Man, I don't know where I am on this topic.
Theologically, I probably agree on most points. But as a result of believing that man was created in the image of God, I see each person as having value and worth--not dependent on their theology, but simply as image-bearers of God. It is the duty of each Christian to explain, as well as they can, to the people with whom they interact, the truths and implications of Christianity. But it up to the individual to choose, to believe, or not.

I would agree that the basic tennants to Law as given in the Bible are good guidance for all civil law. Obviously, Old Testament, ceremonial laws are not universal; but Do Not Murder, Do Not Lie, Do not Steal, etc and " Love your neighbor as yourself" are a pretty good starting point for any society. How can anyone object to them? Keeping the Sabath is, in my view, outside the purvue of civil government.
I don't see how education can be neutral. Either everything flows from a universe created by an orderly God, or we are the product of random chance. I do not see much middle ground. If you want to teach ethics in a moral vacuum, you must end up with moral relativism. The problem I have with the way I see Creationism taught is that it is often used simply as a tool for Christian evangelism. ( Not that I think that in itself is bad--but I object to the deception.) I think there is a way of presenting Creationism and Dawinism in an objective manner--I just haven't seen anyone do it.
