Texas Senate approves bills requiring 10 Commandments in K-12 classrooms, Bible time in school

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

When moonbat teachers teach on past cultures, do they eliminate the religions of those cultures from the curriculum?

Certainly they do if it was a Christian culture.

Bullshit! I taught social studies and we covered all cultures and religions.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No it isn't, Retard. Nobody is forcing Judaism on anybody. Nobody is forcing the consumption of an ancient temple religion. All the bill does is remind students of the impact the Bible has had on America's heritage.

Damn, you're a snowflake. Aaahhh! The Ten Commandments! My eyes! My eyes! They're burning!

Wrong again, but expected from your uneducated ass!

 

[konradv]

Exactly. Wicca was irrelevant.

Then perhaps, but the Constitution was written for ALL time.

 

[WEATHER53]

All it means is that government is not to establish government religion and has nothing to do with shielding us from religion

 

[Coyote]

And maybe if make pretend is put back where it belongs then reality can be restored

What...put people in prison because you don't like them...?

 

[Coyote]

Was wicca part of America's heritage?

Yup. Our heritage is an amalgram of all that passed before is.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

.


Yeah, we know.

[DudleySmith]

Then why the need to FORCE the 10 commandments into every classroom?

Again, I don't think conservatives understand what liberty means.

Spoiler Alert: its not forcing someone else to do anything.

lol so why do you deviants and pagans need to force schools not to hang them? As the Establsihment clause clearly states, no govt. can make such a law. I doubt you see the cognitive stupidity of your argument, since you're just here to peddle deviant bullshit.

 

[DudleySmith]

Yup. Our heritage is an amalgram of all that passed before is.

I don't doubt Wicca gibberish was a key part of yours.

 

[DudleySmith]

I do see how the relationship between some Christian denominations and capitalism has tainted both their religion and politics.

Actually it was atheists in the 19th Century who tried to invoke 'Social Darwinism' as a sort of faux pseudo-intellectual rebuke of Christian values as they pertained to Wall Street and corrupt business practices. J.P. Morgan and his peers hired Herbert Spencer and others to run around touting up how the robber barons were really just superior to 'everybody else' and that's why they were rich; it was ll in their genes and stuff. Some of the churches that catered to wealthy and middle class neighborhoods had deacons who would hire and fire pastors and ministers who didn't see fit to see 'prosperity' of a few their way.

It didn't really work outside of urban areas, and there was always a divide between rural and urban values, and rural voters could rein in the excesses of urban corruption statewide, if not in the big cities. That check on urban corruption has of course largely disappeared, right along with Christian values, and the slide into absurdity, paganism, and the arrival of Biden and the new American banana republic we have now.

One example of the war on Christians was the 'flat earth' myth, enthusiastically babbled by dumbass 'rationalists' as if it were historical fact.

Myth of the flat Earth - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

According to Stephen Jay Gould, "there never was a period of 'flat Earth darkness' among scholars, regardless of how the public at large may have conceptualized our planet both then and now. Greek knowledge of sphericity never faded, and all major medieval scholars accepted the Earth's roundness as an established fact of cosmology."[5] Historians of science David Lindberg and Ronald Numbers point out that "there was scarcely a Christian scholar of the Middle Ages who did not acknowledge [Earth's] sphericity and even know its approximate circumference".[6]

At least Stephen Jay Gould wasn't on board that shit train. All the Wall Street swindlers and thieves were, though.

Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell says the flat-Earth error flourished most between 1870 and 1920, and had to do with the ideological setting created by struggles over biological evolution. Russell claims "with extraordinary few exceptions no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the Earth was flat", and ascribes popularization of the flat-Earth myth to histories by John William Draper, Andrew Dickson White, and Washington Irving.[2][7][8]

The connections between 'Social Darwinism' and Richard Hofstadter's large influence on modern liberalism are strong, leading to the notion that 'big is better' that grew in both liberal economics and on Wall Street, that in turn led to the great drive to replace industrial capitalism and free markets with financial capitalism in the early 1960's, followed by the advent of conglomerates and the 'too big to fail' phenomenon already set in stone by the end of the 1970's, and we now have the absurd reality of recessions and depressions leading to massive inflation, thanks to the huge bailouts of banks and shareholders in every big industry; these bailouts began in the 1960's. Meanwhile we still have tards here claiming burger flippers and food stamps are causing inflation. They're full of shit, same as the left wingers are.

Yep. Textbooks common to all primary schools included the Bible, the New England Primer, and the McGuffey Readers, which imparted to students a knowledge of Presbyterian Calvinistic beliefs and manners well into the middle of the nineteenth century.

Actually 20th century.

Sounds like a very good idea that hopefully more states will get back into as well to help quell this cycle of stupidity, crime and violence spurred nationwide by the democraps.

Unconstitutional. Florida did this when I was teaching there. It was quickly removed.

 

[toobfreak]

Unconstitutional.

Everything today is unconstitutional so total BS.

You were removed from teaching in Florida more likely.

 

[Leviticus]

Such a law would blatantly violate the 1st amendment.

 

[Leviticus]

It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for Texas to instruct the students on this.

I suppose the politicians just want it posted, not actually taught.

That would still be unconstitutional. The government is not allowed to pass any law that promotes a single religion as an official religion. Requiring that Christian dogma be displayed in public Schools would obviously violate that.

 

[lennypartiv]

The small government party indeed.....ready to criminalize your fashion choices.

American men have no business wearing dresses.

Hate to break it you moonbat snowflakes, but the US government has always favored Christianity.

 

[WEATHER53]

What...put people in prison because you don't like them...?

Is that what you said?
Lib tricks of misquoting posts and then asking for a “defense” does not work on this thinker.

It’s impossible to misquote that deliberately vague and open to interpretation.
