Liberals sue to stop children from learning about God

[MisterBeale]

"there has been no single aspect of the human experience and culture that has been more pervasive or has had more significance than has religion."

Which explains why mankind has such a history of war, mass murder and inhumane atrocities.

You only have to look at your 'Holy City" of Jerusalem to see the continued atrocities caused by religion.

It is the most unholy place in the world, but you religious zealots insist on murdering everyone you can in the name of God.

Individual students may do whatever they like in public schools, but no religion should be taught.

BTW - People sing Handel's Massiah because it's a magnificent piece of music, not because of its religious content.

I play Handel's Courante in G Major because it's a wonderful piece of music - it doesn't have any religious content.

Why are you two arguing, you are on the same page?

But Bible should not be a mandatory course in any public school.

Tough crap for the Catholics. The Protestant religions should be in control of this.

Anti-American piece of shit.

That isn't how the founders wanted it.

Catholic Founding Fathers – The Carroll Family

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin. Nearly every schoolchild recognizes them as the Founding Fathers. But there were a great many more …

Yes religion has been used as an excuse to do bad things, but religions, most especially JudeoChristianity has done far FAR more good in the world than bad. That's why honest history must include the religion(s) that have shaped our history, our traditions, our culture, our world so that the fanatically religious cannot pretend the bad did/does not exist and the bigots cannot claim that religion has been mostly bad.

And having said that, Bibles should definitely be available to students who want that in the schools, but Bible Study should never be required curriculum in the public schools.

But that is NOT what the thread is about. It is about having folks taxes go toward a particular mandate.

Oklahoma teachers were told to use the Bible. There’s resistance from schools as students return​

Oklahoma's education chief is requiring public schools to incorporate Bible lessons and vowing repercussions for those that don't comply.

That was in response to specific comments by another member.

My goal is to ensure that my informed opinion that Bible Study should never be mandatory in any public school is not extrapolated to the opposite extreme that there should be no religion of any sort in the public schools.

Arguing from somewhat different perspectives which is a healthy thing. Religion is the single most significant force most than any other that has affected and shaped human history throughout the world, but that does not mean everyone sees that influence in the same way.

We might agree that Bible should not be a mandatory course in any public school and totally disagree on why Bible should not be a mandatory course in any public school.

 

[MizMolly]

Then how do we educate the masses about this?

Which has what to do with my post?

 

[boilermaker55]

Academics!

That's why we hire teachers.

 

[boilermaker55]

All religions have a demented structure to them.

Of course children should be taught about God. Yet these liberals want to deny our children the opportunity to learn about God. Our Founding Fathers must be turning over in their graves.

Congress shall pass no laws regarding establishment of religion

Did Oklahoma miss that?

I would rather think that would depend on one's perception and definition of 'demented.'

 

[lennypartiv]

Which god.

The Christian God. We were founded as a Christian nation.

Oklahoma is not the federal congress.

That's a lie, Lenny. And you know what happens to unrepentant liars.
America rejects Christian nationalism.

They want to learn about fake entities, do it at home.

what's fake is critical theory in all its facets of stupidity.
