Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by T And T Garage on 10/25/18 at 07:03:32 Before you go believing that it's the end of the world, look at the parents of those kids. Let's hold them somewhat responsible. |

School is not where you should expect your kid to be taught right and wrong. That's what parents are for. That's their job, not a teacher's. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/25/18 at 15:02:48 Ohhh, but SEX, that is for school.. Let's learn about anal sex today, boys and girls.. Ohh, wait, Eegore explained that. Parents just aren't up to it. Apparently, they aren't good at that whole Good vs. Evil thing either. Schools are screwed up with idiots and ZERO tolerance stupidity. Unable/Unwilling to deal with bad behavior. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by raydawg on 10/25/18 at 15:07:20 Yeah, I agree with TT...... I want no bible teaching, by teachers, in school....... This is clearly a separation of state/religion in PUBLIC SCHOOLS, issue. As to you anal humping Jog...... Yes, its part of the teaching of sex ed nowadays. Jog buddy.... You can NOT teach a person to be Gay..... Just like you can't teach a Bot, to reason. They got some deep down wiring in a circuit, that differs than ours, no can do.... ;D Now, would it be interesting if sciences can find a way to rewire that? Say a kid feels attracted to the same sex, but desires to be hetro, and wants the necessary treatments and counseling, to accomplish a sexual preference change..... :o |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/25/18 at 15:12:23 Teachers didn't teach us. But today, there is a hostile environment in schools for Christians. I know what the separation between church and state is. It's Not eliminating everything Christian from school. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by raydawg on 10/25/18 at 15:18:00 Its black and white Jog......legally. You can't let one preference/belief have any gray, or you open the door to hostility. Look, its like legal, or illegal, immigration. Look at the libs trying to have it both ways...... A law is friggin useless, if its not 100% adherence. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/25/18 at 15:51:21 Separation of church and state The state can't tell you what to believe. Can't create a church. The notion that Christians can't use a school for a Christmas themed play is BULLSHIT. |

So many parents out there are lazy and honestly, don't deserve kids. Getting a kid through school takes nearly as much effort from the parent as it does the kid. If that's not the case, you're doing something wrong. |

Yeah, it is actually. We don't need kids to be taught about Christianity in schools if they're not all Christians. Hey, maybe here in Chicago, with our huge Jewish population, we should begin teaching the Torah?.... Or better yet, since there's a large Muslim population in Minnesota, maybe they should start teaching from the Qur'an? Yeah, somehow I don't think that's gonna fly. Parochial schools and church are where you send kids to learn about religion. School is for academics. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/25/18 at 16:19:55 Did I SAY eliminate the church/state separation? No. So, read my words Not Your ideas about my ideas. I Know of antichristian attitudes. Idiots argue against children expressing their religious beliefs in school, pretending that is against the separation clause. |

That's a completely different thing - a child expressing his or her view is not the same as teaching. Again, you have to make a distinction. |

Well - in this statement: "It's Not eliminating everything Christian from school." It sure seems like you insinuate that. The fact is, Christianity does not belong in a public classroom anymore than Judaism or Islam or any other. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/25/18 at 20:46:58 You chose to read it that way. I'm not surprised. You managed to pretend I was promoting CNN while I was pointing out the lies. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by Eegore on 10/26/18 at 05:23:04 Where does it say the children were Satanists? Kids can get ideas like this from vampire movies and books, I'm not sure murder and blood drinking are exclusive to Satanism. |

Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by WebsterMark on 10/26/18 at 09:27:40 I think that while the reason for the father's actions were sugar coated in the oped, the basic story is correct. and besides, I quickly found several stores about islam being taught in public schools where Christianity is not. There's a fairly well known case in Minnesota about a charter school, that if Christian, they would have been crucified for their actions. These stories are not hard to find, you either didn't look very hard or ........ |

Post by Eegore on 10/29/18 at 06:57:11 What I find interesting is that in most cases Christians are ok with a school teaching Christianity in exclusivity, but not ok if any other religion gets and extra day in a course curriculum. I remember when we had to remove all the religious material from the high school library and there was this uproar about removing bibles. Bibles are religious material, the ruling was that religious material be removed. What they really wanted was everything except Christian/Catholic bibles removed. Then it was this big ordeal when the religious material was brought back in about how bibles were removed and everything else was let in. Except the bibles were there, right with all the other material. Then it came down to book numbers, there was one more book about Buddhism than there were bibles, so that was a big deal even though it wasn't an issue that there were 4 more bibles than any other religion. So it was ok to have more bibles but not ok to have less bibles than any other religion. I feel that this is part of the problem, people want more of their religion and less of others, not exactly the same. Also some people refuse to allow exposure to other religions, which is fine for them and their kids, but why stop anyone else from learning something new? I have no data or references, this reflects my personal experiences and memories regarding religious materials in high school libraries that when compiled and posted represents my opinion. |

Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by WebsterMark on 10/29/18 at 07:42:46 Christianity and the United States are closely woven together. I'm not positive the success and growth of the USA would have been possible without the influence of Christianity on America. It's a long, difficult process to pull them apart. If you view the history of nations mostly Christian vs mostly Muslim vs mostly one of the various Eastern religions vs mostly secular, I think it's fair to say the mostly Christian nations have had the most positive influence on the world. But to be fair, when the world really began flourishing only a couple hundred years ago, Christianity dominated Europe and it was Europe who dominated the world so it's not like today. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by Eegore on 10/29/18 at 10:01:03 I agree with the European distribution of Christianity, however I do not necessarily think it was the religion that helped Europeans initiate The Age of Discovery, but more so the environment they came from. I think given the natural resources of the globe at that time that Europe would have began their expansion no matter what religion they mostly were, and spread. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by WebsterMark on 10/29/18 at 10:10:53 I don't think so. One evidence to support that is much older civilizations such as China and Japan did not dominate the world as the Europeans and mostly Great Britain, did. (it's the same question I would ask of native Americans, if the north American continent is so loaded with natural resources, why didn't they develop modern technology before the Europeans did?) For all it's faults and certainly there were many, Christianity was more liberating for the society. Sure, you can point to Galileo being destroyed by the Church but it was that same society that allowed the genius of Galileo to flourish in the first place. |

There are reasons for what happened and Worldviews matter. Muslim countries used to be much more influential however the Muslim faith defines God as one that is inconsistent. What I mean is that God can make what is cold today hot tomorrow. What is considered wrong today can be considered right tomorrow. Since there are no real consistency in God's nature they do not consider LAWS of science to be valid (Of course if they design a building they do follow the laws of physics. More pantheistic world views such as found in the Native Americans see Mother Earth as an autonomous thing which is not to be intervened upon. Their cultures never looked to such things because it would be an infringement of their purpose in nature. The Christian faith says God created the world and man was put into dominion over it. It also claims the unchangeable Nature of God. Therefore we have the Laws of Science and Physics along with God's permission to pursue science. I know that today it is believed that you can not mix science and the Christian faith (although I do not believe this) however it was the Christian faith that allowed scientist the path to science. |

" I recommend reading The Third Chimpanzee which provides a deal of insight regarding this. For instance European horses were considerably larger, and easier to tame and natural resource perception was considerably different. Nomadic lifestyles had more to do with conservation and natural travel than it did with religion. To clarify I am not saying religion had nothing to do with it, I am saying that religion wasn't the thing that made Europe capable of mass travel, enslavement and colonization before others.

Isn't it just a matter of saying that each scientific advancement, like living-donor liver transplants is just another thing God gave us the ability to do? Similar to the question of why God cures some ailments but not others, like cancer remission = God's Cure, but amputees have never grown back a limb so that's Gods Will. |

Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by raydawg on 10/29/18 at 13:46:51 I feel the answer in right in front of us, yet passed..... Not sure if I can advance my thoughts in a manner that represents anything remotely coherent in nature.... But I’ll try. Religion fails, with me being more familiar with the Judeo-Christian perspectives, is because folks to not adhere to its basic principles. It is not about the biggest church, organization, enfluncing, sway...no. And this I believe is why religion is under a perceived assault. Folks use their beliefs/religion, to govern and promote policies.... The very element our founders escaped from, and tried to write into our system of governance, to avoid that pitfall. Faith/belief, is a internal journey, that if used in the manner intended, your witness will be the cause in effect that invite others to investigate, join, in that understanding. It’s not self promotion, no, but self awareness with all our inherent faults and failings..... Using any religious doctrine to judge others, is asking for failure when those who preach it, don’t adhere to it themselves. You have just as much sin in the church, as you do out of the church, yet, so many in the congregation look past themselves, while faulting others who don’t proclaim their same faith.... Well golly gee.... Sounds like a parent who doesn’t work, drinks to excess, smokes, swears, while threatening his children with punishment if they do the same..... These folks have turned off folks to “God”. Is it any reason it seems false, a lie, hypocrisy? Then on the opposite spectrum, you have the “anti-religion” who want to force ANY religion out of society.... Preaching tolerance while promoting laws against expression, with adherence to their “moral” standards of equality as long as it’s the same as theirs.... But again, their power, or sway would be a non enitity IF folks used their religion to be a better person THEMSELVES, instead of trying to force it on others.... So much of what is happening around us is because we try and control it, when in all truth, we can’t even control ourselves. I will use a current event as example. Who, that has offered ANY advice, or critique, of the caravan coming up Mexico to the USA, leveling charges either way, of the handling, etc, has ever, sent money to organization that can help these folks so they would never have to do this in the first place? So much of life is spent reacting, only because we didn’t ACT, when we could have made a difference. But again, when it’s all about us, our own welfare, beliefs, etc, first.... Then what right do we have to deman anything, from anyone else? |

Africa is likely the most blessed continent as far as natural resources goes, but most of it is a giant $hithole for humanity. Unless you're comparing Antarctica, natural resources isn't a factor." Interesting outlook. I think the ability to acquire food, a natural resource, is applicable to the growth and expansion of human culture. Agriculture in early Egypt developing irrigation is an example. Mexico is almost exclusively Christian/Catholic and their economic situation isn't anything close development wise to Europe's Christian economic development. To say that in the time of Age of Discovery that food acquisition had zero bearing on human growth seems a bit of a stretch.. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by WebsterMark on 10/30/18 at 05:56:03 Then why didn't Egypt develop into the powerhouse that Great Britain did? Society is complex and and when looking at ancient societies, we're nothing but detectives trying to piece together a narrative based on clues in this case thousands of years old. It could have been a very simple singular event that caused one society to dominate or it could have been a series of unique events that could never again be duplicated. My thought is Christianity played a major role because religion was far more vital to every day life back then and the society that dominated was christian based so I see that as more than a coincidence. |
Title: Re: WTF is WRONG with people? Post by Eegore on 10/30/18 at 06:59:57 "Then why didn't Egypt develop into the powerhouse that Great Britain did?" I'd say its a balance of economic and natural resource, technology, social structure, weather patterns and geographical location. I believe if Egypt was primarily Christian that they would have had similar results based off of a comprehensive view, especially not removing the availability of water, or food, all natural resources. I'm not sure why natural resources should be completely removed from assessing any cultures ability to provide, and expand. By your assessment method if Egypt was geographically void of a fresh water supply, but Christian, they would have been capable of expanding as Great Britain did, considerably earlier in time (3050 - 30 BC compared to 1490–1522) because natural resources aren't part of the equation for geographical and societal expansion and influence. Or am I not understanding you correctly? |

Look at it this way, if human civilizations has been around 200-300,000 years, it's only been in the last couple hundred years where technology took a gigantic leap forward. For 99% of human history, we were barely above stone age when all of a sudden, boom! And that boom took place mostly in Christian nations. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. |

It does nothing but raise animosity against their own. The people in the caravans are the ones health enough to get here, they are the strong and they are able bodied. All those that really NEED your help are still there. The cost in the USA to support these few would take care of 100,000 if they stayed where they are at. These strong and able bodied people should be staying and helping the needy there instead of fleeing. They are not being killed. I am going to make a shameless pitch here but if you REALLY care about the people down there go to Chosen Children's Ministries web site and at least donate. You will never spend your money more wisely. One of the places we work at in Managua is the city Landfill. People live there, especially children. They sleep under boxes, they eat what they can find. We take them food and the Gospel. Food for the soul and the Gospel for the hope that someday they will find justice and not be forgotten. On one particular trip I met a woman and her three children. Her husband died and they had no family. There is NO GOVERNMENT HELP in Nicaragua so they live in the Landfill. The youngest was a little 4 year old girl that I wanted to stuff in my suitcase. We tried to get the government to let us build a home with showers and all out on the property but they will not allow it. Everyone on this site is RICH, just because you have a computer and internet service. I personally am not going to sit around, complain, and wait for someone else to do anything.

All I am saying is that I don't think religion is exclusively the reason why a society expands.
