Zone1 People Cheer For Removing Christianity From America

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Religion has no business in schools. I say that as a retired teacher and Christian. Brief religious content to show influences on history are required, but beyond that all should be discussed on an equal basis. Policies regarding religion in public schools have been well thought out and been in practice for many years. No change is necessary. If a student wants to read a Bible, Koran, or any other religious text, they can and are able to read that at any time when available, but religious instruction by teachers is not.

 

[Woodznutz]

I was born in 1948--educated through the 1950's and early 60's.
At no time did we study the bible in class..ever.
We did bring our rifles to school during hunting season though..for hunter safety class.

But zero Bible.

If students are well behaved, respectful, and attentive there's little need for religious instruction in schools.

 

[Lockback]

They lied to us in school back in those days..a lot, as it all turned out~

They lie a whole lot more nowadays.
"Hey, just because you're born a boy doesn't mean you have to stay one!"
"America is racist!"
"Socialism is wonderful!"

 

[Papageorgio]

The school are in the education business, not the religion business.
Take your kids to church..Sunday school is great!

Leave thinking to the schools to teach, religion does a historically poor job at thinking---it's been a crime even, under the church, to burn for free-thinking~

Is that why taxpayers in this country spend more than any other nation on education and produce low results?

If educating would stick to educating instead of indoctrinating, I would support that.

I dunno. Tough love is still love, ask any parent.

Democrat love: Permissiveness/liberalism.
Republican love: Discipline/conservatism.

Republican love: No empathy/alt right.

Socialism is no worse no better than capitalism.
America has always been racist.
You are not a biologist.

90 percent (more or less) of religion is education. The Bible is a textbook containing absolutely necessary knowledge. Sadly, most nominal Christians don't study it for that knowledge. The biggest reason the Bible can't be taught in public schools is that it contradicts the notion that the kids are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Back in the day our teachers had us all on probation.

That should have been taught to the Founders: no religious tests for office, no Established Church, and so on.

Get over it, because it won't change.

 

[jacksonlamb]

I'm in roughly the same age zone.
No, we never discussed the Bible in public schools.
But there wasn't a concerted effort to discredit Christianity either.

There was no religion in school when I was a boy. But almost all of us were Bible conversant, even those who did not go to church.

Now even those who do are not at all conversant with the Bible.

 

[norwegen]

My high school in the 1980s offered a religion class. Usually Catholic kids elected to take it. A school bus would take them to the Catholic Church and then back to school a couple days a week.

It never bothered anyone.

 

[Cougarbear]

Well, the first five books in every Bible is the Torah. Muslims can suck eggs! We don't need terrorist books.
Funny how for for roughly 300 to 400 years, from early colonial era (1600's) until the Supreme Court effectively removed it in 1963. It served as a primary textbook for reading, instruction, and moral training from the Puritan era through the mid-20th century. Then, children were basically on their own and we saw Satan introduce wokeism into the schools to the point now half the country can't tell us what a woman is. Put the Bible back into the schools so that boys can learn to be men and girls can learn to be women. That way, the floundering half of America can catch up and be more like those who come out of private Catholic schools.

Admiral, you have been demoted and found guilty of treason...

Right, public schools are used to help children protest guns, ICE, and Climate Change.

There is no room for indoctrination, or at least, from people of faith. Why? Cuz they believe in God and are thus insignificant and should be ignored.

 

[jacksonlamb]

norwegen Mormons do the same thing in the Great Basin.

It's called sanctioned school release time.

Oh, you poor Karen.

 

[Votto]

Oh, you poor Karen.

Well, at least you loons admit to brain washing these poor kids as they contemplate lopping off their genitals because of your oppressive and sick indocdrination.

Baby steps.

 

[egp320i]

Don't you mean seldom explain(s) it well?

good catch, yes seldom does it make any sense

I mean it's a very old text originally written in hebrew and aramaic, then greek and then english

plenty of lost translations

Republican love: No empathy/alt right.

After a while you run out of empathy.

The basic function of religion is behavior modification, and is badly needed here.

behavior modification sounds like science, we don't want that

you either read, understand and obey or you don't

It can't be forced on you, that's Islam, we want no part of that

 

[Woodznutz]

you either read, understand and obey or you don't

Not quite that simple.

 

[egp320i]

Not quite that simple.

sure it is, you believe or you do not, there is not middle ground

no religion is a 50/50

in or out, that is your choice, it's not supposed to be part time in a sense
