Get Enforced Atheism Out Of Our Schools

Toogood Reports ^ | 11/07/01 | Isaiah Flair

[Dr. Octagon]

Secular Humanism is a non-deistic religion. Feminism is the religion of gyncentricity.

And actually, I'm an eight-sided figure with a medical license.

Kidding, kidding, kidding.

If schools taught children what to believe, our society would turn into somewhat of a communism.

If...govt. schools taught children...USSC requires EVOLUTION only---that ain't an IF---how about...is only taught our society would turn into communism?? How about an occult social workers/union label state---NAZIS!

[Dr. Octagon]

And the Nazis were left-wingers: socialists in favor of totalitarian govt. control, centralized.

I say if you don't like whats going on in the public schools, get involved and change them! If the atheists and moral relativists were able to change them from what they were, then we should be able to change them back!

[Antoninus]

Wow, you've been so out-classed and out-gunned on this thread it's really quite sad. I haven't seen such a FR pasting in a long time.

[Dr. Octagon]

"Out-classed and out-gunned!" A great phrase. And very true.

Idea: Get Environmentalism declared a Religion so that it cannot be taught in school.

Environmentalism is usually not based in science, it proposes a cohesive world view and an object of worship.

Eliminating Environmentalism's belief system from Public Schools would at least make the classroom neutral ground. Right now, Public Schooling is hostile to monotheism, and promotes the deification of the environment.

[Dr. Octagon]

Every philosophy, sociopolitical or otherwise, should be declared a religion. Else, everything deistic is trashed, and everything humanistic is "celebrated".

I thought is was particularly classy that people conceded the point -- schools are not enforcing atheism.

Give us a freaking break. I'm a Unitarian who hasn't been to church in over 20 years and I can see the hatred the government school establishment has toward religion. They may not promote atheism but they do try to undermine the faith parents wish to instill in their children.I suggest you take your "classy" and shove it up your upper west side subway. Say hi to Nadler for us.

Hehehe...Giddy-yap!

Hi Larry. I noted at the outset that we might be dealing with a bad argument for a good policy. I take it you want to endorse both halves of that claim, but you do so grudgingly. That's OK. Next time this comes up, I'll let you make that point first. That way maybe you won't feel like you're giving in.

[LarryLied]

I see you had you fill of BS too.

There is just so much song and dance, shucking and jiving, wondering about this and that, pondering the truth of anything and everything , considering how everyone does it or reveling about how nice it is that someone doesn't have a freaking rational thought in their head that people will take.

The left is cooked. They are done. They can call themselves this and that, pretend to be Libertarians, constitutional conservatives or rainbow painted apes, but their day is over.

[mlocher]

conservatism is about choice

yes it is. it is also about morals.

read it again: tough

so, you support state funded schools. you want the state to have a say in the curriculum and not parents. you want those who do not use state supported schools to still pay for state sponsored schools.

sounds like you with the liberals on this issue. how many other issues are you with them as well...?

[mlocher]

get involved and change them [public schools]

that is being done by my family, but it is a difficult battle when you are fighting a system.

to find the power, you follow the money. the money comes from the state, unfortunately. i can have some say in the schools, but to change the schools, the state has to change. a better solution is to get state funding out, although i could live with a voucher system.
