Quote of the Day

Fewer than 5 percent of Danes attend church.  In godless Denmark, the national government funds a high quality education for all children, rich and poor alike, while in God-fearing America, education is funded through local property taxes, so neighborhood and income dictate a child's educational opportunities.  Add in race and ethnicity factors to create a perfectly stratified school system segregated by educational opportunity.  Yet American evangelicals would deem most of the compassionate citizens of Denmark -- who are living according to Jesus' teaching about how to treat people -- as "godless" and try to send American missionaries.

-- Frank Schaeffer, Why I Am an Atheist Who Believes in God, p. 64
