First of all, this is only concerning the Bible, so I would hope that Muslims are offended and leave. El Salvador is 90+% Catholic, so no, I’m not worried about the Quran or the Book of Mormon being read aloud in school. Central American is seeing its own Muslim influx and if they were required to read aloud from the Bible, they’d poop a brick.

If we had such a requirement here, I highly doubt other religions would ever get a foothold.

I personally don’t have a problem with other faiths, but this country, if we had continued to maintain its original faith structure, would be better off. It got us to the 1950s and then we went to hell in a handbasket with laws being turned upside down (like abortion from nothingness).

If I went to a Muslim country, I wouldn’t expect them to mandate Christianity on me, but I would make sure I was allowed to practice my faith if it wasn’t Islam. The same should be acceptable in El Salvador or even here.

Remember, virtually all of our colonies were states with state religions. Why are you appalled at such a concept?

You need to read American History to appreciate the hesitancy relating to colonial state religions since in most colonies only protestant ones were tolerated and certainly not the Catholics. The historical American protestant bigotry gives cause for concern for all Catholics. The No Nothing/ Naivest movement of the 19th century, the presidential election of 1928 are but a few examples of empirical evidence of the Christ like love your protestant forefathers and your fellow protestants on this thread exhibit towards Catholics.
Reading my bible my Holy Spirit fill being tells me you and your ilk are merely following the Father of all Lies and Blasphemers destined to be cast down like lightning from the sky. But Jesus loves all repentant sinners and so the road to salvation is open even for you.

The specifics do not interest me, it is the principle.

Apparently you think government promulgation of a particular religious viewpoint is, so long as it is the majority religion, a good and acceptable practice.

I disagree.

I do not think the Book of Mormon should be taught in Utah, nor that Mormonism should be the official state religion of Utah; despite it being the majority faith. The same PRINCIPLE applies to Catholicism, Protestant faiths, Eastern Orthodox, Christian Scientist, Scientologists, Armenian Christian, Islam, Rastafarianism, Hinduism, Quakers, Shakers or Moneymakers. ;)

The original faith structure of our nation was not and is not in any way based upon government structured promotion of a particular religious viewpoint; but upon the faith freely exercised in homes and churches throughout our blessed land of religious and secular liberty.
