Exactly like come on people. You can't try to silence us and then use God's Word as a basis for your actions. That's so hypocritical.

Every non religious person. Like you can have religion at home and at church but don't bring it into politics and the public sector.

True but it's a way of silencing religion. It's a roundabout way of doing it so it's not direct.

Bringing religion into government has long been a way of silencing minorities and LGBTQ individuals.

... as well as silencing rapists and murderers and thieves, etc.

Like it or not, religion provides the the moral template from which our law - and everyone else's - is derived from. It also guides the cultural mindset, which is why ours is capable of evolving while certain others (guess which) remain ossified in ways that groups not exactly comfortable with the status quo would be mortified - and at times in terms of the original literal meaning of that word.

Our goverment didn't silence them, in fact, it enshrined their freedom to speak as a, um, God given right.

In the meantime, other countries have more corporeal means of eliminating them in accordance to their beliefs. Mind you, such beliefs and the resulting oppression is not exclusive to deist influenced goverments, as the brutal repression of atheistic communist countries has amply displayed.

Very true.

Upvote if you get my joke...

A good majority of the leftist elite in Hollywood, the federal government, Islamic culture in general, most of the mainstream media, and local state governments such as California.

Outside of that, no silencing anywhere.

A government, or an entity or group that supports Islam, does not support Christianity. When homosexuals force a Christian baker out of business because he wouldn't cater a gay wedding (which he had every right to do), that's being silenced. It is an infringement on an individuals religious beliefs.

The real logical conclusion to moral relativism is for one's moral basis to be far different than the others. Otherwise, Christian Conservatives and Muslim Conservatives would all be killing those with different views.

Moral relativism claims that there is no right and no wrong. If nothing can be wrong then any action is permissible.

Nietzsche followed his philosophy to its logical conclusion by inflicting himself with syphilis and going insane. Hitler suscribed fully to nietzsche's philosophy and we all know what happened there. (Funny side fact: They were both Austrian but hated to be associated with it and wanted to be called German.) Stalin got mixed in with an anarchist group that fed him nietzsche's works when he was in seminary, which partly caused him to drop out (the other main reason was money.) Again, we all know what he did next.

Oh, I agree. But that just means they aren't abiding fully to their world view. If a moral relativist leads a moral life it's because they are mixing it with parts of the Judeo-Christian morality that they agree with and find in the society in which they live.

To be fair, an equal comparison is when a Christian sins. He or she is not living up to their own standards. And let me be the first to say that I am a terrible Christian. Just look at some of the memes I made. But I digress.

The point I am trying to make is; when you radicalize a moral relativist, you get an anarchist and a murderer like Stalin. When you radicalize a Christian, you get a Saint like Francis of Assisi.

No. I'm sorry but there is absolutely nothing Christian about what they did. Even though abortion is an inherent evil, so is murder, in the same degree of evil.

Taking Bible verses out of context in order to prove a point is called proof texting and is an abuse of Scripture.

Then there would logically be nothing Muslim about ISIS.

Other than they call themselves Muslim.

And the Christian terrorists Octavia mentioned call themselves Christians.

The Koran COMMANDS its followers to wage jihad on infidels and to kill them.

Also, referring to Christians committing acts of violence in the name of... excuses NEITHER Christian NOR Moslem.
If it's wrong, it's wrong, same standard. Using the wrong of one body to turn another's into right is merely openly utilizing hypocrisy as a manner of justification. Such duplicity does not make for a logical and cogent argument.

I hear this from the left all the time. Christian Conservatives aren't killing anyone.

Obviously because jailing people for homosexual intercourse is so much better.

Who's jailing gays for homosexual intercourse? Homosexuality and gay marriage is legal in every state.

I'll say it again, Christian conservatives aren't killing anyone. There are no federal and state laws that are putting homosexuals to death in this country. And the individual Christians that want these laws in place, I would question their faith quite extensively.

Jesus Christ preached forgiveness and love for every individual, those living in sin or not. Someone claiming to follow Christ's teachings and don't follow it, are quite questionable.

This is fake news. Did they run in yelling deus vult or? Did they proclaim Jesus says this is ok or?

Go to vatican city and tell the civilians youre gay.

Then go to Saudi Arabia and tell them you're gay.

Actually go to a mosque and tell them you're gay and ask to go in.

Then go to a church and tell them you're gay and see if they let you in.

But both religions are equally as horrible...

I really wish I knew you in real life, id drive you around the city and prove to you what you know is true, but are scared to except.

Eh.. one look at me and they'd be burning me on the stake. :P

On a scale of 1-10 how disappointed is your family in you.
Honestly.

Not disappointed. 1. Why this guessing that my family is disappointed in me?

I'm sure they are. Thanksgiving or Christmas get togethers. All the whispers and knowing the laughter is toward you.
Must be hard knowing you're a joke.

LOL!! I love watching someone tear a troll a new one!

“Bible reading and prayer in school is a clearly unconstitutional entanglement of government and religion”. First of all, the constitution does NOT say anything about prohibiting Bible reading or prayer. The 1st amendment says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
This nonsense about “separation of church and state” is not in the constitution and leading students in prayer or teaching principals from scripture is not establishing religion. The supreme a court may have interpreted the constitution this way but it is not “clearly” unconstitutional as you say.

Intelligent design is banned from schools because our education system is overrun by liberals who are afraid if students learn about other possibilities besides theories like evolution and the Big Bang, they might have a hard time convincing them that scientific theory is fact and cannot be questioned. Ironically they purposely withhold such information from their students in an environment where information should be shared and explored.

As for cause and effect, the same thing can be said about global warming. They use data showing increases in temperature coinciding with increases in carbon dioxide and say “see, man made carbon dioxide is causing global warming”. Meanwhile they conveniently (pun intended) forget about past periods of global warming that happened long before industry and automobiles were producing greenhouse gasses. But since the data fits their agenda, it’s talked about as if it’s an undisputed scientific fact. So, if you want to believe that the elimination of religious beliefs and morals from public education has nothing to do with the increase of people killing themselves and others as if there is no consequence, go ahead. But don’t try to chalk it up to “logical fantasy.”

There's no use in arguing with Octavia melody about Islam. He thinks thousands compared to 2 are the same and equal problems. He's what I call a liberal atheist pussy. He's all good with saying f**k Christians, news, etc, but when it comes to the obviously evil death cult of islam he can't help but to call you a bigot. He's a fake ass wussy agnostic. No balls.

Yes, Octavia seems to know everything. Maybe that’s why he’s so ignorant.
“The greatest enemy of learning is knowing.”

Great one.
What was the Reagan quote?
"its not that liberals are stupid, it's just that they know so much thatbisnt so."
I'm so sick of the left forcing their crackpot ideas on us, meanwhile telling mebmine don't matter. In 5 years Octavia will be lecturing us about how natural paedophilia is.

You just think you do...

That's fine bud. I actually feel bad for you. You drive a truck for 28-29 days out of the month and post on imgflip.
Congrats you have no life.

Carbon dioxide isn't even really a greenhouse gas. It cannot trap heat. The real greenhouse gas is water vapor, but there is no way that environmentalists can convince people that water is bad (unless "Idiocracy" comes to fruition and they start to think water is just for the toilet). And I can't tell you how many times I've run into people who confuse carbon dioxide (CO2) with carbon monoxide (CO) and think it's toxic.

And because so many children were never taught about prayer and Biblical principals, like the sanctity of life, in the home or at church the past 50 years, we’re beginning to see the results of generations of people who don’t believe there is any postmortem consequences for how they lived their life and treated others. People who might have known better had these principals been taught and practiced in school like they used to be.

The secular education system teaches that murder is against the law and holds consequences of prison and in some cases capitol punishment . . . if you get caught. But when you’re severely depressed or psychotic and want to end it all — having never really been taught about God and how to communicate with him and about post mortal life or the final judgement — all you need to do is make sure you never get caught (I.e. kill yourself).

That’s all I’m saying about the removal of “religious” teachings from public education and the increase of murder suicides.

Yes, and more and more parents seem to totally rely on public education to teach and raise their kids for them. Thus, mor and more people grow up without these teachings ant never teach them to their kids. So, the cycle continues.

The number of people who attend church services regularly decreases every year. The government can’t expect parents and churches to take over teaching moral principals when they refuse to do it in public schools. It sends the message that religious values are not really important or just plain wrong to “brainwash” our children with.

Why must morals be taught from the Bible? Why can't children develop morals for themselves? Many atheists, in fact most atheists, have been proven capable to be moral without religious values set in place for them. If children are capable of developing their own moral senses, then it proves how intelligent a child can be without "God" guiding them.

"The number of people who attend church services regularly decreases every year."

That's because church costs money.

"The government can’t expect parents and churches to take over teaching moral principals when they refuse to do it in public schools. It sends the message that religious values are not really important or just plain wrong to 'brainwash' our children with."

Public schools aren't censoring religion. The Constitution states that public schools shouldn't teach children about God by mentioning that there is no official religion to the United States. It doesn't send the message that religious values aren't important (even though they really aren't), it sends the message that people of other religions exist and are humans too, and don't want to be forced to hear about the Bible while trying to learn.

Aheistic childen do not form their own moral values, they adopt them from the larger culture, which here is Christian. The similarity is not accidental.

atheistic*

I’m not talking only about morals. Specifically about God and the Judement after death. That is not taught in school and children (and most adults) don’t develop this knowledge themselves.

Education costs money too. Money isn’t the reason people don’t attend church worship services.

When public schools are not allowing teachers to teach about God or the Bible, that’s censorship. Teachers aren’t allowed to teach from the Quran, Tanakh, Book of Mormon, etc. Teaching involves more than just reading from a book. It also requires practice and example. People don’t usually learn how to pray by reading a book on their own. The learn by participation, not by having a moment of silence.

"I’m not talking only about morals. Specifically about God and the Judement after death. That is not taught in school and children (and most adults) don’t develop this knowledge themselves."

One can gain morals for themselves by not going to church. If one develops their own moral conscious, they are already stronger than the one who depends on a God to hold a morale.

"Education costs money too. Money isn’t the reason people don’t attend church worship services."

Churches, however, don't pay taxes.

Public schools are by definition, for the people, not just for Christians. Imagine how atheists, Muslims, or Jews would feel if they were forced to have a Christian prayer. I have been in a public prayer before, but have never felt a connection or any sort of contact with a supernatural being.

"Why can't children develop morals for themselves?" Um, yeah. That's like saying children don't need to be raised by parents. That would make children the perfect prey for predators who want to twist the children's easily-molded minds to suit the predators.
Church costs money? You can attend for free. Donating is voluntary.

Mass shootings in america have increased mainly because of transexuals.

Why so much hate?

Why not?

XD XD

And thank you for commenting on my 'politically incorrect' meme. That dude is frightenly odious. I hope the country isn't saddled with his ilk in the future. :P

;) I began to realize I was turning into Really F#cking Arrogant Ken so I dropped commenting to him, even though he's up-and-down my notifications this morning. I said enough as it was. Most of it got downvoted into 'low rated comment' anyway. I did upvote your last, very perceptive, picture comment. :)

I had to search to find this. You've been offending lots of troglodytes, O_M. :D

Lol. Thanks <3

I'm sure you treat everyone equally and fairly there. Maybe "Farmland" can learn how their management uses social media. Enjoy the rest of your shift!

She's surrounded by the meat of her political generation. XD

The meaty situation wasn't a real secret. imgflip.com/i/1trhyk

Yeah - the pathetic gasps of a 'dotard' generation. :D

My major was History, and I know history is a b!tch.

Your dotard parents must be so proud to have raised you.

Due to their dotage they knew when this country was strong and why. And they're not fooled by the rantings of billionaire fool and his undereducated personality cult.

Lol.

“The Conservative Millennial” Allie Stuckey. Dumbness!

Yup, we need God and intelligent design to be in education to stop mass murders.
