Progressive Va. School Refuses To Play Sports With Icky Christian Kids

Homosexuals can get married, just not to each other. Once again, The Bible isn't being bigoted toward the homosexual.
Remember actions are the sin,. Is pedophillia a sin?

Yes, because a child can't consent... and adult can.

 

[DandyDonovan]

Isn't saying people who hold Christian beliefs are not worth associating with bigotry as well?

I would say that if my thoughts were completely binary, and I couldn't use my reasoning for context.

Christian Beliefs are, by their very scripture, bigoted against certain folks.

Disengaging them based on that - or what binary thinkers would call "anti bigotry bigotry" isn't hypocritical, it's morally consistent against Bigotry.

You can't be bigoted toward a sin, only the sinner. The Bible teaches us to love the sinner and hate the sin. That isn't bigotry as you define it. Unless you believe hatred of something like pedophillia is bigotry.

Is it?

When you use the Bible as justification to try to prohibit something like Civil Marriage, it is indeed bigotry. When you arbitrarily decide which behaviors are sin and not, it is bigotry.

/——/ Are there Christians who do that? Yes. But not all

I'd never say all would, either.

But if a school discriminates against folks based on the gender they're physically attracted to - it's bigotry.

Of course it is, so what. This school saying "we won't play at _________ school" is also bigotry.

Humans are bigots and it's childish of all these groups to pretend like one bigotry is worse than another.

My marriage is to blame for all this.

Homophobic is some word a queer made up.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....worn out as you assholes racist crap

Oh, Fat Irish Sow, the fact is, there will be a day where you'll have to keep your homophobia as quiet as your racism.

 

[whitehall]

Are Christians "the new KKK"? Wow, what about a Christian kid who wears a MAGA hat? Would it be open season for assault and murder if the crazy left and the MSM had their way?

Look at this loser " there will soon be a day when you will have to hide the fact that you are a Christian"

And that IS what the Democrats would like to see.

 

[martybegan]

It isn't preaching anything. the only reason the people outside of those going to the school know about it is because the media wanted to do a hit piece on Pence via his wife.

The only bigotry going on here is on the part of the Progressive school, for not being even able to associate with the Christian school via a ******* high school basketball game.

Gee, so you are against freedom of association now? Because if this was some wifebeater refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple, you'd be all over it. But a school says, 'We don't want to play against your school because you teach homophobia", that's wrong by you?

Who's saying anything about forcing them to do anything? i am saying it's a "dick move"

Sorry if I am able to handle more nuance than you, but i understand your inability to see anything past "PEOPLE NOT LIKE ME BAD"

Government has nothing to do with this. What I am saying is they are a bunch of petty babies for not even wanting to be on the same court as the Christian school.

And note the bakers in these cases have never refused non custom sales to gay people, just not for their weddings.

Some of them even refuse to make halloween cakes because of their morality.

Anti bigotry is not thus bigotry. Humans have this weird capability of thinking for context.

Justify it however you like. You're being intellectually dishonest (as usual for a leftist) bigotry is bigotry , just read this thread it's chock of anti Christian bigotry.

I’ve been wanting to use this icon.

This sounds like the appropriate thread.

Still don’t know who didn’t want to play with who…or why it matters.

It's pretty clear from the article. The "progressive school" says it feels uncomfortable playing at the Christian school, and I guess will forfeit the game there.

No, what's clear is that this is an inane thread that fails as a strawman fallacy; just more whining from the right about a non-issue.

Why won't they go to the Christian school to play the game?

What do you care and how is it any of your business? (rhetorical question - I don't much care/can guess what your answer is)

They are braking no laws, not being cruel to people.

Just exercising their right to freedom of movement and expression.

You are trying to make a 'federal' case out of it....just like the article is desperately trying to do.

I am voicing my opinion on an opinion board. Caring or being impacted by this has nothing to do with anything.

They are being assholes while pretending to be righteous. That makes them assholes.

Please show me where I want the federal government or the courts involved.

Now the local athletic association has a choice to make, allow this across the board, or put a stop to it.

It's what Joedouche would like to see, that's for sure.

I guess "can't we all just get along" isn't going to work anymore.


Progressive Va. School Refuses To Play Sports With Icky Christian Kids

News media recently attacked second lady Karen Pence for teaching art at a Christian school that requires fidelity to Christian sexual mores from students and staff. Now a progressive private school that used to play athletic games against Pence’s Immanuel Christian School is refusing to play against them at their facility, on grounds that playing basketball at a Christian school makes children “unsafe.” Yes, really.

The school in question did not go out of their way to advertise their viewpoints, they were thrust into the limelight because Pence's wife had the audacity to work there, and the media decided to make them a "Christians bad" story.

I particularly like these parts:

So we decided that we would invite ICS to play all of the games at Sheridan. Since ICS declined our offer to host, we will only play our home games and will not go to ICS to play.

When Immanuel kids come to play at Sheridan, Donovan said, her students plan to antagonize the Christian children by plastering LGBT images across their clothing and waving LGBT-celebratory signs during games.

So they asked to hold all the games on their home court, because, you know, uncomfortable, and then the person said they would go out of their way to make the other schools kids be uncomfortable as possible.

What a display of doublethink.

First, your story is from 'The Federalist'...a joke of a website. Staggeringly biased. Plus, the person who wrote it apparently wrote some incredibly biased and unsubstantiated book about schooling.

This is miles from unbiased reporting.

The Federalist (website) - Wikipedia
Amazon.com: Customer reviews: The Education Invasion: How Common Core Fights Parents for Control of American Kids

So this is the nonsense you read? Figures.


Second.

So some sports players do not want to play sports against another school?

Big deal.


And as for the signs?

It's called free speech...live with it.


We are done here.

Have a nice day.

Correct.

The thread premise is a failed attempt to vilify "progressives" predicated on the alleged actions of the non-representative few and a biased, unreliable source.

It's actually the far more honest position, because it allows for the actual context of the situation.

If person x is against bigotry...
& they avoid person Y in light of being a bigot..

this is not a logical contradiction, it's congruent.

Look at this loser " there will soon be a day when you will have to hide the fact that you are a Christian"

And that IS what the Democrats would like to see.

When did Jesus talk about Homosexuality? It isn't in any of the gospels.

Just because you define Christianity as "Hating gays and Mexicans", doesn't mean the rest of us do.

Who's saying anything about forcing them to do anything? i am saying it's a "dick move"

you say it's a dick move, I say it's perfectly acceptable reaction to this school's bigotry.

And note the bakers in these cases have never refused non custom sales to gay people, just not for their weddings.

Some of them even refuse to make halloween cakes because of their morality.

Some people used to cut other people's hearts out because of their "morality"... Good thing we have laws that protect people from other people's religious stupidity.

Hate & bigotry are always justified when Regressives do it.

Well, at least they're consistent. And they teach it to kids.
