In the News II

Quote: AZDuffman

We are not an atheist country. Far more absurd stuff is forced on kids. But my point is if you want to call out something as taliban you had better be prepared to be called out on it.

You are correct, we are not an atheist country, we are a secular country.

If taliban behavior is going to be pointed out I’m going to point it out also.

How are removing public statues violations of religious freedom? Please explain.

These will be enforced by the school board, so a combo of state and local dollars. This will be in no way privately funded.

Do you think the 10 Commandments are a religion?

New regulation requires every classroom in the state from grades 5 through 12 must have a Bible and all teachers must teach from the Bible in the classroom, according to the state school superintendent.

If they do that, they will have to do the same for the Koran.

"I've said it many times: Islamophobia has no place in our nation. Yet Muslims in the United States frequently endure baseless fearmongering, blatant discrimination, harassment, and violence in the course of their everyday lives." - Biden responding to the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic riots which continue following the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas who took 240 hostages and killed 1,164 people.

Activists have perverted the suffix "-phobia" , changing it from the meaning "fear" to the meaning "hate" ... which is what they mean here

if it still meant 'fear' I'd say Islamophobia is quite rational and we are suffering from not enough of it

Yes, of course, they are 100% religious tenets. But, I was mostly focused on the mandatory bibles, which is also 100% religious.

So you are saying atheists do not believe in shall not murder or steal those are just things religious people believe?

Did all the various religions just stop teaching the commandments as part of their religion?

If true, fascinating.

You might have trouble with getting an atheist to believe in "“I am the Lord your God" and to not have other gods, and the whole graven image thing, the name in vain thing, and what exactly is a secular sabbath day?

And is it only Jews and Christians who believe in not murdering or not stealing?
