Progressive Va. School Refuses To Play Sports With Icky Christian Kids

Speaking of crazed, hate-filled bigots... ^^^^^

 

[JoeB131]

Have you ever considered that the slavery of thousands of years in antiquity is not like the slavery we have seen in the last few hundred years?

No, it was probably worse.

The thing was, the Bible made a distinction between how you treated Jewish slaves and how you treated slaves you acquired from nations surrounding you. That Yahweh, always getting special perks for his peeps.

Maybe if you weren't so busy being a contentious prick you would know. Haters of Christianity are always enjoying their hate too much to actually inform themselves about the things they go on about.

Guy, I had to endure 12 years of wonderful Catholic Education. Now, the funny thing is, when I found these verses in the bible that seemed to contradict the Disney-fied version of the bible, I didn't get the logical (not really) discussions you talk about. I usually got a whack over the knuckles with a wooden ruler.

"Um, Sister, if Moses freed the Israelites from slavery, why are there rules for slaves in Torah?"

WHACK!

"Hey, it says here No Graven Images, so why do we have all these statues of the saints?"

WHACK!

But here's the reality.

God didn't change his mind on slavery. We changed ours.

In fifty years, all the churches will be denying they had anything to do with homophobia, too.

Multiculturalism is about culture. MULTI CULTURALISM.


THe progressives at the one school, can't deal with the fact that another school has a different culture.


Multiculturalism has failed. Indeed, considering your response, one has to question whether it was ever meant to succeed.

Of what "culture" is ICS?

Some type of Evangelical Christian it seems. And the progressives cant' abide by it. It offends them and their bigotry.

Maybe Sheridan parents simply don't want their children exposed to evangelical bigots. Why can't they shield their children?

1. The irony that you would generalize that all evangelicals are bigots. You have the self awareness of a potted plant. A dead potted plant.


2. THe article discussed how they were not only NOT playing at the other's school, but had tactics to try to offend and harass the students when they came to play at their school.


3. That you support this bigotry, is further proof that multiculturalism is dead, if it was ever real to begin with.

So how can Sheridan parents keep their kids from coming into contact with ICS kids?

However they want. Just don't pretend they are doing anything but being bigots.

I guess "can't we all just get along" isn't going to work anymore.


Progressive Va. School Refuses To Play Sports With Icky Christian Kids

The school in question did not go out of their way to advertise their viewpoints, they were thrust into the limelight because Pence's wife had the audacity to work there, and the media decided to make them a "Christians bad" story.

I particularly like these parts:

So they asked to hold all the games on their home court, because, you know, uncomfortable, and then the person said they would go out of their way to make the other schools kids be uncomfortable as possible.

What a display of doublethink.

Why expose school children to a bunch of bigoted fucks.

Because maybe they can learn to deal with people who disagree with them instead of trying to ruin or shun them?

That they learn that their views are not the be all end all?

Ignoring bigotry is not the answer. There is no putting up with bigotry, hatred, and racism.

So basically all religious people either have to ignore their religion or go into camps?

If they use it as an excuse to be bigots, yes.

Christianity does not exclude gay people, neither do Christians.

Christianity as a whole sees homosexual behavior as sinful.

 

[martybegan]

Because it is over something a simple as playing someone else in an established high school basketball league.

You show up, you play, you leave. There is no endorsement of ideas, no agreement to a position, no acceptance of anything except play basketball.

Seems like each school is standing by their principles to me. If the prog school doesn't want to play with the Xtians then so be it. IE. Not. Important. Outrage over nothing.

The thing is the Christian school's team isn't enforcing any qualifications on any other team.

Stop trying to link admittance policies with being on the court at the same time, in a given place.

None of that is relevant. The Xtian school has been boycotted by the prog school for either good/bad reason or no reasons at all. Speculation beyond the facts is a fool's errand.

It is all relevant. If you actually read the link, it would explain the progressive schools "reasons" for not wanting to play at the Christian school.

Note they offered to let both games be played at the progressive school, and insinuated the christian school players would be mocked mercilessly.

To quote the Stones: "You can't always get what you want".

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[martybegan]

You are again confusing the basketball court with the school's mission statements, and by extension their admission and employment policies.

You need all to be on the same field, and they are not.

I'm not confused, Marty - and I've already addressed directly what my view is.

If this was a school that banned black folks - this would be an EXPECTED protest.

BUUUuuuuuUt,

Since society is so far behind in ridding itself of homophobia, this seems new and weird to do. It's okay, the Country is catching up! Same way they did on Marriage.

It's not weird at all, a person should not be Banned from some-place because of their legal sexual disposition, just like they shouldn't be banned because of their racial dispositions. It's prehistoric to accept this level of bigotry, or to dignify it at all. Others using their 1st Amendment against it gives them a choice: learn from it, or continue down the broken path. Dispositions are our natural state of being, and when they're not criminal and infringing on anyone - casting them out is a disgusting thing to do. ESPECIALLY if they're children, it's actually pretty disgusting!

That is your opinion, and the opinion of the left. Plenty of religious people still see homosexuality is as sinful. Do not mistake tolerance for acceptance, and do not assume tolerance will continue if acceptance is forced.

The progressive school's leaders are using children for political purposes, which is the only disgusting thing going on.

Protest is not force.
Law and violence is force.

They did it the right way, and you don't like their Opinion.

Your opinion is just as great as anyone else's - but Racists are typically shunned, fired, booted and not taken very seriously and so will go the same for homophobes. It's progress, and our acceptance of others and no longer burning them at the stake can be directly correlated on a graph with our drastic reduction in Violence.

Have you seen this?

The statistics are actually pretty great. Sorry if you're old and had to go through that whole 80s thing but - it's much safer per capita today.

When you use the bully pulpit of opinion, when you shun anyone that doesn't agree with you, you are using force. Stop trying to kid yourself.

The right way would have been to wear a patch, or hold up signs and such. Refusing to play, and by extension making the league choose between schools is force.

Sorry, but unless you eliminate every single mainline religion, or change them into things not remotely the same as they are now, then you will not get people to accept homosexualty as normal.

"bully pulpit of opinion?"

Like banning someone. That's using force.

Choosing not to dignify it is a different means to expose how absurd the discrimination is, and it's a non-violent and non-forceful way to do it. That's wisdom. Guys like YOU existing makes it Courage, as well.

The fact is, the Team forfeits. They lose the game, they win the point against Bigots and the trends point to them being correct in the History books as well.

Try not to lash out about their opinions, so hard.

It's not courage when the prevailing winds are progressive, it's being part of the groupthink.

When you shun or ostracize people, when you taunt them, that this force.

Be careful, G.T. is a wibble baby that can't handle mean words thrown is his direction.

You will end up with a G.T. Puddle from all the melting....

Thats rlly weird, Marty.

You guys are really emo....seriously!

And you are a sock of some other progressive loser, which one I have not determined yet.

And as for the emo thing. 2003 called, it wants its insult back.

I've been here for 10 years and have never been banned once. You're a really different kinda weirdo, huh?

9.5 years. try to be accurate.

wow

Be moar accurate next time. PI isn't "around 3"

 

[martybegan]

^ THAT wasn't 3rd grade at all, and wasn't a waste of time either! And neither is THIS!

/derp

That's every bit as true as your delusion that you're a decent person.

You don't know me, Cecilie, but if your benchmark for judging a human's overall moral framework is a debate over a messageboard - then I WOULD speculate that you should re-evaluate your broken thought processes.

You're still not addressing anything directly, but you're more than happy to play your hand against strawmen.

Still Neanderthal bigoted garbage . . . although I will admit that your cross-burning is probably a bit more "on-the-nose" than your Klan forebears.

Whenever you get opposable thumbs, primitive, you will let me know, won't you?

Be careful, G.T. is a wibble baby that can't handle mean words thrown is his direction.

You will end up with a G.T. Puddle from all the melting....

This from a one thast runs to the moderator to get you banned.

The only time I inform mods is when people break the rules, and usually I warn the person to delete the post or correct it before I do.

Rules are rules.

Frankly, the league should inform Bigot High School that if they do not show up to the game where and when it has been scheduled, they will forfeit the game to their opponents. I believe that is the standard rule in high school leagues for no-shows.

It depends on what type of people run the league. If they are also SJW idiots they will find some way to let the progressive school off the hook.

It's a given that they forfeit, Cecilie. That's what makes it a principled stance - because the parents of the Christian school kids need someone else to teach their kids basic principles of anti discrimination in society. That's really sad, too.

And yet the progressive school people are discriminating against the christian school.

Two wrongs only make a right in the addled mind of the progressive.

 

[martybegan]

you get what you deserve. All you do is word games and circular arguments. you try to justify bigotry due to bigotry with a straight face, and you ignore any point you know weakens you argument.

The only thing left is to try to figure out who's sock you are.

The argument that is circular is yours, by saying school x's bigotry is more noble than school Y's, because snowflake. The lack of coherence is actually pretty gross.

Bullshit. Fighting bigotry & stupidity is not using children, it is protecting them from bigots & zealots like you.

No, it's using props for your own addled agenda. Own up to it, snowflake.

I don;t agree with abusing women so I should just stand back & say nothing.

Funny chit coming from the anti-abortion crowd.

Strawman argument. Battery is an actual crime. not hiring people at a school with a specific charter that don't follow your charter is not.

and you follow up with another off-topic statement.

Kids learn to be a bigoted fuck like you. Sorry, but if we want to learn to live together all you are doing is forcing this country towards a reckoning that cowards like you will not end up seeing the end of.

GUy, you backward ass bible thumpers are the ones on your way out, not the rest of us... You guys are on the wrong side of history on this one. future generations will be explaining you away like you have to explain away the guys in the Klan robes.

Two wrongs only make a right in the addled mind of the progressive.

So, the Christian school is WRONG for their discrimination now? Can I mark you down for that in virtue of saying "two" wrongs?

In your view they are wrong, and then you go with the wrong of being passive aggressive ninnys.

But you see it as a "right" which makes you a passive aggressive ninny enabler.

If I had kids I wouldn't send them to either school, but that doesn't mean I want to make the schools change what they do.

I don't want to MAKE anyone do ANYTHING - it seems your Authoritarian bent is the one who wants to MAKE kids play a game because you disagree with their form of protest.

When you support boycotts like this, of course you are trying to MAKE people change. And it never ends there. It goes from this, to petitions to the league to kick out the Christian school, to lawsuits to make them change their hiring practices.

The argument that is circular is yours, by saying school x's bigotry is more noble than school Y's, because snowflake. The lack of coherence is actually pretty gross.

You are again confusing the basketball court with the school's mission statements, and by extension their admission and employment policies.

You need all to be on the same field, and they are not.

I'm not confused, Marty - and I've already addressed directly what my view is.

If this was a school that banned black folks - this would be an EXPECTED protest.

BUUUuuuuuUt,

Since society is so far behind in ridding itself of homophobia, this seems new and weird to do. It's okay, the Country is catching up! Same way they did on Marriage.

It's not weird at all, a person should not be Banned from some-place because of their legal sexual disposition, just like they shouldn't be banned because of their racial dispositions. It's prehistoric to accept this level of bigotry, or to dignify it at all. Others using their 1st Amendment against it gives them a choice: learn from it, or continue down the broken path. Dispositions are our natural state of being, and when they're not criminal and infringing on anyone - casting them out is a disgusting thing to do. ESPECIALLY if they're children, it's actually pretty disgusting!

That is your opinion, and the opinion of the left. Plenty of religious people still see homosexuality is as sinful. Do not mistake tolerance for acceptance, and do not assume tolerance will continue if acceptance is forced.

The progressive school's leaders are using children for political purposes, which is the only disgusting thing going on.

Bullshit. Fighting bigotry & stupidity is not using children, it is protecting them from bigots & zealots like you.

No, it's using props for your own addled agenda. Own up to it, snowflake.

It is you defending bigotry, as usual.
