Jesus on the cross! Please stop. Please stop excusing and defending stupid just because it comes from your party. You're not helping this country or the people in it. We are not a country full of back woods,bush people who haven't learned because we're restricted from it..we're part of a world and our kids will not be able to sustain this country or it's greatness by teaching them stupid just because you're unwavering support of anything that comes from the idiot-extreme of your party. This kind of dumb is unacceptable in a world where the Chinese,Russians and Iranians would love to topple us.. and will in a dozen years if this is the education being given to the next generation..
so just stop.. it's fucked up, you know it.. now have the balls to say it.
Careful there, ekg... you're going to have a heart attack! Obviously the propagandist was brilliant in his work, because you have bought it. No one is excusing anything, no one is defending stupid. We're talking about a Christian school science book, that some godless schmuck ripped a page from, and concocted a clever smear piece from, and here you are like a gullible little puppy to lap it all up. No we're not backwoods bush people, we're apparently gullible dolts who will buy whatever some turdhead propagandist spews out, because it's easier for us to bash God than accept people believing differently than us.
The Republican party did not write this science book, again, it is a Christian school book, for Christians in Christian school. What you see me defending here, is the TRUTH, against a backdrop of hateful anti-religious bullshit. It's important for reasonable people to remember, this is a 4th grade science book, not a senior high school book. I guarantee you, I can go to ANY 4th grade science book, and find a single page to ridicule and mock, and I bet you it would be just as stupid sounding as anything you've presented here. Why? Because, in 4th grade, you are fucking illiterate of science! First through third grade, you learned to read and write, didn't study much science, because counting, reading and writing, are more important fundamentals. So we are seeing the first glimpse a student in a Christian school is getting of science. And again, we're given a single page to evaluate a whole book. But that's not a problem for a genius like you, right? Wye, you can read one page, and automatically know everything about the whole entire book, because you are just that fucking smart, right?
None of this has to do with our failing public education system. Christian schools are not responsible for that. In fact, when we look at grades and test scores, faith-based schools beat the living dog crap out of public schools. What? The propagandist didn't tell you that? Well, he also didn't tell you that every graduating senior in America has to take a test and pass it, in order to get a diploma. Seems like something this logical would have been mentioned. It doesn't matter if you used this book in 4th grade and went to Christian school, or another book in public school where the mention of God is forbidden, you still have to pass a basic aptitude test, including stuff on science, in order to graduate high school in America. Surely, you are smart enough to get that?
What's fucked up, is all the problems in the world, and you are focused on trying to tell people how they can worship in America. Why not stay the fuck out of the Christian schools business, and let them educate their children as they please, and you can do the same? Why do you feel compelled to stick your nose where it doesn't belong? You don't mind telling traditionalists to fuck off and let you do as you please, but you want to meddle in the affairs of Christians educating their own? Do you even comprehend how fucked up that is?
because that's what church is for.. if you want your kids to have both,send them to both.. you don't, dont... Some people don't believe in that religion so why force them to learn it? Unless of course you're also willing to force your kids to learn how the god Brahma, from a Trimurti of three Gods also including Vishnu and Shiva, is described as performing the act of 'creation', or more specifically of 'propagating life within the universe'* is also valid, but no..no you aren't, you want to teach what your God says..and to hell with the others..
don't you get that, your God isn't everyone's God.. so stop forcing him to be.
let the schools be for school and the church be for whatever religion you chose to worship.. how simple is that?
Here's my philosophy when it comes to education... err on the side of
TOO MUCH! I'd rather teach them
EVERYTHING than to filter out the things this group or that group don't want people to know, that's just my personal opinion on the matter, you can refute me if you like. I don't see any problem with teaching creation theory as one of the theories people believe, and you know what else, jackboot? I don't even mind teaching them that for decades, secular anti-religious nitwits tried to prevent us from teaching you that people have a
difference of opinion when it comes to origin of life!
Now on the the question of MY GOD. I haven't mentioned anything about my personal religious beliefs here, you assume I must be a Christian, because I am not joining in on the Christian Hatefest. But I am more like a Spiritual Mercenary here. I believe in a Spiritual God, but it's more of an energy source than something with humanistic attribute. Personally, I believe this entity created everything in the universe, including your perceptions and experiences in the thing you call life. I don't care if we teach that to kids in school, I think it's important information for people to know. I would love to see schools teach comparative religious studies class, where all kinds of spiritual beliefs are studied. But you don't see me posting threads about it, or compiling propaganda to smear public education because they don't allow it. That's because of my POLITICAL philosophy, which is completely different from my spiritual one. I understand spiritual faith is a touchy subject, especially to school kids, and it is indeed the job of the church. But teaching that people have difference of opinion regarding the origins of life, is not teaching spiritual faith, it is acknowledgment of truth. In education, I always err on the side of truth.
