Why would the left fear what they claim doesn't exist?

Why would you want the schools to teach religion.  Shouldn't that be something personal that's taught in the home and church?  If you teach god in schools you'd have to teach about all the various gods and atheism since all religions are represented in the student body.  Public schools don't seem to be the place for religious studies.

ALL religions are NOT NECESSARILY "represented" in the student body of every single school.  That's not an argument that will wash.

Besides, you liberals can fight it all you want, but as long as there is testing in public schools, there WILL be prayer (and thus, GOD as well).  Good luck trying to stop kids from silently praying that they will PASS THE TEST!  You might ban prayers said by a group, or vocalized, but you'll NEVER stop it completely.  I'm not making an old tired joke, either.  I DID IT, back in the day, and I guarantee you that MILLIONS of students have done it throughout human history, PRAYING that they pass their tests, their classes, etc. - AKA PRAYING THEY GET A PASSING GRADE.

people like wvit1001 lives in fear of what they claim doesn't exist, but they will never admit it!

this is no place for religious discussion since yer all wrong anyway

If you want a biblethumping education for your brats, you are free to send them to a religious school.  There is probably one near your trailerpark.

Ah yes, the LOVELY INTOLERANT LEFT, who's all for free speech as long as those doing the free speech agree with the left, and all for SUPPRESSING "free speech" that DOES NOT AGREE with the left.

We are NOT "all wrong anyway".  YOU, caserio, are just as likely to be WRONG as we are.  If you cannot understand that this is an OPINION BOARD, then you need to take your toys and go find somewhere else to play.

Nobody died and made YOU God, caserio, so quit spouting off like you do.

question for bhsgrad1972:  If GOD is omnipresent...then isn't GOD is in school?

it's not intolerance when correcting wrong headedness

the muslim kid should not have to listen to the lords prayer inschool

besides you are directed by God himself to pray silently and in private and preferably by yer actions

YOU, caserio, have NO IDEA what GOD tells ME or anyone else, for that matter.  But for your SNOOPY information, I do NOT pray aloud publicly unless I am ASKED to do so.

As for the "Muslim kid" who should NOT have to "listen to the lords prayer in school", I can be OK with that as long as CHRISTIAN kids in school don't have to listen to the MUSLIM kids praying aloud as well.

As for the "Muslim kid" who should NOT have to "listen to the lords prayer in school", I can be OK with that as long as CHRISTIAN kids in school don't have to listen to the MUSLIM kids praying aloud as well.
 
You will find that covered in the First Amendment.

warrenpees, I know what the First Amendment says.

Straw man.  Stick to reality.


Yep.  I agree.  Schools should not teach children that homosexuality is normal and morally acceptable.


Straw man.  Stick to reality.


Agreed.  Government schools have no business teaching our kids what is morally acceptable and what isn't.

If you want a commie propaganda education for your brats, you are free to send them to a government school.  There is probably one near your trailer park.

Isn't that right, Warren?

 I know what the First Amendment says.

Then live it, Grasshopper.

I can feel the Christian love emanating from dan.  Amen-ah.

What about the Jewish kid who's parents teach him that Jesus is merely a prophet and not the son of god?   Would you want the teacher leading a discussion on that ?

She is.  She is exercising her free speech.  She is exercising her right to assembly.  She is practicing her FREE EXERCISE of religion.  She is petitioning her government.  She is supporting the free press.  It's the left who wants to stop her from freely practicing her religion.

Just repeating what you said, Warren.

Straw man.  Stick to reality.  I feel I need to elaborate since you are still not getting the point.  Nobody is talking about having the schools and teachers teach religion.  We are talking about ALLOWING students to independently practice their religion in schools.

If I had a religion, I would be free to practice it anywhere I wanted.

And don't forget the biblethumpers' alternative science.  I don't want American children growing up science-illiterate. 

You're allowed to pray in school now.  You can read the Bible now.   

warrenpees, since you said "IF", I will not ASSUME that you are an atheist, or agnostic.  I will instead merely point out this little tidbit, with the word "YOU" meaning ANYONE who IS religious:

Ah, but ARE YOU really allowed to practice your religion anywhere you want?

If that truly is the case, then we wouldn't be seeing JEWS mocked, and their country THREATENED.  We wouldn't be seeing news this morning that ISIS BURNED a CHRISTIAN man alive in EGYPT. 

We wouldn't be seeing Christians SUED by homosexuals just because the Christians do NOT want to be FORCED to participate in "marriage" ceremonies the Christians believe are wrong.

And - I am NOT sticking up for Muslims here, and I actually agree with the French on this one, too, but still on the subject of religion and the freedom to practice one's religion - the country of FRANCE does not allow the niqab (the full-face veil) to be worn by Muslim women.

And don't forget the government schools' alternative science.  I don't want American children growing up science-illiterate.

In some cases.

Dan, you are rapidly becoming Pee Wee Herman.  Seek help.

wrong

cas knows exactly what God tells you

you just doan understand him

first things first.  he says do not judge caserio but you can ask ..........politely

You will NOT be allowed to teach public school children that the earth is 6400 years old.

That sounded like a personal attack, Warren.  I'm just presenting to you information to which you had heretofore not been exposed.  You only hear one side of the story.  I am conveying to you alternate viewpoints.  So let's be respectful and civil, OK?  I promise I will not insult you.

Straw man.   Nobody is suggesting that.

That's so funny I forgot to laugh.

Is carbon dating "fake science", Dan?

is the greenhouse effect "fake" science dan?

Of course it was a personal attack.  It's as if D2D has taken over your brain.

there are those who say...that anchoragedan is either purposely intellectually dishonest or severely mentally ill

Or all three.

No it isn't, Warren.  Is fabricating temperature data "fake science," Warren?

No it isn't.  Is fabricating temperature data "fake science," wvit?

Show me your source.

I didn't attack you.  So what justifies your personal attack?

There are those who say JW2 helps disabled people.

When did I attack you personally, Warren?  I would like to have an intellectually honest discussion with you, but you don't seem too cooperative.  I would love for you to prove me wrong.

WRONG AGAIN, caserio.

God never gave us the ability to read one another's minds, so you can NEVER KNOW BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT what someone else is thinking or feeling.  You can NEVER know what God is telling anyone else.  IF you are listening for His small, still voice, you can know what HE wants to tell YOU - and that's all.

And on the subject of judging, make sure you get the entire passage, in context:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A1-3&version=NKJV

Matthew 7:1-3
New King James Version (NKJV)


Do Not Judge
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

I get impatient with the abysmally ignorant.  So sue me.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/environment/globalwarming/11395516/The-fiddling-with-temperature-data-is-the-biggest-science-scandal-ever.html
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/5/climate-change-whistleblower-alleges-noaa-manipula/

When one is exposed to only one point of view, does that make one more or less ignorant?  Were you not aware of temperature data being fabricated to promote the global warming agenda?

I see no credible evidence that it was.

Once an ideology gets entrenched in one's mind, it is extremely difficult to get that person to consider information contrary to his beliefs.

You should know.

when did cas claim to be a mind reader ?

reminding you to "judge not" is not mind reading

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/02/nothing-false-about-temperature-data/ (http://www.factcheck.org/2015/02/nothing-false-about-temperature-data/)

Indeed.  I see them every day.

Is "factcheck" a credible source, warren?  Do they have a political agenda?

If you want to put them out of business, just stop spreading lies.

You claim to "KNOW" what OTHER PEOPLE are thinking ALL THE TIME, caserio.  I don't recall you ever claiming to be a "mind reader", but as I stated, there is NO WAY you can KNOW what someone else really thinks or feels, unless you CAN "read minds".

I didn't conflate mind reading and judging, so don't you try to pull it off, either.

One thing I will give you:  you are the best twister of the words of others I have ever seen.

Ummmm, aren't monitoring stations SUPPOSED to be shaded, as to not register artificially inflated temperatures resulting from direct sunlight?

Any source that uses inflammatory hyperbole like "climate change denier..." obviously has an agenda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times)

What makes you think that would stop them from declaring them to be "lies" anyway?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/5/climate-change-whistleblower-alleges-noaa-manipula/

Are you a Moonie, Dan?  That would explain a lot.

I'm not sure what they do in those deprogramming sessions, but it would be good for Trumpies, too.

ah see um ah

when conversing it's required one knows what another is thinking, in polite society one asks (politely) if one

does not know

frinstance the hate for obama was quite evident from the right no asking needed

No I did not support Governor Jerry Moonbeam Brown

Are you a Hillbot, Warren?  Are you an Obamaniac?  Are you a Sandersista?

Yes, Communists do advocate and employ brainwashing to get people to comply with communist ideology.

cas, Obama is no longer president.

cas dunno why you have to be insulting, but, sobeit

Democrats force students to study Islam!

So much for separation of church and state!

force students to study Islam?   You mean as a part of world history or as a part of religious studies d2?

A New Jersey middle school has no problem teaching Islam to its students, but has censored students for bringing up the Bible.
Two mothers spoke up (https://www.tapinto.net/towns/chatham/sections/education/articles/chatham-parents-question-emphasis-on-islam-in-7th) about their children's experiences in at a Chatham Board of Education meeting in February. One of them, Nancy Gayer, voiced displeasure that her son's fourth grade PowerPoint presentation from years ago was shut down because it briefly cited a line from the Bible in advertising for his efforts to gather gloves and hats for poor children. Gayer said that the teacher told her son that it "belongs in Sunday school, not in the classroom" and proceeded to claim that the computer wouldn't allow the presentation to be shown to the class.

Sadly, in those same schools the mere mention of any Christian religion gets you abused or expelled!

There was no "insult" in a simple reminder that Obama is no longer president, cas.

If you THINK you were "insulted", you might want to think again.

There are plenty of people here who WOULD insult you in a heartbeat if you truly desire that.

teaching about the world's religions in social studies makes sense doesn't it?

They are not!

They are only teaching Islam!

They are forcing children to swear fealty to Allah/Islam!

Yes.  Do you support that, wvit?

So you're OK with teaching the role of Christianity and Judaism in world history?  Then why don't they teach it?

So you're OK with teaching the role of Christianity and Judaism in world history? 
Then why don't they teach it?"

same reason American schools don't teach real US or world history:

the truth is UGLY

and it offends the offenders and their descendants.

Soooo, don'tblammy, you want religion taught in schools.... Would that be your own WARPED version of  the Christian religion, or everybody's?

Your hypocrisy and hatred are sickening!

Dismissed..,

Ldy R.*  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/sarcasmics/107w9oy.gif) (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/sarcasmics/107w9oy.gif) (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/sarcasmics/107w9oy.gif)

But they teach Islam.  That is ugly.  Why not teach the beauty of Christianity and Judaism?  After all, our American culture and values are based on Judeo-Christian tenants.

No.  We want the schools to stop prohibiting students from independently practicing their religious beliefs.

Bullshit, dan. You hypocritical Pharisees care about only one thing. power.

You are crying in your soup now that it's dwindling. The consensus opinion among the American people are turning against you and your hypocrisy.

Blubber on, dan. Blubber on..

Dismissed..,

what religious beliefs are schools stopping children from practicing dan?

They are forcing children to swear fealty to Allah/Islam!
 
Show me a credible source for that one brainD2D.

...and they all lived happily ever after.

That is why Warren is a Democrat!

Individual rights divide the populace!

All must tow the government line according to Democrats but only when Democrats are in charge!

They are only teaching Islam!

They are forcing children to swear fealty to Allah/Islam!
 
Still waiting for your source, brainD2D.

See above!
