Prayer in School

This guy sounds like Matt Dillahunty.

[Aleksamson]

I hope That soon it will be embaresing to express religious beliefs in public ( like racist today ) And politician would not have a chance / taken seriously. I hope Atheism will be accepted as homosexualiy today or even succseed it. I hope all churches start to pay taxes as any other company, don't mix with politic & interfer in school.......And never close churches no prohibition, You can THINK / belive pray at home or church

[dimbulb23]

I went to a Public schools in the 50s and 60s. There was a morning prayer every morning and most assemblies began with a prayer. There was nothing optional about it.

I hated it. But if I had protested in any way I would have been ostracized by my classmates and punished by the school administration.

That's what had to stop. That was State sponsored religion and make no mistake that's what Bible Thumpers want again. Screw that.

[Symos]

All good points, but doesn't their bible also forbid public prayer? Matt 6:5?

[ttopperr]

@Symos If not wouldn't it be the paryer. I pray not step on my mother back.

[DrCowboyFace]

Christian prayer in school is bullshit.

My MUSLIM friend goes to a public school in America. So how does that make sense?

[Keeban3]

Legally they can proselytize to other students. There is no restrictions on the expression of religion by students. Only by government employees.

[Patrissimo47]

I'm 100% in agreement with you. Religion has been responsible for more evil than virtuosity.

[DeionMalkavian]

It is not permissible to set aside time each day for people to pray, it is, however, very permissible to start a club or group for prayer, either before or after school.

You pray on your own time. Don't interrupt the time I could be expanding my mind with your religious beliefs.

[FlamingBat]

2:48 - What's the story behind that?

[Alexis767]

It's ridiculous that science teachers shy away from the subject of evolution because of the intelligent design supporters. And when evolution is taught in high school grades or lower, it is always Darwinian evolution- not modern evolution. It's insane how religion is still holding us back in the 21st century.

Intelligent design is not a scientific theory because it's hypothesis- that a god created the world- cannot be tested. So it does NOT belong in the classroom.

[dodwelljamie]

i think the guy who made this video probably has a genuine concern for the human race and where its going. our society is getting more controlled and more corrupt every day. for as long as people are in the hypnotic state of religion, we will never reach harmony in life or any good system of peace and justice. im not saying theres no god. just open your eyes and be honest with yourself and see that religion a is bullsh*t story made to trap and puzzle the mind.

[nightmoon11]

i am a christian and i prayed silently in school and so on, but that was my business, i have no right to make other people do something they dont want to do, also

QUESTION-i have a 7 year old niece who lives with me and i will read her science books and story books and so on with her, but i feel uncomfortable about reading biblical stories to her and tend not to, i believe what is said in them but i want her make up her own mind when she is older rather than forcing it down her throat

[hippierave]

Nightmoon11:If only all christians were like you!!! You are rare,a christian who actually respects others opinions instead of insisting your own is the only way.

[saxmanchiro]

One of my favourite quotes;

"Don't pray in my school and I won't think in your church."- (Unknown)

As a biology teacher in a public high school in the southern USA, I fight the dogmatic indoctrination of our kids by clergy and parents EVERY day. They have been told to not listen to my lessons or believe the material in our textbooks. They don't want the truth to be told to their children. They would rather have them remain in the bronze age.

Sad stuff to witness and pretty frustrating.

[andvil01]

Poor you, it must be hard. Fortunately we don't have so many fundies here in Sweden. Happens now and then some student say something about god or curry-lines or healing. Not very often. In first lesson I use to state that we only deal with science and evidence. We can even talk spoon bending, but not until there is some evidence. Usualy end that topic directly. I think about get one of those bumber stickers anyway.

[saxmanchiro]

andvil

That's exactly how we start each term, with a quick reminder that the class is a science class and if anyone wants to add their opinion to the lesson, they must first put it (their hypothesis)through the scientific method. If they wish to opine, they are reminded about the first lesson. They are to keep their opinions and beliefs with no evidence, in the hallway, to be picked up on the way out.

[X9SamFisher]

Personally I sympathize with biology teachers and professors across this country who actually take the time and learn the material they teach.

It's a true shame parents close their children's minds before they even enter the class room.

[REBMike1]

You go church to pray and you go to school to learn.

[furyofbongos]

666 thumbs up!

[Vogter2100]

YES! Good vid. How hard can it be?

In god we trust = gott mit uns? As it said on the SS unifiorms? ;-.)

[Treytheredrebel]

Yeah, I got a few mittens...

(gott mit-uns) XD

[Largo64]

Excellent! Five of five stars!

[arcooke]

You call pain in your knee disappearing a miracle? If I had the flu and yelled out "tomorrow I won't be sick anymore", and I get better, does that make me psychic? You're plugging god in to a completely normal circumstance. This goes back to the question: why doesn't god heal amputees? Because he isn't there waving around his magic wand healing people. If he can heal knee pain, surely he can restore severed limbs since he's all-powerful, right? THAT would be a real miracle. It doesn't happen.

[healthnbeauty1]

I think prayer in school wouldn't hurt. Look at how the kids behave today in schools.  They need God in there!!

[arcooke]

No, they need better parents.

[healthnbeauty1]

How can parents be good unless they have some Godly principles? Think about it. All goodness comes from God and all badness comes from satan. There is always an opposite in all things. I'm not saying parents are bad if they choose not to go to church.

Prayer wouldn't hurt. It's not harming anyone.

[arcooke]

You're hopeless...

When are you people going to learn to take responsibility for yourselves? Someone being "good" depends on a lot of factors. Society, upbringing, good parenting, life experiences, etc. You immediately assume there's a god/devil in the picture waving their magic wands.

Which god do you want in schools? There are thousands of them. Oh right, the only true god is the one you chose to believe in, even though theres no more evidence for "him" than any other god.

Sigh

[healthnbeauty1]

I got news for you. I've read about former athiests and they don't have order in their lives. They don't know right from wrong. And they got into all kinds of messes. I think the world would be a lot more crazier if christanity wasn't around. The reason why the world isn't more wild is there are some good christians who are trying to live a good life. And who do you think who were the main people who helped in the Katrina situation? Christians. So christians mark some spots in today's society.

[arcooke]

Christianity is also the most prominent religion among US prisoners, what's your point? You don't have to be christian to be good. Sure many of them do good things (and kudos to them for it), but religion isn't a prerequisite for kindness.

Atheists don't have order in their lives? How presumptuous of you. That's like me saying "I read somewhere that christians only believe in god because they're afraid of the idea of hell". See?

Personal BELIEFS should be private, keep them out of schools.

[healthnbeauty1]

And about you saying christians are afraid of being sent to hell. Well, when one's body dies the soul still lives. Not all christians specifically believe that but if that is their reason for living a Christ-like life than so be it. It does say in the Bible God does punish people.

[brutus149]

As if the world would be crazy if there were no active Christian sects & the only religious people mostly tried to do the will of Ahura Mazda & the rest did the good deeds at a similar clip.

"Living the good life" and not believing in some given deity aren't mutually exclusive. Doing good as means to an end of proselytizing isn't that far from what the Mob sometimes does. Buy off people, make them think you're the good guy, just to do something else.

[arcooke]

After all, what YOU believe is not necessarily what others believe. How would you like it if muslims tried to get islamic prayer in American public schools?

You want your children involved in that? Of course not. Nobody will ever agree on a religion, and trying to squeeze YOUR religion in only divides people further.

[healthnbeauty1]

In this country we have freedom of religion. People should be able to worship the god of their choosing. If people want islamic prayer they should be able to do it but in a private section in school-being most of the population belive in christianity. And if people choose not to pray then just let they stay out of the prayer circle. But no one should kill anyone's joy but not allowing prayer at all.

[brutus149]

Bollocks, if you go to a school in a town with a church on every other corner and not other religions are around, there will be no separate but equal prayer/quite time for any non-Christian.

People are allowed to pray on their own time in school as is....

Kids misbehave in parochial schools, so Not praying in schools couldn't hurt.

[healthnbeauty1]

If you compare schools with prayer in them they by far are not as violent. If you check out schools don't have it you name it-it goes on in that school. In the meantime go back and check out schools who pray and the ones who don't them come back and criticize me.

[brutus149]

Are you comparing public vs parochial, or private secular schools vs parochial?

[DeionMalkavian]

So, because someone is an atheist, they don't know right from wrong?

If I were in a worse mood, I'd probably be bitching at you right now, but I feel pretty good tonight, and I've got this spread the love thing going on..

You're my fellow human, and I love you for it. What I don't love is the way you just generalized us Atheists. I know right from wrong, and nobody can debate that. I don't need a god to tell me how to live my life.

(I'll continue this in my next comment)

[DeionMalkavian]

I'm an environmentalist, I'm big into animal rights, and I'm an atheist. I'm still a good person.

I respect religon, and I love the morals the bible sets down. I won't devote my life to something that can't be proven though.

True character comes from the person, not from a religon. A real person will make choices for themselves, not let something that probably doesn't exist chose for them. It takes intelligence to live your own life. It takes ignorance to let someone live it for you.

[brutus149]

According to your source healthnbeauty:

God [an omniscient and omnipotent being] created Satan

God [an omniscient and omnipotent being] created free will

Satan created evil

ergo, God created evil and badness

The Godly principle of unleashing evil on the world. Godly principles are great.

Prayer can hurt Michael J Fox, when people get convinced that a zygote has a soul. Or when Christian Scientist prayer denies medical treatment.

[healthnbeauty1]

It is true. God did create free will. But even to this day all goodness comes from God and all evil comes from satan. Would you agree kids are obnoxious in schools? You'd say yes. So prayer could not hurt.

[arcooke]

You're obviously not going to budge here, and there's no way you're going to be able to look outside your stubborn mindset and see the absurdities in the things you say. The bottom line here is, YOUR religion is not THE religion. There are others, and it's unfair to everyone else for you to impose YOUR personal beliefs on everyone else's children. If a child prays, it should be up to the child, not the school. Forcing your religion on impressionable kids is disgusting.

[healthnbeauty1]

Christian Scientist deny medical treatment. Well, that is true. But they do pray to God to get healed. And God does heal. God has healed people from diseases that doctors can cure and others doctors cannot.

If you're an athiest and you don't believe in God than your beliefs come from other sources. Your source may be doctors. Well, I got news for you not all doctors are honest! I know this cause if work in the medical field. The longer I work in the this field the more and more I trust God.

[arcooke]

Hypothetical situation: You are stricken with a terminal disease. The doctor gives you a choice in which you have only two options: 1) you can pray to be healed or 2) take medicine which is guaranteed to work. You can only choose one, which is it? Any sane person would choose #2 because they know deep down inside prayer doesn't work. It might make you feel good, it might give you hope, but it doesn't work. You could pray to a tree and the outcome would be the same.

[arcooke]

And the funny part is, the disease, according to your religion, is god's handy work.

Hurricane floods an entire state, thousands die.. one child washes up on a piece of wood alive, and it's a "miracle of god", the same god that caused the hurricane and killed thousands of people in the first place. lol

What a loving god, huh? One day you'll see just how ridiculous it all is. All it takes is an open mind and a little bit of critical thinking.

[healthnbeauty1]

As I said before, God does heal and I'm living proof of it. Once I had pain in my knee, a pastor prayed for me, and after the prayer I felt no pain in my knee. That was a miracle. 

And about various storms, I have two concepts on that. First, God said these things would happen in the last days to let I know he is coming. Second , as I said before, God punishes people. When there is iniquity he has sent various storms.

[scepticalpreacher]

healthnbeauty1, don't you think there's a certain amount of maniacal egomania in thinking that the creator of everything would heal your sore knee.

I could just as easily claim that I prayed for god to kill my neighbours' children, who were subsequently eaten by wild beasts. There is scripture to back-up my prayer, since the children were mocking me, yet is that any more or any less believable than a cosmic doctor taking an interest in your knee?

[healthnbeauty1]

God does exist. I don't think miracles happen for nothing.

What I don't understand is if you have such a problem with the christian channels and you don't believe what they say then stay off of them!! If you got a problem with them than stay off of them!! PERIOD!!

[scepticalpreacher]

I don't have a problem with Christian channels anymore than I have a problem with Christians. I do have a problem though when someone claims a medical background, yet makes an assertion which seems to ignore the known flaws with personal testimonies.

Healthy debate is a good thing, and there's no learning if all you do is discuss with like-minded people.

[Treytheredrebel]

Really now, nobody has a problem with TBN(although i dislike Joyce Meyer.).

However, I hate when Christians get sick, I mean REAL sick, end up in the hospital, are taken care of by doctors, injected with the necessary medicines needed to keep them alive, and when they get out, they testify that God healed them.

If I were a doctor, I would be silently enraged.

And, also, a sore knee?

That's not a miracle, that's under the jurisdiction of the placebo effect.

When God restores a lost limb, tell me.

[Treytheredrebel]

If you don't like pro-atheism videos, then YOU stay off of THEM.  PERIOD!!! Or wait, did you just come to this video so you can force your religion on us?

[brownbigb]

idiot

[healthnbeauty1]

In today's economy, violence in schools, natural disasters, etc. how is it harming anyone if someone voluntarily prays in schools?

[brownbigb]

nothing fails like prayer! by praying you demonstarte you believe in things without evidence, which show you don't use reason. you don't use reason you have no place in the school.

[healthnbeauty1]

I want to ask you this. How is it harming anyone if someone voluntarily prays in school? If you don't want to you don't have to. But if a person wants to than what harm can that do? You got to understand you don't believe in God but other people do.

[brownbigb]

and that is the stupidity that needs to be eradicated through education. so there is no place for it in the schools. you can pray silently all you want. if you do it audibly, you deserve to be called stupid, because believing in god equates stupid!

[kaminarigaston]

PEOPLE CAN ASK THEIR IMAGINARY OVERLORD FOR STUFF ALREADY

THERE'S NO NEED FOR A SET HOUR TO ASK SOMETHING FROM NOBODY

Don't pretend that you don't understand it, it's easy even for retards: if someone voluntarily prays in school then someone voluntarily prays schools, it already happens all the time, no one cares. What you want is another thing, you want mandatory prayer hour. That's not what schools are for, schools are for EDUCATION, not for asking stuff from invisible people.

[hippierave]

Like eequalsfb said,the problem isn't with children being allowed to pray in school,that is totally acceptable.The problem is when Christians are demanding that it become mandatory.That is infringing upon the rights of children who may not share your beliefs.What if some other religion took over..such as the muslim faith and all the sudden muslims wanted the school to force your child to pray to Allah?Would you see the harm in that?

[DarrelfromZeeland]

The only way the mudscum will take over America is if the libturds let them, and over my dead body. Let them try it. I've got my Barrett 50 caliber ready for them.

[TheKilgoretrout]

@healthnbeauty1 You did not watch the video. You are allowed to pray in school or any other public place, but the state, school cannot dictate how,when or to what god you pray. Religion WAS NOT removed from schools, schools were removed from religion!!!

[healthnbeauty1]

Patients have the right to choose. It says in the scriptures "faith without works is dead." Yes, some medications work but doctors DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING! They do not have the cure for late stage Cancer or AIDS. I got news for you there have been people where deadly sick from those diseases and others and God healed them. So you'll go not where with that. And no one's forcing prayer on kids. What I'm saying is the government shouldn't say you can't at all.

[arcooke]

Christians die from diseases at the same rate as muslims, jews, hindus, atheists, etc. Explain that.

And of course doctors don't have ALL the answers, I'm not arguing with that. But you never answered my question, which would YOU choose? Prayer or medicine? In other words, which do you have more trust in? Honestly think about that for a minute.

Just because we don't have cures NOW, doesn't mean we won't in the future.

If god creates disease, and we cure disease, we're smarter than god. :o)

[healthnbeauty1]

About your medicine gig, doctors cannot guarentee anything. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD!!! And as I said, doctors will never have ALL the answers. Only God does. And yes, there maybe cures for things in the future but it'll never be without God's help. I'm not going to argue with you anymore because obviously you have a one-track mind. When a person has an amputee that part of the body goes to heaven. They will get it back in the next lifetime. God has answers to everything.

[arcooke]

Once again, you refused to answer my simple question, and now you're backing out .

Every time I ask christians this question, the same thing happens: They dodge the question because they're afraid of their own answer.

I think you KNOW you would choose medicine over prayer, but since it conflicts with your beliefs you refuse to give me an answer.

Body parts go to heaven now too? LOL

You don't even understand your own religion. Souls supposedly go to heaven, not body parts.

[healthnbeauty1]

About medicine, you can choose one or the other or both. But either way we choose (in my opinion) God stands in the mist of it-after all He created even medication. Just tell me something. If you was diagnosed with an terminal illness and the doctors could not do anything (which in a lot of cases they can't) what would you do?

[arcooke]

So god created the diseases AND the medicines to cure them? Come on, you can't honestly believe that nonsense. That's like a doctor shooting a patient then tending to the wound.

If I had a terminal illness I'd just have to learn to deal with it like everyone else. We live, we get diseases, and we die.. just like every other living thing on the planet. It's a reality we all have to accept.. some people just choose to comfort themselves with the idea of an afterlife. I'm content with reality.

[Treytheredrebel]

Lol... Body parts go to heaven now? Anyway, what do you mean they'll find the answers with God's help? He MADE the diseases, and says he works in ways and should not be interfered with. If everyone was a deep rooted Christian, they wouldn't bother making cures for anything. They'd just say, "God has a plan". In fact, if it weren't for a few atheists, I wouldn't be talking to you. We'd still be in the dark ages. Intelligent design is a bad cause to fight for. Things were not made for us.

[GarthGerard]

If you are looking for a justification for why people should adhere to certain ethical principles, in the abscence of god...Philosophy has a very rich history. Try Plato. You might notice that certain elements are borrowed by Paul.

[Stevenhiggles]

Well, I'm a Christan but I'm glad that prayer isn't in school. Religion should be up to their parents. Its like one teacher telling the kids about Catholics and the next talking about Buddhism. Keep that stuff out.

[arcooke]

Religion shouldn't be up to the kids' parents.. it should be up to the kids. Let them make up their own damn minds.

But I agree, keep it out.. all of it.

[DeionMalkavian]

Religon should be up to the child.

[tgseason12]

I wish people realized that we are above God.

[okkima]

Yea, god couldn't even make a banana to perfectly fit into human mouth!

[chefmarcgirard]

"Children can prey before there history test. although I'd personally recommend studying, instead". Priceless i loved this vid!

[SexyMelon]

Good video, great point. Last line is just solid gold.

[freespeech4u2]

I like the last line especialy!

[strawberEfieldz4ever]

THEY WAY I PUT IT IF YOU BELIEVE THE DINOSAURS WERE HERE ON EARTH BEFORE HUMANS THEN YOU ARE AN ATHEIST BECAUSE THAT PROVES HOW HUMANS EVOLVED FROM APES AND god DIDNT CREATE EVERY THING AT ONCE 600 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!

[max2right]

religion, in particularly christianity. is evil and dangerous it seeks the power to indoctrinate school children and force its beliefs on us all. evil.

many look forward to the great war that will destroy the planet and bring their imagined christ back. dangerous for us all given the political situation we are all find ourselves in.

[bakscott1987]

If lawmen took over a class for a week, on their own, they would approve prayer in class.

[eequalsfb]

Please, elaborate.

[knowwaie]

You're incorrect. No one is pushing for a "prayer room" or "prayer time". The "prayer" they are talking about is the 'moment of silence' before the pledge of allegiance. You're blowing the subject out of proportion. Clearly what you're describing would not be advisable. But a simple moment of silence is all you are fussing about.

You're also digging your own grave. Now you're actually propogating the idea of prayer rooms which will probably now be implemented. You're giving liberals bad ideas.

[Eli3333333]

I wish to have my son privately pray in school when he wishes and it is not distracting someone else. (Freedom of religion) I want him to be able to believe what he wishes without being harassed about it. (freedom of religion) I want him to be able to talk about his religious believes with another student(s) in private. (freedom of speech) I want them to be able to bring their bible to school and read it on his free time if he wishes. (freedom of religion)

[eequalsfb]

Agreed. Although, it is rare to find a private moment between students in a public school.

[Eli3333333]

Regardless, he should be allowed to share his believe if the time arises.

[eequalsfb]

I heard you the first time. I agreed, remember?

[Shadrach76]

"he should be allowed to share his believe if the time arises."

- Eli3333333

should other kids be allowed to "share" their beliefs with your child if the time arises?

do you want your kid learning about how great islam is or the wonders of hindu gods?

[Eli3333333]

Sure, but I would think that my son would have already made his choice and be grounded enough in his faith to say no thanks. Which is the same answer that others can give him if they don't want to hear it. It's freedom of speech. You have the right to share your ideas to any who will listen. They have the right to listen to you or not. Religion should be treated the same.

[ultimategoobah]

"I would think that my son would have already made his choice and be grounded enough in his faith to say no thanks." Now I am a naturally suspicious person, so if this isn't quite rational someone please step in, but to me, this is a dangerous statement. Is that what you are teaching your kid, to reject all other ideas about the universe and existence that conflict with what you taught him? is that what being grounded in faith means to you?

[Eli3333333]

"...grounded enough in HIS faith to say no thanks." So you are saying that I should not let HIM believe in what HE chooses to believe in. No matter how much I want him to believe what I believe the thing with Christianity is it is a personal choice, but once he honestly makes it I would pray that he would hold onto it and not be steered off course. The OP was about prayer though so we are getting off topic.

[ultimategoobah]

I think you should teach him critical thinking and let him discover religion for himself without being led to it by you. I think if he is interested, you should show him all the different ideas to let him decide for himself. but maybe this would be going to far.. :( I guess what I am getting at, is that there is nothing wrong with considering different ideas.

[Shadrach76]

" would think that my son would have already made his choice and be grounded enough in his faith to say no thanks."

- Eli3333333

thats a bold statement.

so you think your kid should learn about different religions at school in the exact same method you want your religion taught at school?

should this begin in first grade or middle school?

what if your child becomes a muslim before your very eyes? would you pull them out of that school?

would you change your stance?

[Eli3333333]

Thanks, I can be bold in Christ.

I didn't say I want my religion taught at school. I said that I want my son to be able to share is faith, just like he would be able to share his political views. Does republican objectives need to be taught to every student? No but they should be free to discuss it 1 on 1.

This is no the proper venue for this debate. This area is for comments on the vid, if you would like me to respond to anything make a vid, maybe I will respond there.

[Josiah531]

Good job Eli. ROFL. Freedom "from" religion huh? Stay at it brother, stand your ground. I understand that you are just talking about freedom of speech but you got to remember these folks would probably be easier to convince of your right to walk in a gay rights parade than talking to someone about Jesus on school property.

I think that the courts are backing your right to pray though when exercised as a personal prayer over a meal or test.

[Shadrach76]

Josiah531, i dont have any problem with people praying or talking about their faith in school.

i do have problems with it being a class mandated function.

i dont think the courts have struck down anyones free speach rights when it comes to talking about ones faith.

[Josiah531]

The what are you arguing about? That was all he was talking about. Freedom for his son to talk to others about his faith and freedom for his son to pray when he wants. It might help if you read the posts before you start blasting away.

[ManicMalcolm]

I think all faiths should be taught in schools,all of the magor belief systems, what they believe, whay there rituals are, and do they have any proof for there beliefes other that a religious book or texts. so that our children can see what a load of crap they all are

[GodKillerAtheist]

your logic is like this:

I want bomb building and biological weapons manufacturing taught in school.

Whats the harm let them know so they can see for them self if they want to use the information to build a weapon of mass destruction.....

I don't see what the harm is in teaching them this...

:Same thing you can try and argue it is not but your WRONG!

[ManicMalcolm]

Ah the bluntness of ingorance, "im right your wrong".But, High school Chemestry can teach bomb making( its not hard), and Biology can teach Bio warfare, depends on what one does with the information.But what you mean is you want only YOUR beliefs taught. as In your arogence only yours is the "ONE TRUE FAITH" what a lot of bull.If you teach the beliefs of all faiths as we do in schools in the UK,(compulsery from the ages of 11-14) you dont get so much stupid Fanatism, and a more tolorant country

[GodKillerAtheist]

ManicMalcolm..I love it when people just proclaim in their posts "I'M RIGHT" because they seldom are......

The thing is, you don't seem to understand the USA very well. These people don't want it taught, they want it forced on us. They want it mandatory.

If they get any say in anything they want it "ALL".

Its not hard to see why this is wrong, but hey I'm the ignorant one as you put it.

[ManicMalcolm]

I thougth you were the one saying you were right, hence the " "

And i got the wrong end of the stick as well as I thought you were one of the ones who wanted Thier brand of faith , pushed down the kids throats and seeing as your not one of "them"(or have i missread again?) I withdraw the insutls ,lol, there reserved for Dumb crationist Xtians

[GodKillerAtheist]

no i'm not a christian LOL

[strawberEfieldz4ever]

WHAT IF U DONT HAVE A IMAGINARY FRIEND I MEAN god U CAN TALK TOO AND WATCH "UNITED STATES OF JESUS"

[ManicMalcolm]

If you talk to a god it's called prayer.

If a god talks to you it's a psycotic episode

[Nashy119]

In the UK (and probably America) we have Religions Eructation which is basically just learning about religions and moral issues.

I think in America you would have extremely biased teachers and teachings. Just consider that the majority of people in America think Satanists worship the devil and rape babies, you don't want that.

You can't teach much more than how different ceremonies go and quoting.

[DeionMalkavian]

I agree with you. It goes along the same lines as my freedom to lack religon.

I have no issues with prayer in school, as long as it's not on the school's time. Before/After/During lunch/Between classes is completely fine with me. =^.^=

[eequalsfb]

Classy? Oh my. Thanks, dude.

EXCELLENT Video and solid reasoning, keep up the great work. Religion has been touted as a good thing for all people. When in-fact it's destructive and bad for a rational society.

Get over it.God bless America.If you dont believe in God at least believe in the gift of this land he gave us,America.One nation under God all equal under his name.

[Avatra1]

If we don´t believe in your god (that he exist, whatever) why should we believe in his so "called" gift? America wasn't gift wrapped and then handed to us by some big papa smurf. But let me know if you find the ribbon, that would be a sight to behold!

(in retrospect, "God" has never claimed to give "us" (the inhabitants of the world) America, You did.

[6gording6]

Well you have view of seeing things I have my own.I dont care if you believe or not.Well actually yea he does tell his people he will give them a land,and America is one of those lands.But I dont expect you to know any of that.

[CapeandCowl]

really? where is the US mentioned in the bible?

And are you aware the phrase "one nation under god" didn't appear in the pledge until 1950s! or that many of the founding fathers, and first presidents were not Christians?

[Avatra1]

Well yes of course, you are free to believe what ever crazy and utterly foolishness you like. However, people will call you out on the bullshit you spew as "truth" Gee i wonder how the odds are for the prophecy "I don´t know when, I don´t know where, but someday there will be a land for you" kinda vague don´t ya think? I must admit, I have been falling behind on my religious studies, reality got in the way.

6gording6 are you retarded?

[Shadrach76]

"If you dont believe in God at least believe in the gift of this land he gave us,America."

the gift of land that the natives owned before the white christians came over the atlantic? were those natives just keeping the land warm until the christians arrived?

6gording6, i have heard some dumb things from religious people but you made my top ten.

*high five*

[6gording6]

Well you are ignorant,because they werent christian they were criminals who were sent.So whats wrong with sharing?Either way I am in the land now its a gift for me and my family.

[eequalsfb]

LOL @ 6gording6. You always manage to top yourself, mate.

"There are two things that are infinite; the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not so sure about the former."

-Albert Einstein

[6gording6]

Awesome I love Albert Einstein he understood the ways of God.Too bad my understanding is not human like,its actually godly.Therefore my understanding is not human."Imagination is more important than knowledge"AE Oh and one thing human is stupid because he doesnt think intelligently or scientifically.You should look at more of his quotes they are inspiring words from a man of God with wisdom.

[eequalsfb]

Here's another one:

"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

-Albert Einstein

You are wrong about him "understanding the ways of god".

[6gording6]

"If something in me can be called religious then it is unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our SCIENCE can reveal it" this to me is him knowing and understanding God.Only because he denies to have no relation with God only proves he did not know his being or person,but he did see it through science.So yea I am not wrong he was close to God because of science.

[eequalsfb]

If you want to believe that Einstein believed in your god, fine. Why should facts stop you?

On another note: If you aren't going to watch my videos, please stop commenting on them.

This is a pattern I've noticed with you. You seem to comment based on the title or the first picture I use, not the content. Also, the comments seem to be deliberately made to get a strong reaction. This is attention-seeking troll behavior. If you have an agenda, go make your own videos. Trolls will be blocked.
