Then how do you live with yourself?
I'm not going to proceed on this thread because I've been too flippant about something that many here obviously feel very passionate about. So I'll take my leave and wish you the best.
Regards.
Yes, I understand from your teachings that he is Jewish, he is Muslim, he is Hindu, he is pagan, he is Catholic.
Well, I don't think you particularly care to be very careful in your reasoning here, but clearly I never said such a thing. Your statement implied that being evangelical and obnoxious were mutually exclusive. I pointed out that some of your fellow evangelicals were highly obnoxious. Therefore you statement was wrong. Q.E.D.
Tell us your opinion of Einstein, Schweitzer, Pasteur, Mozart, Meir, Thatcher, just to name a few human beings created by God and given brains...
You mean where it commands us to kill homosexuals?
Quite a claim...care to substantiate it?
Who's us?
No,she knew what she was doing would be SEEN as "wrong" by the bible-thumpers who ran the school. This is not the same thing as actually BEING "wrong".
hid it,
She hid it because she didn't want these mental midgets calling her a prostitute.
knew the consequences, now wants to use the pity card.
Again,WHY do so many of you fail to see it't the CHILD being "punished" here for the alleged "sins". Is it your "Christian Charity" shining so brightly into your eyes that makes you blind?
I agree that she and the child are both MUCH better off not having to associate with these hate-filled cultists,but that's not the point. The point is that the mother was apparantly brain-washed by this cult when she was a child herself,and she thinks her child would benefit from being there. If this school or these people receive ANY taxpayer money or aid at all,they don't have the right to do this. And since they don't pay any taxes on their income or property due to being a "charity",these tax savings qualify as receiving tax-payer money.
You can't have it both ways. If you want the gooberment out of your churches,get your churches out of the gooberment pocket.
You betcha! It's a wonder to me why the cultists don't worship somebody more forgiving and kinder-hearted than their God. Somebody such as Joseph Stalin or Adolph Hitler,for instance.
"None are so blind as those who will not see."
Well, why don't you reach a little deeper in your pocket and go to a decent place.
If you are not an active believing Christian I don't expect you to agree with this or understand it. No matter.
If the girl's 'punishment' of missing three weeks of kindergarten is the worst thing that happens to her, praise God. Perhaps this will be a lesson that when people make poor choices the consequences go beyond the first person involved.
How dare we 'punish' a child who may be deprived of something because a parent does something (gets a ticket or fine, has to pay an insurance deductible, get suspended from work, etc).
Jesus showed great compassion to those thristed and hungered for righteousness. He also had harsh words for those who would step on the faith of others, especially children. This woman has shown contempt for the chruch and the school's standards as well as the other kids and parents.
