Newark Star-Ledger to AP to Pravda on the Potomac to Izvestia on the Hudson… You mean, it didn't? Hey, I've got on idea! Maybe Sally Quinn can cover this one in her new "On Faith" blog. And after that, maybe she can do a story on how religious fanatics have seized control of nuclear weapons … in the United States! Oh wait, I forgot. Christianists get a free pass! Move along, people, move along. There's no story here…
