It's nice to see people discuss the Old Testament. At least some people have actually read the damn book. For me, every verse was another hammer-blow to the nails that pinned me to the cross of my atheism. I don't see how anyone can read that and take any part of it seriously, especially women. Either the bible is wrong, or, if its right, god is a total malevolent, immature, childish simpleton. The ultimate dead-beat dad, and just an out and out a-hole.
ID should NOT be taught in the public school system in any shape or form. There is more than enough intelligent evidence for the Theory of Evolution, and thinkng that it had to have been initiated by a higher intellignce is an insult to nature.
Organized religion is nothing more than an anchor that is holding human society and civilization back from how great it can be.
If you need spiritualism in your life, if you can't find faith in the good that exists in mankind, then keep it in your own home, keep it in your own church, and don't try to lay your mythology on those who don't want it. (Sorry, get a lot of LDS's at my door, and they never want to stay long for some reason. Maybe it's the coffee.)
