Thank God for secularism

Call it what you like, as long as you teach your kids right.

I dont recall having to teach my kids that murder is wrong.

I guess that's a mental deficit that plagues children of religious people.

 

[Robert W]

No, we liberals did. You conservatives waved your bibles around and told us god wants slavery.

But you would have to have read a history book at some point in your life to know that.

You Democrats fought to keep slaves. We fought you again in 1964. You are definitely no liberal.

Actually, it's really just a good first step, the trick now is to bring down the rest of social instruction infecting the school curriculum and return education to an academic exercise...I wonder how many socially educated posters are going to need this explained to them.

ACADEMICS In Schools!!! Would that be great for future America, Educated children.

 

[Robert W]

This isn't remedial science class. You tell me. You make your point, then I respond. That's how this works.

You have no idea at all.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You Democrats fought to keep slaves.

We liberals fought to free the slaves.

You conservatives fought to own slaves and used the Bible to justify it.

Haha, you've never even seen a history book, have you?

Maybe treat others as you wish to be treated then.

Basically, the same thing, just different wording.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You have no idea at all.

You're the one who had to ask the question, so clearly you're the one who has no idea.

Do you often beg strangers for basic science information that 11 year olds already have?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I assure you, if i ever say something retarded like "the idea murder is bad came from the bible", i hope someone slaps me.

Hard.

But I take your point. Heck, I can find "murder is bad" in the Quran. Our learned morality doesnt come from books of mythology, in general. It comes from the genetic accident of where and when we were born

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

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

It really explains why blue cities are such crime ridden

Then you asked me a question.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Why do you insist and diverting a perfectly good topics of discussion into the Gaza debate?

Wrong thread bro.

And yet allowing moral preaching on LBGT stuff is somehow OK?

The "wall" is a made up term from the religion haters. The 1st amendment was to protect religious freedom, not to replace it with the current lefty morality crusades.

Religious freedom means freedom from your bullshit religion too.

All religion is an offshoot of the original, but due to mankind's fallen state they get watered down over time.

You will know it's no accident the closer you get to death, and you will acknowledge God.

Remember I told you that.

 

[Zincwarrior]

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.

I missed thd Bible passages about unfettered Robber Baron capitalism.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Then you asked me a question.

When you are done whining and prancing and preening, go ahead and try to make the point you imagined you were going to make.

Go on.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Thou shalt not kill is crossing a line. eh?

Lets have a school lesson on how Trump broke them by ******* porno actors.

Maybe, but we learned long ago that murdering our fellow tribe members was bad. Even chimps display this basic morality.

You will know it's no accident the closer you get to death, and you will acknowledge God.

Delusional peole having hypoxic episodes think and say all manner of crazy things.

It's not very compelling to say people at 30% brain function suddenly hallucinate and find god.

 

[whitehall]

Who are these Brits?

Are they in the room with us right now?

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure it out. Think about it.

 

[Zincwarrior]

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

Now you put up monuments to the slave owners.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You think that's his real name?

Okay!

backs away slowly

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

That would be a better place to start, IMO.
