When are WE the American People, going to stand up and DO something? This man and his team are NOT democrats nor republicans and not even “normal” liberals to the USA. They are acting like socialists and communists (indeed, he even has at least one proclaimed communist on his staff.) Now if they act like a duck, and quack like a duck, when are we going to treat them like ducks???

Fortunately, his support base IS catching on to his un-American policies, and his approval rating is below %50 now. I hope we nip this soon, rather than wait the 3 1/2 years remaining in his term.

Just my POV of course.

You know, that’s what makes this country different than all the rest. That’s what makes this country better than most, in many respects. Our faith in God and our dedication to Him. This country began it’s existence to do just that. One can live in any other country of their choosing, if they don’t like it.

I suppose, since you are against religion being taught in schools, and only wish to have scientific principles there, that you have contacted your congressman to protest the forced “becoming a muslim” weeks and also the teaching of evolution then? I surely hope so. I do hope you are true to your own beliefs.

(For intellectual discussions about science and God, click on the link Reasons.org.)

My main problem is that when people try to advocate teaching religion is schools, it is mostly associated as an alternative to science. I personaly find that in modern society the scientific knowlege is much more valuable in order to survive in a very intellectualy competative international setting, no matter how spiritualy and emotionaly fullfulling religion may be. When it goes right down to religion versus science then it really comes down to either the vast knowlege of what someone thinks how something can be explained, versus the limited knowlege of what someone knows can be explained. Alot of things in religion cannot be proven and many ideas and consepts can be abstract with multiple interpretations, and with the exception of scientific theories, all of science can be proven because the only way something can become a law in scince is that it can be proven without a shadow of a doubt.

If you want your children to learn religion there are also alternatives to public school that can get equaly as well of an education (if not better) such as private and catholic schools.

Your comments are exactly the proof that people have tolerance for everything else, just not Christianity. What the issue is IS that we are not allowed to share our faith even without hurting another, with regard to the “hate crimes” bill. How tolerant is that?

The time and place is here and now. America was founded to escape just such intolerances perpetrated upon the people in Old England. If we need another tea party, count me in!

“Hate Crime” is alot more serious then you seem to make it out to be. If someone say, discrimainates against a gay person because it goes against their Christian beliefs then I would consider that a hate crime, the same way as if someone were discriminating against someone for their race. If someone wrote the word nigger on a black person’s belongings that is a hat crime, the same way as calling someone a faggot because they are both offensive and derogitory terms. If someone says something that hurts your feelings then they should be confronted, not necessarily charged with any sort of crime, but it isn’t okay either.

Regardless of what you think is the truth there are no garuntees in this marvelous little planet we call earth.

In the contexts of Christianity, I believe that god created people of many different variety, black, white, asian, gay, straight, who are we to doubt God’s creation? To say something that he created in his own image to be an abomination?

“If we don’t fight these efforts to create “hate crimes” bills, then we will be corralled and not allowed to speak God’s truth, not allowed to share and help others lost in their sin, not allowed to show the love of God through Word”

There is a time and a place for everything. Some places are just not okay to share your beliefs with others. School is not a place, work is not a place, you will still have your freedom to share, but not in a way that is considered harmful to others. If someone cannot share their ideas without hurting someone then it is truely a sad world.

Okay, getting off of my soapbox now.
