I am quite sure that most religious people would not even take offense at the idea that their religion is at least partially about control or related to control. That's actually kind of the point of a lot of it. "Trust in God and follow his commandments" and all that stuff sort of implies that there are rules you should be following and that you have accepted the responsibility to try and follow them.

I guess I don't see why control is necessarily a bad thing. Most people would say that something like self-control is (in moderation like all things) a virtue. Certainly I see a lot more people that could use more control than I see people that are so controlled (by either themselves or others) that they could use less.

I mean you can laugh about the most ridiculous component of that groups worldview (which of course is not representative of many religious homeschoolers), but I think thats probably a good sign in comparison to the stuff a lot of parents sending their kids to public school think.

Not believing in evolution isn't a morality issue, a lot of the stuff that those folks are probably trying to avoid by homeschooling is. In other words, I wouldn't be worried about my kids spending the night at the house with the very conservative non-evolution believing family. That definitely counts for something.

Or they could go after them like we went after those damn pirates in the late 1700s.
