Religious Training In Public School?

Yup.

Facts are facts.



1.Many make the mistake of believing that religion is not allowed to be imparted, imposed, authorized, or even allowed, in public school. There could hardly be a greater misapprehension! Only one religion is strictly forbidden, and punished when observed, and that is the religion of our Founders, the Judeo-Christian faith.
Consulting the Merriam-Webster Dictionary will inform as to the definition of religion, including “a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.”
Most graduates of government school leave with a deep and abiding faith, one that is infused in school. It is a fairly recent version, Militant Secularism.



2. Faith is defined as complete trust or confidence in someone or something, and Faith is the key in understanding what a religion is.
And faith
requires no proof or objective explanation. The simple proof that Militant Secularism is such a faith, simply ask any adherent….they will admit that they are if you use the phrase ‘Democrat’ in place of ‘Militant Secularist’…..to explain/defend several of the policies they voted for, and you will quickly ascertain that Democrats vote based on faith.

As questioning ones faith is not encouraged, most Democrats are unaware of their own conversion, and the less perceptive may even deny that they are of the religious cult of Militant Secularism.
Not even certain which of the denominations they belong to: communism, Fascism, Liberalism, Progressivism, Nazism or socialism.

[You may try to suddenly ask “have you accepted the nomenklatura as your lord and savior?”]




3. In any case, the old saying, “reality is defined by actions, not by words” applies. Admitting membership or not, they behave as Militant Secularists.
Let’s see where that takes us. To begin, keep in mind that ‘power over others’ is a sacrament of the faith, and this translates to the need to erase the other religion from the public space.


4. “Militant Secularists On The March: Pushing To Dominate A Biden Administration’s Agenda Trump appointees were harassed for their Christian views — now the Left is looking to actively reverse all the religious freedom gains that Trump’s administration fought for.

Now, they are looking forward to the resumption of duties by the same partisans who fought literal nuns all the way to the Supreme Court over a birth control mandate and fought hard to rescind the religious refugee status granted to the Romeike family.

Believing they now have allies in positions of power, the militant secularists are now on the march, demanding a rollback of that emphasis on religious freedom protections."
Militant Secularists On The March: Pushing To Dominate A Biden Administration's Agenda



It hardly seems fair that only their religion deserves the protections of the Constitution, protections that they have worked assiduously to wear away.
But.....'fair' isn't a requirement of Militant Secularism.
I am all for having a religious studies course in schools. The curriculum would be to learn about the religions of the world from an academic standpoint. This country would be 60% atheist after one generation.


We already do.....but only one, yours: the Satanic religion, Militant Secularism.
 
Yup.

No, they just have to convince you that theirs, Militant Secularism, isn't a religion.

It is.

Try to be more more perceptive during the coming year.


Start here:
"Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from birth what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government to do good."
Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Gee imagine that a politician doesn't like it when people are skeptical of the fucking government.

Religion and religious teachings are not the purview of the government.


It appears you are unable to post sans vulgarity.

Upbringing or a mental condition...a voluntary Tourette's?

here we go again.

I'll post what i want when i want. I don't care if you don't like what i have to say


I asked a question.....which is it?
Upbringing or a mental condition...a voluntary Tourette's?

and I answered you with a link to a study that states using profanity is not an indicator of any mental defect but rather quite the opposite.

MAybe it's you who need to worry about your own intelligence


So it's simply poor upbringing???


You're blaming your family???

That's not right.

I don't have any family.

I was orphaned at 14

You don't have the wherewithal to figure me out so stop trying.

And the use of profanity is no no way an indicator of lower intelligence or some other mental defect.

I know a lot of people a fuck of a lot smarter than you who can swear better than a sailor
 
Well, most folks I know who want religion taught in the public schools want Christianity taught in the public schools. Not Judaism, Islam, Hinduism; none of that. Just Christianity
Maybe because that is Christianity is part of a cultural heritage of the Western world.

Secularism is not a religion. Your lashing out like a petulant child with such meaningless slogans tends to reinforce a host of negative stereotypes attached to the hyper-religious.
 
First global victory of the devil was the proud separation of church and state.

The second global victory of the devil is public schools.

Once you don't get the news that there is a Christ, or you reject Him, even if under peer pressure, your life will no longer be anything but running up a down escalator.

What better way to implement universal slavery than making you believe that it is your government that is God. Jesus rejected this in the desert.

But Stalin of the Soviet Union said that "the antichrists are the real enemies of socialism and we believe that we have to fight a real struggle against real enemies".

I don't see the lack of Christian madrassah in place of public schools as a detriment. Angry, hyper-religious types such as the OP and perhaps you see things differently but we have a model for the type of society that you may want and it's been given a name: the Dark Ages.

I'm less inclined to believe that Devils or other boogeymen achieved anything with implementation of public, secular school systems.


The library of congress (link below), has an enormous catalog of early American history. It’s also important to remember that the framers of the Constitution were aware the early colonies of settlers were conclaves of religious intolerance, wherein a Baptist in one colony was safe, but a Roman Catholic was a criminal, yet in a different colony the reverse was true. This is completely unworkable and the Founding Fathers knew it.

The various sects of Christianity were completely at odds with one another as colonial states. Catholics couldn't live in one state, Quakers were executed if they went to another, Protestants were reviled in still others, and so on. These documents still exist. Anyone can research the laws of the original 13 colonies. It's amazing what one can learn.

"The priesthood have, in all ancient nations, nearly monopolized learning.... And, even since the Reformation, when or where has existed a Protestant or dissenting sect who would tolerate A FREE INQUIRY? The blackest billingsgate, the most ungentlemanly insolence, the most yahooish brutality is patiently endured, countenanced, propagated, and applauded. But touch a solemn truth in collision with a dogma of a sect, though capable of the clearest proof, and you will soon find you have disturbed a nest, and the hornets will swarm about your legs and hands, and fly into your face and eyes."

This is interesting. Socrates was sentenced to death / exile along the same lines too.

But what if truth is relative? Secular society seems to admit that. And in that case truth can have only two sources, good (God) and evil (the devil). It is then probably not a surprise that all religions suggest that all laws should come only from God and not a state.

They are actually recompiles Hinduism tales. The source of the information is a single source. And it encloses all religions.

I disagree that your versions of gods and devils exist. Therefore, I can't accept that there are exclusively two sources of truth. I agree that truth, morality and societal norms are relative. They always have been. Religions acknowledge that as well. No religious institution proves that more than the catholic church.

I would generally agree that religions would prefer all laws come only from a God or gods and not from the state. It is in their respective interests, rather the interests of the religion's ruling class, to place the religion in a position of ultimate authority. That proscription was a disaster for Europe during the Dark Ages and similarly, a disaster for the Islamic Middle East, currently.

No because religions argue that laws should come from the grace of God and not anywhere else. Otherwise you generate sin, which is logical.

The medieval age was a true attempt at this indeed. But when modern age stopped it, we ended up with even worse situations.

Most notably, that the number of laws are now so high that nobody can even count them.

Humans are not created to function is such environment, demons are. This is why it was always safer to put legislation in the hands of churches rather than secular institutions.
