Thank God for secularism

[LeftofLeft]

Democrats are consumed by darkness

Naturally democrats hate the 10 commandments and want them censored from schools while they tell your kids about all the genders they believe in and push grooming books on them.

Democrats love Jesus and his teachings when it suits them but they fight tooth and nail to keep Jesus out of the schools and courthouses.

 

[DukeU]

Yes, excellent point. Robbery didnt start until they stopped shoving your dogma down childrens throats in school.

What point are you making besides the fact no one made the claim.

This is a breath of fresh air, the country was starting to embrace religious fundamentalism.

Texas can’t require public schools to display Ten Commandments in class, judge rules

Law temporarily blocked after group sought preliminary injunction, saying it violated first amendment protections

www.theguardian.com

But it can still allow them to display the Ten Commandments if they want to?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Which is precisely what you are doing.

Bible versus about sharing and community have nothing to do with giving the STATE control over people or seizing their property against their will.

Nor does socialism, like many here to haven't educated yourself, have a read of this then get back to me.

No they aren't. They are voluntary associations, just like credit unions and other types of cooperatives.

Yet staunchly resisted by conservatives - I wonder why...

Socialism naturally arises from a true democracy, the majority want things that the powerful minority do not want, but in a true democracy the majority opinions can become dominant.

You talk of voluntary, but is income tax voluntary? of course it isn't, does that mean we are living under communism?

Stop being ridiculous.

Socialism means the state controls things, there is nothing voluntary about socialism.

Do you like having Police or would you prefer Police Insurance like we have Medical Insurance?

Nope, I am well aware of the ultimate goals of socialism and communism. It is to give control of society to the ruling class, and take it away from the sovereign people.

I have not a damn thing against voluntary associations.

Freaking hypocrite Brits lecture the Colonies about freedom of religion when their own history is tied to a national religion and the crooked monarchy used to behead citizens for not converting to the Church of England. That's one of the reasons we kicked the Redcoats out 250 years ago.

The US was a British colony, many Brits who disapproved of Church and State, settled here. Ever heard of "New England"? The war of independence was not a war between Americans and British, it was a war between British and British.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

I am fine with not forcing schools.

But it amazes me that Dems are so offended by teaching people thou shall not kill or steal

You're confused again, thinking that a poster of the ten commandments teaches anything.

It really explains why blue cities are such crime ridden

Germany was a Christian Society, two thirds of the population in the 1920s was either Catholic or Protestant. How did that prevent Fascism? how did that prevent extermination camps? how did that prevent medical experimentation of non-German children?

There's no evidence that putting up a poster off the Ten Commandments leads to a crime free society.

All organized religions involve an interpretation of some kind of literature, usually ancient. Christians have been killing for thousands of years, it was Christians who bombed Vietnamese villagers, Japanese peasants with atomic weapons, that cannot be reconciled with the sixth commandment unless one interprets that commandment - I do not need or want someone else to interpret God's word for me.

 

[marvin martian]

We republicans banned owning slaves in the USA. Sure pissed off Democrats too.

They're still not over it. Their slaves are Mexican now instead of African, but no real differences.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

You call us nazis. It is obvious not true, but you are not really calling us nazis.

Eradicating black history from our museums, putting soldiers on our streets to "police" the people, gangs of masked armed men "arresting" children and denying them access to their parents and lawyers, locking a black woman into a building unless she signs a document, these are the actions of an emerging fascist state.

If you're actually surprised or offended by this then that's all because you are uneducated. Go and read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Most magats are uneducated and I see that daily in these discussions.

What you are doing is stating your intent to destroy us.

Here we go, "victim" !

To that end, you use any and all offices you hold, up to and including teaching positions to push your ideology of hostility and death.

Our government is supporting death overseas, not a peep out of you.

That some christian Americans try to push back on that, with Christianity, is certainly understandable and Just.

I know "Christians" in this country who claim to have raised dead people, or rejoice when Gaza gets bombed, or admire a man who routinely insults people, denigrates women, lies and on and on.

To claim you are a Christian, with strong morals and keen sense of justice while defending genocide and trump as you do, is the height if hypocrisy, you are a joke, a fascist who has no idea what he's doing to his country.

People like you need to be purged from education. Completely.

There's another term often seen during the rise of fascism "purge". Jews were purged, Gypsies were purged, downe syndrome children were purged...

Well sure, the poster is just words, you have to know what it means not to kill, why is that such a horrible thing to be reminded of?

It didn't, and won't, preventing Fascsim is about keeping Fascist out of power, that's what we did in Nov, and why that party has a 19 percent approval today

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Do you support schools celebrating Pride Day?

Probably not, but there are thousands of things that go on at schools that I might not eagerly support.

Have you read the Gospels? there's nothing in there about homosexuality...

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Democrats love Jesus and his teachings when it suits them but they fight tooth and nail to keep Jesus out of the schools and courthouses.

No they do not, they - I - will resist keeping some special interest group's interpretation of Jesus, out of the classroom. I do not want the state imposing its interpretation of scripture on my children, choosing which bits of scripture to display in classrooms.

Would you approve of a Mormon teacher insinuating that polygamy is Biblical?

Put some Bible's in the library and be done. let the child read if they want to when they want to.

God calls people as and when he wants to, we don't need people pushing their politicized fake religious agendas down kids' throats.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Well sure, the poster is just words, you have to know what it means not to kill, why is that such a horrible thing to be reminded of?

You don't care about killing, you support it, stop lying.

Like all magats you're a total dunce, you lie all the time, even to yourself.

So is Down and out in Paris and London, that's an equally good read if you've not seen it.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

But it can still allow them to display the Ten Commandments if they want to?

No, why should some authority be deciding what parts of the Bible get displayed to my children in school? why should some authority decide that it's even the Bible we display?

Why not the Koran? why not Buddhist teachings? or Shintoism? Satanism?

In a fascist state yes, that's what happens, the state decides but as you sad pointless losers keep bleating - we're not fascist...

 

[TNHarley]

You certainly implied it.

Why are you bringing up “fascism”?

Is a corporation involved in this case?

These are government funded schools, teachers, and taxpayers with children in these schools they pay for.

Fascism involves corporations enacting the will of the government.

I support killing?

Then you say I lie?

I know what the tenants of fascism are, I’ve seen them embraced by the party of the demklan here in the United States

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Why are you bringing up “fascism”?

Because to advocate that some authority decide which interpretation of a religion should be forced upon school children, that's something seen in fascist states, its obvious, so why are you acting all surprised?

Is a corporation involved in this case?

No idea, did anyone say one was? in which post did they say that?

These are government funded schools, teachers, and taxpayers with children in these schools they pay for.

Why should I agree to some authority deciding what religious material will be displayed in my kid's classroom?

I've asked you three times now.

Fascism involves corporations enacting the will of the government.

Yet another magat who doesn't have access to an encyclopedia, did you even go to school?
