Georgia OKs Bible Classes, Commandments

[camily]

The fact of the matter NOTHING ever will be fair, not America, not gas prices, not how many licks it takes to get to the center of the tootsie pop.

Our country was founded on the fundamentals of a religion, that being Christianity, therefor it is intertwined in our history. If you teach history you must explain the affect of religion had on the development of our country. If you deny that you have your head in the sand.

OBTW "Diversity" is stupid. It is a "clean word" the liberals thought up to replace "Afirmative Action" when it started smelling bad.

It's really not fair that it takes so many dam licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

I don't see a problem with it being offered as an elective at all. In World History, they do a small unit on the major world religions, and that seems to be okay, so I don't see why giving students opportunities to delve more deeply into learning the history of a religion would be harmful.

Neither do I, I am just saying that doing so opens the door for all religions. Private school exists for a reason. If you can't afford that, then maybe homeschool is the choice, or maybe just teaching religious diversity at home. I just don't feel it is neccessary in "public" school.

And I think if there were a sufficient interest in other religions, they should have to offer studies in them as well. I think the more education they can pack into any school, public or otherwise, the better. Again, they probably aren't so much "condoning" Christianity as they are teaching it's history and origin. The Bible is a huge deal in literature, even for those that don't believe its scripture. It's unfortunate that high school English classes can't teach it.

This is fun! You are wrong again! The Ga. state flag that had the confederate battle flag in it was replaced 30 January 2001 by an all blue flag with the state seal in the center, which was replaced in May 2003 by the flag above.

Semantics aside, it is just endemic how often you open your pie hole and blow without having any real knowledge of what you are blowing about.



I like this version better.

I was going by the date YOU highlighted. I'm assuming you highlighted it for a reason....correct? I think you were as wrong as I. You may need to work on that googling a bit more, then.

It's humorous to watch you cling on to a branch and shake the crap out of it just to be "right" on a peripheral item. Okay...so the 2nd time you researched the history of the Georgia flag, you found 2001. Big frakkin' deal! If I ever meet you in person, I'll by you a beer for being so intelligent.

The point of the post, Flagboy, is to state that there are plenty of appropriate places where religious theory is taught. Religious high schools, religious colleges, Sunday schools....CHURCH. It's not hard to find that sort of instruction.

The overly religious want to force their beliefs on everyone else.

Want religion? Find a church.

I never made it without biting. Let's ask Mr. Owl....

Actually what is humorous is when Mr. Liberal makes an incorrect, brash, dismissive generalization about an entire state, its people, its legislature and its governor and gets is broke off in his ass, THEN attempts damage control.

Actually, I don't even like Tootsie pops. That was a complete fabrication on my part. I do however love Blow Pops. They are equally unfair.

The point of the post Sphincterboy was Georgia, its governor, legislature and the people who elected them didn't subscribe to your way of thinking so you snubbed them with your own incorrect peripheral.

Like I said before America was founded in religion, it is intertwined in our history as is the history of the world since the written word. It is an elective class, if someone does not want to take it, they certainly don't have to. It is amazing to me how liberals hoist the "diversity" flag (not the one with the confederate battle flag) unless it deals with Christianity. Suppose little Johnny is from a family that is not particularly religious and he WANTS to learn more about it?

Secularism is a fantasy. How would you Professor Kerad explain world history to your class.

Professor Kerad: Early in the millenium the crusades began with knights and noblemen and their armies from European countries traveling to the middle east to wage war on the Muslims.

Student: Professor Kerad, why did they do that?

Professor Kerad: Sorry I can't tell you that.

Actually I just posted the pic of the current flag and the date adopted to prove you incorrect. I knew it was changed in 2001. The fact you came back and tried to pedal the bike backwards and made ANOTHER bullshiat incorrect statement was just a bonus

Ahhh...see. Now you've gone and lost your intelligence prize.

I know what I posted and why. I don't need Flagboy to tell me.

If I were a Professor teaching history, I would explain in detail what happened. I would have done the research to present my lessons of the the day. I'm sure you would fail my class, though. Spending too much time coloring in your "Flags of the US" coloring book.

The religious can go to places of worship and celebrate their shared morality fairy tales all they want. Just don't try and slam it down everybody elses' throats.

No...you were also wrong.

 

[2ndAmendment]

Georgia also is clinging to it's Confederate flag...so that sums it up in my book.

Religion is taught in religious schools. And that is where it should stay.

Sheesh....imagine the uproar if someone taught a class about how silly/stupid/evil religion is!!!

Freedom of religion also implies freedom from religion.

What don't you understand about the word "elective"?

Classes on the Theory of Evolution should also be elective.

Please continue

It was your peripheral, don't hate because you screwed it up.

Anyway keep goin, PLEASE! I especially love the part about an "elective class" equates to "slam it down everybody elses' throat"

THE RELIGIOUS ARE COMING

THE RELIGIOUS ARE COMING

 

[Pete]

No...you were also wrong.

This just gets better and better

I will borrow from your hopper of wit and wisdom to answer you.

Wrong again, Flagboy. I never equated an elective class to anything.

Go back to your coloring.
