I'm sorry, but what about a free country gives parents the right to spend MY MONEY on whatever education they choose?
Its funny how the right opposes their money being used to buy health care for children but support their money being used to teach children the Earth is 6000 years old, isn't it?
If you can't afford the $3500 or so year Eternity Christian charges (with all the tax breaks associated with it) you probably aren't making enough to pay much in taxes.
Its funny how the right loves to portray the poor as non-taxpaying leaches - until they get taxpayer funded vouchers to send their kids to Bible school.
Funny how the socialists profess to give a shit about the poor, but then fight tooth and nail every effort to get them out of the failed public school system.
Unless you live in Louisiana this is none of your business so stick it up your ass.
From a failed public school system to a school that doesn't even teach science? Sorry, but how is that "better"? We've taken them off a ship that's sinking and put them onto a ship that's on fire, brilliant fucking plan.
Yeah, sure, thats a new thing, I had no problem with Bush spending it to drop bombs on poor people in Iraq.I'm sorry, but what about a free country gives parents the right to spend MY MONEY on whatever education they choose?

It's funny how you're suddenly concerned about how your money is being spent.
I'm sure you never gave a piss about crackheads paying their rent with your money or baby mamas buying $100 sneakers for their bastard children with your money. Fuck off, hypocrite.
Prove beyond a shadow of a doubt--of course neither one.
Which seems more reflective of the actual reality?
The Big Bang Theory.
Who cares?
In a free country, parents have the right to decide what the curriculum of their child meets their goals.
It's called "choice."
Leftists are anti-choice - being pro-abortion doesn't change this fact.

No, I oppose my tax dollars being spent teaching children "Bible based math". Do you have a reading comprehension problem?If you can't afford the $3500 or so year Eternity Christian charges (with all the tax breaks associated with it) you probably aren't making enough to pay much in taxes.
So you oppose Section 8 housing and food stamps and Medicaid, right?
Because if people are receiving those things they probably aren't making enough to pay much in taxes, yeah?
Jesus fucking Christ you moron, did you read the article at all? This "one specific lesson plan" you are referring toinvolves warehousing children in cubicles for most of the day with Bible work books. The only difference between that and a kennelled dog is the kennelled dog doesn't get any Bible literature to read. The top voucher recipient is "New Living World School" where students spend most of the day WATCHING TV.You claim they aren't getting a better education because you happen to disagree with one specific lesson plan.
I oppose MY money going to paying for abortions!
What is "Bible-based math?"
Awesome. So my tax dollars will now pay for children to be taught that the Earth was made in 6 days. They won't be "exposed" to the theory of evolution, because it might 'confuse' them. This is quite a step forward! F^&K YOU VERY MUCH BOBBY JINDAL!
.
At Eternity Christian Academy in Westlake, pastor-turned-principal Marie Carrier hopes to secure extra space to enroll 135 voucher students, though she now has room for just a few dozen. Her first- through eighth-grade students sit in cubicles for much of the day and move at their own pace through Christian workbooks, such as a beginning science text that explains "what God made" on each of the six days of creation. They are not exposed to the theory of evolution.
"We try to stay away from all those things that might confuse our children," Carrier said.
Other schools approved for state-funded vouchers use social studies texts warning that liberals threaten global prosperity; Bible-based math books that don't cover modern concepts such as set theory; and biology texts built around refuting evolution.

Personally I think anyone who believes that is a Fool, However why do you people have such a Problem with our Children Understanding what Many Christians Believe? It's not being taught as the Facts, it's being Taught to show the Kids that someone people believe something different than the Standard Curriculum.
Thinking people will see that Creationism is Fantasy, and Evolution makes much more sense.
What's to fear?
Actually it does. Day 3 is Earth. Day 6 is Man.
But how many "possible" years are there between one day and the next? It could have taken, in our time, 6 billions years between the 1st day and the 6th.
According to the Bible, one day equals one day.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance
- 2 Peter 3:8-9
The Bible leaves room for the concept that "a day" is not a 24 hour day.

to both of you...
THE POINT is that time as measured by God is not the same as time measured by man.
"like a thousand years" is not a definite measurement of a God "day" hence the word like.
And the verse answers the assertion earlier in this thread that "according to the Bible, a day is a day."
According to the Bible, its not.

The context indicates that it is not Peter's concern to explain that God views time differently than man does, or that there is no difference to God between one day and a thousand years, or that God is not bound to time, or that He calculates a thousand years for one day and visa versa ... No! Peter's point is that God is faithful and that God is not slack concerning what He has promised! And, implied in this truth is the truth that God therefore communicates time related information in terms and with the meaning which the recepients of the promise must be able to understand.
One day with the LORD is a thousand years? - BibelCenter Studies
Here the interpretation is that Gods view of time in regards to His promises are on His timetable, not ours, but God is faithful to His promise regardless.
In Chapter 3, verses 8 and 9, God’s time and human time are addressed. The scoffers ignore the fact that judgment is God’s business and will be done in God’s time. What humans experience as a long delay can be viewed another way. Paul reminds the reader’s that in God’s sight a day may be like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day, so calculating the fulfillment of the prophetic promises on the basis of the human calendar should be abandoned
