Phoenix, Some of are thinking this SLM is Massagatto.

I don't know who this poster is, but he/she is definitely not a newbie! [/b]

Reporting is not necessary; your posts tells all.

LoneStarMadam- You are certainly entitled to your opinions.
Differences are what discussions are all about. As long as a member posts in accordance with the TOS, I have no problem.[/b]

I'm not that familiar with TOS on this board.

But you should:

The more one reads LSM, the more one thinks he is BernardR.

It is in the church's best interest to keep the sacred separate from the secular.

A church is for everyone. Myabe Barry Lynns church doesn't believe that everyone should be welcomed, but that is not the teaching of Jesus Christ.
The first amendment guarantees us "freedom OF religion", not freedom FROM religion.

LoneStarMadam- Jesus Christ??? I don't know whether you have noticed, but Christianity is NOT the only religion on this earth. How would you feel if your kids were obliged to read from the Koran in a public school?

I would not have a problem with any religious book being taught from or read in school. I mention JC because He is the one I pray to.

Did I say that people should be forced to attend church? No, I don't believe I did.

The use of religious teachings and documents in school is roughly akin to forcing kids to attend church; thus the original article in the thread.

Religion has no place in schools whatsoever. None. The place for religion is a church/equivalent.

What is the problem with teaching or reading religious literature in schools? Schools celebrate black history month, Christmas, etc, etc.. Is there any danger of kids becoming black because black history is taught? Or becoming Christian because Christmas is a federal holiday & recognized in schools? Then too, you do realize what the first Thanksgiving was about, right?
