Evangelical Leader Claims Teaching Kids Basic Science Causes Mass Shootings

[Penelope]

You must mean the Muslim God.

There is no muslim god to kick out.

The USA country was founded on freedom of religion, not the Christian religion, and we have a Separation of Church and State.

There is no separation of state in the Constitution but jeffersons letter should be observed.

The president of the US should not have a religious test, need I say more. Also the Constitution has no mention of a God in it.

The declaration did and justified a rebellion to secure God-given rights whereas the Constitution declares that its purposes are “to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.” These are wholly secular objects. The Constitution acknowledged religious sects but took no position on theology.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

The founders were wealthy men and they did not think the poor or black were created equally. If you try to overtake the government today, you'd be in prison.

Tony Perkins said children need to be taught about God so they don’t turn into murderers.

A right-wing evangelical leader on Sunday claimed mass shootings are caused by “driving God from the public square” and more specifically by teaching kids science such as evolution in schools.

“We’ve taught our kids that they come about by chance through primordial slime and then we’re surprised that they treat their fellow Americans like dirt,” Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, said on “Fox & Friends” one day after a gunman in Texas killed 7 and wounded 21 others.

He added:

“I think we have to go back to the point where we instill in these children, at least give them the opportunity to know that they’re created in the image of God, therefore they have inherent value.” ​

Perkins also claimed it’s impossible to have morality without religion, a view he noted was shared by George Washington.

Wow, that is some crazy shit. Maybe Perkins hasn't read the Old Testament. What do you think?

I think you're a nut. Your thread title is a lie, because he didn't say that.

 

[occupied]

If school shootings have any kind of common cause it's the horrible way that we treat the maladjusted social outcast. Churches have nothing to offer the kid that has come to think even God hates them.

Guns don't kill people, Charles Darwin kills people!

Evolution isn't basic science at all. It is just a theory that is not back up with facts. They just use it to fill in the blanks. and it does cause people to shoot one another. They will compare themselves to the ape, and think that they are an improvement from the ancestors. So they'll think that whatever discussing thing that they do, that It will be an improvement from their ancestors the ape.

Has anyone ever actually observed even a puddle of this 'primordial slime' you are claiming as a scientifically proven fact of '''basic science"? Just curious...

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Guns don't kill people, Charles Darwin kills people!

A culture that abandoned culture kills people.

That's what Perkins was talking about.

When you reject God and absolutes, "morality" becomes fluid.

 

[whitehall]

Where does the left find this stuff? He never said that, it's an interpretation by somebody name Ed Mazza. The preacher's point is that we need to teach kids morality. Maybe that shocks liberals.

When you kick God out, dope up your kids, break families.......devastation is the result. It will get worse.

The constitution doesn't have the word god in it.

It does contain a rule that there is to be no religious test for anyone who runs for or holds public office.

The declaration of independence isn't law in America.

The constitution and it's amendments are law in America. Nor does any law in America have to conform to the declaration of independence. It's not a legal document and we don't base any law on it nor does any court decide if any law conforms to it.

You should have learned this in grade school,

Perkins is an arrogant Christian demagogue, typical of far too many on the religious right.

So now it is the government's job to teach your kids about God? What the fuck, is there anything you do not think the government is the answer to?

For conservatives it’s about compelling adherence to Christian dogma using the power of the state, in violation of the Framers’ mandate that church and state remain separate.

They knew. They couldn't address this after defeating the strongest empire the world had ever seen. The country would not have survived.

And one of his points was that teaching about primordial ooze is factor in mass shooting b/c learning about it dehumanizes us. He doesn’t have any proof for that assertion at all. Besides, do you really want the government run schools teaching your children about God and morality? That’s more of the job for the parents and your church, no?

From Jefferson...and you should know this. Im not surprised though that you try to obfuscate such fact.

“I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.” This phrase became so famous that many have come to believe it is in the Constitution, though it is not.
