A head teacher at a state school in Munich is attempting to introduce a strict Christian regime by hanging crosses in the classroom and holding daily prayers. He’s within the law, but parents and pupils are beginning to resist.

According to Spiegel, the headteacher of Geretsried comprehensive was covering a lesson for a class of 14-15 year-olds when a debate broke out after the class refused to say a prayer.

At the end of the debate, he said atheists were stupid, sparking outrage among teachers, parents and students alike.

Not all pupils are baptized, and some teachers—including the biology teacher—don’t believe in God, leaving a sizable proportion of the school community feeling insulted.

In a later debate with students who challenged his insult against atheists, the head teacher said, “I don’t need to justify that, because it’s in the Bible.” …

Agnostics don’t bother me. Atheists, however, are making an absolute declaration. You’d have to be omniscient to say there positively is no God. That would make you God and nullify your statement.

I guess the truth hurts. I tell the atheist/agnostic crowd that every man made thing we see had to be designed/made by someone. Do they really think all those zillions of molecules and atoms in the natural world put themselves together by chance?

One thing I ask the atheist is “Prove to me that there is no G-d” Of course they can’t.

Well, an atheist may say even the Bible in Psalms 14:1B, says there is no God. Of course, the problems begin, if he reads Psalm 14:1A, The fool has said in his heart.

You can’t tell me the Atheist Biology teacher isn’t pushing an agenda. So if it’s within the other teachers rights he can talk about God all he wants.

I’m not saying all Biology teachers push an atheist agenda, loved all my Biology teacher and we did discuss religion as it pertained to evolution. As a Catholic she and I had no problem with evolution, but if you didn’t believe in God or believed in Creationism that wasn’t a problem either.

But in an article that makes sure you know the Biology teacher is an Atheist you know what they’re teaching. Why can’t the kids get the other side?

“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” I found that to be generally true. But they’re usually the ones calling others stupid for their beliefs.

That would make you God

Liberals seem to be atheists but they believe that Mankind collectively is God or Gaia-the Earth and everything on it- is God. Whichever it is they also believe that Liberal academics and politicians are God's brain.

My science teachers in high schoolabout, were Christians and Jews and believed. That includes a senior year physiology teacher who left me with avocabulary and some knowledge that irritates doctors when I answer questions. He was a no-nonsense teacher who got an incredible amount of information into his students in a year and talked about how God could make these systems because they were just too precise to have arisen out of the mud. He didn”t “preach” it, just matter-of-factly said it.

An atheist biology teacher doesn’t understand the mystery of life

I don’t believe in unicorns or leprechauns, but I spend ZERO time and effort to publicize it.
