Re: I do have kids

It's an underground cult, you know that. I am not sure on what you can say, but I know what you can't say. Anyone who looks to take God out of nation is part of that cult. I am not saying that all atheists are this way. But most are, and they are forcing their Godless view on the rest of the nation. They fight for separation of church and state for all the wrong reasons, but make it appear they are fighting for the right reasons. The Godless liberal judges grant them their wishes.

If it's so underground, how is it able to control all the schoolboards and courts in the US?
I'm going to second mr. Omnivorous: Place your children in a private school of your choice!

Re: To clear things up a bit...
quote:
Stop taking Him out
You seem to be under the impression that religion was removed from schools by 'godless judges promoting an atheist agenda. This could not be farther from the truth.
Each and every state in the union has it's own constitution. The preamble of all mention god; then if you go down to the sections on education they specifically exclude religion from any public schools.
lets take new yorks preamble
WE, THE PEOPLE of the State of New York, grateful to
Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure its
blessings, DO ESTABLISH THIS CONSTITUTION
(bold not my doing)
now look at the amendment on education
3. Neither the state nor any subdivision thereof, shall use its
property or credit or any public money, or authorize or permit either to be
used, directly or indirectly, in aid or maintenance, other than for
examination or inspection, of any school or institution of learning wholly
or in part under the control or direction of any religious denomination, or
in which any denominational tenet or doctrine is taught, but the
legislature may provide for the transportation of children to and from anyschool or institution of learning.

Bold mine. So the judges are just ruling on what the constitutions of their states say.
quote:
Have you read the story about my kids school?
Yes , so take them out of there if it is failing to teach them in the way you feel is appropriate.
We did! Florida public schools are failing to teach Florida children.
Our Governor and legislation has decided that children need to be taught how to take one particular test. So 8 years ago we enrolled our oldest one in Clearwater Christian. When her sister started first she joined her. Now 16 and 13 respectfully I'm at least assured my daughters are receiving a proper education

It's up to the parents

When did I ever say religion was removed from schools?
First you answer my question. If your children are that important to you why don't you put them in a school that teaches them the way you feel is acceptable?

this is my country just as much as an atheist. I havge no problem if the schools teach about both. I pay a huge amount of school taxes, and our schools are fairly decent. I will teach my kids their faith, even if the schools omit it, and are Godless for the momment.
No this is all our country, not yours to act like a selfish oaf. It does not matter if you have a problem( where do they teach atheism exactly) with the schools teaching both, its what the laws of the country allow! Good teach your kids your cult of faith I don't care just stop trying to shove it down other americans throats! And you still failed to answer "why dont you,riverrat, place your children in a school of your choice"
ABE: I pay taxes also this still did not stop us from placing our children in a private school!
