"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

They can dish it out but not take it. Christianity has harassed, imprisoned and killed under their god. Now, they cry when the tables have turned. I don't support anyone being harassed or even killed for what they believe in but our past is our future and people seem to fail at learning what the true past was and what they need to do to change it so their future doesn't bite them in the backside. |

Quoting: Elsabiades.. 21143563 the downside is that has extended to the point where they don't even learn about religions so, most of the world is religious and we just pretend they aren't and the kids spend their lives sheltered within their own religions (save the minority who do learn about others for whatever reason) then become ignorant adults and we wonder why the population is ignorant about other cultures and religions DOH |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19980561 United States 08/04/2012 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT. Quoting: ICON 20242703 Tennessee Football This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee by school Principal, Jody McLeod "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country." Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK. I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable" Means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem... I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.." I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.." However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated. This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time. " However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM,in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so.. As far as I know, that's not against the law--yet." Always a battle between Good & Evil. |

In the world you will have tribulation... period. But I do agree, every religious one, even non-religious ones, even those that deny there are any Power That Be, all get stoned, eh, I mean, persecuted from one time or another.
