And NO I did not say anything about the spelling. I don't feel it is right to bring that up since it is more about making myself feel good by making the poster feel bad. (Although Bob Boudelang's face floated before my eyes as I read the post.. I will admit that.)

1. Where does God sit in school?

Is he front and center with the high achievers?

Or does he sit in the back row with the "Bad Boys"?

:silly:

10. When asked to explain why the Bible says it loves the sinner a Yogi

Guru answered: "Because they make for more interesting people"


Seriously true. I might have gotten the actually credentials of the man wrong but Marianne Williamson said this in one of her talks.

So I guess He would sit in the back.

EDIT to add last sentence.

15. I agree.

that said, I'm amazed that the author of the "pro-god-in-school" post -- who is clearly indoctrinated -- could believe that an omnipresent super-being can be "pulled out" of anywhere.

16. IMO those who are the most vocal about their faith...

are often those whose faith is the weakest.

18. And they swath themselves in bad dogma. They are cult people,

pseudo Christians.

13. Wherever he wants.

Rimshot!

2. Of course this person

remains woefully ignorant of the fact that the schools are overcrowded and our culture is so self-absorbed and materialistic that the social dynamics within the schools themselves are so dysfunctional that no amount of religious indoctrinization would change the way things are.

When religion ruled people used to gather in the town square to watch a hanging as if it were a picnic.

These people are so stunningly ignorant it makes me crazy.

3. "stunningly ignorant" Yeah........ *sigh*

4. What a weak God that poster must worship.

The God I worship is everywhere, including schools. He/She can't be kicked out.

It is not appropriate or lawful to teach about my God or yours in school, Mr. Boudelang.

6. Yeah, I had to mention about God being there, laws or no

And for my atheist friends, He isn't where you are if you don't want him to be. :)

9. As a pantheist humanist

I believe God is everywhere, and especially where people are. To kick God out you'd have to kick all the people out, burn it to the ground, till the land over, salt the land, and God would STILL be there, silently weeping over the insanity of it.

5. Excellent reply and good for you taking the high road

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Thanks. :^) I am trying to go with the iron fist in velvet glove approach

And then too, I do actually think about WWJD every so often. Since I see him as a really nice guy, I figure He wouldn't flame anyone.

8. The New Christian Bible...

will be geared for the fudi-mental who wrote the post in mention.
In the book of Leroy 3:16- And the Moranites gathered together with the Mushroomites dwelling in the dark, consuming their holy manna of total Bu$h*t!!! (and so it is written, and so it is dung)

[Maraya1969]

12. OH LOL!

The book of Leroy!:rofl:

Let me know if you start a blog!

11. Kurt Vonnegut hit the nail on the head:

"The big trouble with dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being smart."

14. Bidden or not bidden, God is present.

20. How come on ash wed i was allowed to attend class with ashes on my head?

No one said anything no one cared, no one sent me. I didn't make a stink out of it either. Something screwy is going on.

[ComerPerro]

21. Sounds like the classic talking point

about how violence has gone up and scores have gone down since taking God out of school.

And, no, I can't resist taking the cheap shot.

This poster apparently had a "10 commandments" education when he went to school, and it sure as hell hasn't done much for him.
