No, caller, universal availability does not make it fair. Any reward system based on anything other than merit is intrinsically unfair, especially one that insists that meriting the proffered reward is impossible and the only way to get it is to believe a patently absurd fairytale.
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world it would love you as its own.As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.That is why the world hates you.Remember the words I spoke to you:'No
No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.They will treat you this way because of my name,for they do not know the One who sent me."(Jn 15:18 - 21)
This caller is a moron. It doesn't matter how much his unholy bible has been spread throughout the world, it's still an immoral fairy tale book with a ridiculous proposition. It wouldn't matter if the Hebrew Mythology god was real, I would never, ever worship that monster. Faith is based on ignorance, fear and lack of evidence..I have logic and a brain that I use to discern reality from fantasy. These people shut off all rational thinking when it comes to this baseless belief in a sky daddy.
Actually, that's quite interesting... there were societies that lived far before the colonization of chrisitan nations in Asia, North America, Australia, Pacific islands, Africa.. etc. All those that lived in those areas had NO idea of what Christian teachings were at the time. Would not knowing about Jesus justify an eternity of hell to those that never got the chance to know about him? Just another inconsistency I find interesting... but I suspect they have an answer, considering infants...
@7micho7 Many might just be tired of being around so much cussing all the time. A lot of Christians might also get bored with all the hate. There are many reasons why atheism is much more popular to convert to than any of those dusty religions.
Atheism is a normal part of human evolution. Those still stuck in the stone age with their beliefs are just taking a little longer.
Now we know why those Europeans beat us in education and general tranquility. They dropped religion and presto!
The Bible is available to all people? That's bullshit for the past, and even today there are people who haven't ever even heard of Christianity. No one ever explains what happens to them.
@werebee A Christian man ventures to the North Pole to interview a local Eskimo tribe. While interviewing one of the tribal elders, he explains Christianity to him. After some time, the Eskimo asks:
Eskimo: If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to Hell?
I became an atheist when I came into this world. I believed in Santa till I was about 5, 6 or 7, but I NEVER believed in any kind of a god. Santa I could see, and he did what was promised.
@XplosivCookie Could you imagine if parents actually eavesdropped on your prayers and attempted to "answer" them just to get you to believe in God? Or took you to go sit on Jesus' lap at the mall?
@XplosivCookie Most Christians don't try to fulfill the good things they say God does to get their children to believe. Most Christians hammer home the bad things, like the fact that they'll burn in Hell if they don't believe.
@DaToNyOyO Another group to whom christianity is not available are those who realize that god's ways MUST make sense and see that they don't make any sense whatsoever. The standard reply is "god's ways are not our ways" or "who are you to question the ways of god?" And there we have Hitchens' "poison chalice."
the very existence of religion is a failure, because it is created from a failure, it is created from the failure to explain things, "i dont know, therefore god"
@TioPhillippe Nice isn't always enough. There are Christian Scientists who are really nice people. But they're still batshit crazy enough to let a child die rather than bring that child to hospital.
Christians worry about non-believers "dying in their sins", yet so many Christians die in their delusions. How many Christians died in the last 2000 years thinking the world was going to end soon? It did end for them, of course, but without any Jesus floating in the clouds. It's kind of sad,
Re: guyNbluejeans - Once again someone shows a gross misunderstanding of science. Science is a process of gaining knowledge, not a fixed set of rules. God you Americans need urgent educational reform.
@leevan50rrie Huh? I don't know why you're coming at me with that, makes no sense. (And your definition of science is pretty shabby, too, so I'd not take shots at America ... if I were you.)
@guyNbluejeans Pretty shabby? Or just not conforming to your definitions? And why shouldn't I take shots at America if I think they're deserved? Don't get me wrong, I love many things about your country, I love the food, the multiculturalism, the whole American dream thing. That doesn't mean your country is without flaws, and there's nothing wrong with pointing these flaws out.
@leevan50rrie So if I understand what we're addressing here, you think the country that put men on the moon and machines on Mars and had so much to do with creating computers and the Internet, is weak in science, is that right?
@leevan50rrie It took a lot more than "a few geniuses," pal. And might you be a good sport and cite in my comment where I said "the whole country is well-educated"?
@guyNbluejeans Semantics. Fair enough, I should have put the word "generally" in. But generally, yes, I think American education has plenty of room for improvement. And "a few geniuses" doesn't mean that I literally think that America has only 10 or 20 or a 100 brainy people, all I'm saying is that the academic, scientific and business successes of the few doesn't belie the general cultural and scientific ignorance of the many.
@leevan50rrie Do you pursue similar observations with folks from the many dirt-poor African nations? It seems to me that they could use hearing more about their shortcomings considering the overall plight of their nations, versus a nation that did what I've mentioned.
@leevan50rrie All nations are developing at different rates and in different ways; it's an ongoing process that is dynamic and never ends. You ought to know that.
@leevan50rrie Kinda of a slave-driver, aren't you? We gave the world computers, air-conditioning, cameras, radio, x a trillion and yet you still demand us to do more!:-(
And Merry Christmas to you! (We'll keep hammering away to put more presents under your tree, just be patient.)
The insurmountable problem you science minded people have in your quest to diminish the Holy Bible is the FACT that *many* Christians have been touched by and/or encountered Jesus Christ during the course of their lives!
You can go about the business of flinging the "you need to see a psychiatrist" and resort to other tactics of trying to embarrass people into accepting your point of view that science is "god almighty" but most folks
called Believers won't cave into that foolish nonsense!
@guyNbluejeans Then I recommend you to never rely on modern medicine that's developed by science minded people. Your personal savior can help you instead.
@mowmowmowful I will continue to use modern medicines as needed, though I wonder what you intend to do about the sins that have stained your soul??
As far as your comment about budda and other religions go, I'll stick with Christianity and Jesus Christ. I like being with the Truth, and in time I suspect events will occur that will show beyond all doubt that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, and anyone with a lick of sense will drop all nonsense and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
@guyNbluejeans What a hypocrite. Bashing science on one hand while enjoying the benefits brought by the same science you bash. Is that the Christian value? Is that the Truth? And I am glad you admit that you prefer to not think and blindly follow, but I am sad that people like you are wasting valuable resources such as food, clothes, and energy.
@guyNbluejeans Oh, one more thing, how do you disapprove Buddha, Allah, and other Gods of organized religions? Because their holy books often say that they represent truth.
basically the belief of god is like a robbery. do this or suffer the consiquence. so a robber is only robbing you because he loves and cares about you?! HOW CAN YOU READ THE BIBLE AND STiLL FOLLOW iT... im starting to think that movie iDiOCRACY was based on the people today. and how closed minded n gullible they are... it suxz
Jesus Christ is the real deal. I know, because like many others have experienced, He's visited me. You folks that don't believe in Jesus ought to consider the serious stain of sin that covers the world and who was sent here to deal with it. All I'm saying is that you should at least make an honest effort to get Jesus into your life. Just be sincere and do your best. He knows everything about you and thanks be to Almighty God, Jesus will see to it that you have a wonderful place after you die...!
@guyNbluejeans "You folks that don't believe in Jesus ought to consider the serious stain of sin that covers the world and who was sent here to deal with it."
Of course, this stain you're talking about can only be seen if you already accept the bible as true, because sin is defined as a moral crime against God. It's because it's just an imaginary concept that you can even say that Jesus was sent here to deal with it, because obviously observable bad stuff has not been dealt with.
@Gnomefro The problem you have is the fact that many folks, myself included, have had encounters with Jesus, so we know that He's real and that much, if not all of the Bible, by extension is true (though admittedly some parts are tougher to figure out than others).
These are The End Times and Jesus will be returning soon. Get your life in order and drop the sins while you still can!
@guyNbluejeans The problem is that while you may be convinced, there's no way for you to convince anyone else. How do we know you're not just crazy? For that matter, how do you know that what you experienced is really what you think it was?
Besides all that, even if something happened to convince me that a god existed, that would prove in any way that any holy book contained the word of that god.
@GypsyLeah In your first sentence you seem to think that you speak for all others, I doubt it.
Regarding your second sentence, we can play that game and just say everyone and everything is "crazy" and therefore there's no meaning or purpose to anything. In the Bible Jesus says something like, "I know my sheep and my sheep know my voice." SO TRUE!
I don't understand your last sentence, sorry.
Jesus Christ is who He said he was. He's presented Himself in my life and millions of others as well.
@guyNbluejeans In my first sentence I'm talking about you. In my second sentence the point was that people who make wild unfounded claims are generally considered crazy. That's an awfully long way from saying everything is crazy, meaningless and purposeless. In my third sentence I'm referring to how easily people can be tricked and how easily they can trick themselves.
Lastly I make the point that having an experience of a god does absolutely nothing to prove any holy book.
@GypsyLeah You make this harder than it has to be. Why don't you put the glue bag down and open a window ... .
Isolating on your last sentence, do you HONESTLY think it makes any sense??
Also, it may surprise you to know that some of us don't regard ourselves as play dough that has to run things past a shrink to get validation. The reality of life and the world at large is that it's all PROFOUNDLY mysterious, thus you ought not think that you have all the answers nailed down as if secularism..
@guyNbluejeans Of course it makes sense. As an example; we know JK Rowling exists but that doesn't mean Harry Potter is real.
Yes, life is mysterious but we're exploring those mysteries. Yes the world contains unknowns but we are learning how to know them. We don't know all of the answers yet but we do know some of them and we know how to go about learning more. Every day, the amount of mystery in the universe decreases and the amount of wonder increases.
Christians are of the opinion that we are atheist because we have not read the bible. Well it's actually the opposite for me, I am an atheist because of the bible!! It's clearly so fictitious that it puts me off of religion all together...
@ATABOFACID It's the arrogance of Christianity. I've been told - too many times to count - that "if you actually READ the Bible, there's no way you wouldn't believe, so, I know for a FACT that you haven't read it."
They say the same thing when I tell them I was once a Christian. "If you were a REAL Christian, you would never have turned away."
They feel that their beliefs are absolute FACT, and they'll twist reality any way they can to prove to themselves that they are right.
God is a spirit, an immaterial conscious being. All things in the universe consists of matter and/or energy, so if God isn't matter, is energy by definition. Energy is the capacity to do work, is eternal, omnipresent, wasn't created and can't be destroyed, can create matter, was the only thing present before the BB, and the energy required to make the universe must had been powerful. All these match Biblical descriptions of God. Therefore is plausible that God exists.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
@leevan50rrie I became a good "christian" when I became an atheist. I stopped being a bigot and an arrogant fool the moment I stopped believing that crock.
@DaToNyOyO Well, for me, back in my Christian days I became disillusioned with the over-aggressive and preachy proselytising my Christian friends did with non-Christians they wanted to convert. So I thought that I would try a different, more benign method, talking to non-Christians oneonone and trying to understand their ways of thought, in the hope that I would help correct the stereotype of Christians being pompous bigots. But, well......the arguments against religion just made too much sense.
@darbone Holy shit, you came back to life? How the fuck did you pull that off? The sooner you tell us, the sooner we can offer the theist something better than the afterlife.
But that's what I like. He is a christian yet he is capable of having a calm conversation with someone who doesn't believe as he does. Thats how it should be.
if he teaches his kids the same principles the same will occur ..multiply that by 1 million and it won't be long before you have a world full of people who "do what they will" ...the result is a kaotic world ...i.e. today's world
If his belief is that as long as nobody knows there is no harm done ...this is how we as humans justify our unfaithfullness.....but then again ..if a man believes that we are just a higher form of animal and we are just folllowing our instincts (the teaching of evolution)...well what chance does he have of having a marraige that will last ...
Simple example is :the man who is commiting adultry with the secretary in the office is doing what feels is great ...the last thing on his mind is how his action are going to desroy his trust with his wife ...his children's trust is also in the balance.
For fucks sake get rid of outdated 2000 year old garbage writings and replace it with up to date scientifically proven 20th/21st century knowledge and give these absolutely stupid religious people a chance to live in the 21st century, ie the ability to be able to have a knowledgeable conversation. At least give them the ability to ask intelligent questions.
@timdnwd Talk about arrogance and taking the intelectual higher ground ..and please don't swear ..there is no need to. The problem is that the "world system of "Do what thou wilt" in other words "if it feels good do it as long as it doesn't harm anyone else" sounds like freedom for all, but this teaching is the root cause of humanities problems.
@rocksoli4 who said anything about do what feels good as long as it doesn't harm anyone else? I think it is completely rational to base our decisions about what is the best path for humanity using the only method we have that has proven to be reliable for discerning reality, science. So, we can test what produces the best results for improving the human condition and act on those findings to benefit far more than are benefiting now. Don't you think the point is to improve life for as many?
No it's not fair and that won't happen. God gave purpose to each and every human being that ever lived, wether or not they have heard of Him, because He loves us. If somebody has never heard of him for any reason, why is it their fault? Why should they be punished. They aren't. I'm not judging and saying they went to Heaven or Hell because that isn't my place. All I am saying is they aren't suffering for something that wasn't their fault.
regardless of how you feel about the opinions expressed, this is so far the first caller I have seen who was not a complete ignorant anus who repeatedly cut the hosts off so that he could spew his circular logic because the comments of the hosts made them start to question their own beliefs and become uncomfortable.
Ashley Perrien is right, the bible does leave much to interpretation. The caller was dishonest by first claiming that faith in Jesus is all you need to get to Heaven but then he moved the goal post by saying if you believe in me you will follow my commands. I'm saying that it is dishonest and a contradiction to claim both. So which is it Christians? Is it faith alone or believe in me AND follow my commands
I don't give a damn if the Bible tells me in a clear cut way to get drunk five times a week. I will not do something that is blatantly harmful to me in order to feel good.
They have been conned into thinking there is a 'reward' waiting for them if they do 'good' things here on earth. Makes you wonder how immoral and evil they would be if they didnt have this imaginary cookie waiting for them. None of them apparently do good just to be good people, they only do it for the 'reward'.
@aegisgfx You miss the point completely ....Jesus said "If any man wants to gain life he must lose his life" in other words To gain true life in all its fullness a man must serve God and love others as brothers and sisters. It is a well known fact that people who live their lives serving humanity are by definition the happiest people..be they Christian or not ...Their reward is seeing the joy in the people who they have made feel special or helped You seem to have a problem with reward?
you are the one who is missing the point, doing things only because there is a cookie for you at the end is not right, you are only doing it for the cookie, not because you actually want to help people. And drunk people are happier too, but thats because they are not facing reality and neither are you. Your imaginary friends are not real, please wake up and join the rest of us in reality.

@wwhulk12 Well whenever I asked my parents why we're here on earth and not just on heaven, like we do we have to go through all this pain. They'd always reply with something along the lines of "to learn lessons" or "to show faith by perseverance" And I just hated that cause it seemed like a get out of jail free card cause they had no real answer and it also seemed cruel for God to make us go through that when we could just of had eternal peace to begin with, ya know?

@christy1christy I think the thing you don't understand is we don't need a false deity to guide us through our everyday life and be happy. Because we are strong-willed people who can think for OURSELVES, form our own opinions, and do what makes us happy without it being a sin. If you were a true believer you would want to die. So you could go to the "better place".
if your god put you here to bow down on your knees and worship him 24/7 (or else) whats the point of living? Do parents have children just to expect then to worship them all the time for bringing them here? I would not do that to my kids, I brought them here so they can go out and enjoy life, not to spend their lives thanking me and praising me. Thats a stupid, illogical god you have there.
this is the first intelligent caller i've ever heard call in to the show
it's too bad so many christians are unintelligent because there is a potential for a good intellectual debate, because of course no one knows anything for certain
@inflames006 the guys on this show are cynics basically out for a laugh at the expence of Christians ....They are not interested in a Christians belief to them it's bull ...I'd love to know what they're motive is.
Atheist outreach- Since a majority of the world are theists, some atheists in world think that they are the only that they know. This show tells them that they aren't alone.
education about atheism- Most people (you included based on your comments) don't know what atheism is. They talk about why they reject theistic claims.
To find out what people believe and why- they DO care about Christian belief, however most of those beliefs ARE bull.
@rocksoli4 They've said what their motive is before. Their true intent is to get that person who made be listening and watching the show to think of things they've never thought of before and maybe uncover things they've never seen. If you get a few laughs out of it, why not?
Atheists believe there is nothing after death ....but if there is a way thru death and it was through confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as Lord and creator why would that be too much to ask ..get your sins forgiven which brings peace and the promise that you will make it through death to the next phase i.e. eternity...Sounds like a good deal to me
@rocksoli4 First of all, atheism and theism address ONLY ONE question: "Do you believe that a God or Gods exist?"... they don't necessarily connect to belief in an afterlife. (For example: Buddhists are technically atheists. They believe in reincarnation, but they don't believe in a god.)
Secondly, all the rest of the claims that you've made are based on unproven assumptions. You need to prove those claims before anyone can believe them.
The "Belief in Christ is paramount" is what makes Christianity just as ridiculous as any cargo cult religion. There are so many holes in that assertion that, for there to be so many people who adamantly espouse this is truly mind-boggling to me.
Hitler killed millions of Jews but still believed in Christ (he thought he was doing divine work). If I follow the logic, he should be in Heaven.
My recently deceased uncle was a doctor. He was an active member of Doctors Without Borders. He went to war torn and disaster stricken countries so often that he was only around at home for few weeks at most. He was also a hardcore atheist, publicly denying Christ to everyone he met. I'll leave you to infer where Christians think he is.
@supermanuman95 Yeah, tough one. I'm Agnostic BTW. While Hitler did claim to be Christian, he clearly was not an exemplary one. I think you will find few people who will argue that point, Atheist, Christian and Agnostic alike. It is also possible that claiming a belief in Christianity was merely a PR tactic, Politicians the world around are accused of such things from time to time. Hitler is a whole different ball of wax. That was however a good example, as well as a good counter point.
@choongd The Devil believes in Christ do you think he will be in heaven. On the question of people doing good in the world...it is a great that your uncle devoted his life to helping others.....but that is not the point ....the point in a nutshell is .....why would anyone reject eternal life if there was a possibility of a way through death....This is the claim of Jesus Christ i.e. that He is the way ,the truth ,the life, the resurrection.
@HemaFTW No? Consider this excerpt from Mein Kampf: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
@HemaFTW No? Consider this excerpt from Mein Kampf: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
@choongd The Devil believes in Jesus but wey !hey! where do you think he'll end up......the bible actually says in Matt 7 All who call me Lord Lord shal not enter the kingdom of heaven ..only those who do the will of my father i.e love your neighbour as yourself.........
@choongd A REAL TRUE CHRISTIAN wont kill millions of people. Its one thing to say what you believe its another to act on that belief. That is like saying Im an Atheist but I go to church, read the bible, and pray. That doesnt make sense
at the end of the day, i just want to see religion out of the classroom and politics,and no more labelling kids by that faith they believe in, and preaching critical thinking being the most important factor to all.
Whenever I see a video of The Athiest Experience I always wonder what would compel a group of middle age men to take time out of their lives to video a show of themselves criticizing the beliefs of others. I can't imagine too many things that are a bigger waste of time. Example: If you, as an adult, tells me that 2+2=5 I damn sure ain't gonna waste my breath trying to correct you unless it impacted me in some way. I could give a rats ass what you believe. And NO, my beliefs DON'T affect you.
@moosepok I would have no problem if you believed that 2 +2=5 .....But, if you or those of your ilk tried to get it taught in my child's classroom ...You will have a problem with me. If you tried to get laws passed that would make it possible for this crazy math to be made into a law then you would have a problem with me. If You tried to teach it to your own kids, You are mentally abusing them & not preparing them correctly for reality, Then, someone should speak out against this.
Give me a break. You are in no position whatsoever to lecture anyone on how to raise their kids. In the last two decades or so you Athiests have eliminated all reference to Christianity in our school systems, replacing it with your own beliefs, and look at the state of our school system. It's been a complete and utter failure and it sure isn't getting better. Your philosophy is far closer to mental abuse and not preparing them for reality than teaching them about Jesus Christ.
@moosepok Lol...Awww, you poor poor christians...Us evil, abusive atheists were able to take your all powerful god out of the schools. Wow! Umm, christians are not the only ones who pay taxes and have children in the schools, they are not YOUR schools.Remember that. People can believe in fairies if they want & they can still believe inside the schools but they can not make it part of the curriculum or make one religion the schools religion. If you taught one religion you would have to teach all
@moosepok How have atheists replaced christian teaching with their own beliefs? Atheists don't have a central belief and may not agree with one another on anything. So can you explain what you mean by 'atheist beliefs'?
No, caller, universal availability does not make it fair. Any reward system based on anything other than merit is intrinsically unfair, especially one that insists that meriting the proffered reward is impossible and the only way to get it is to believe a patently absurd fairytale.

@XplosivCookie Most Christians don't try to fulfill the good things they say God does to get their children to believe. Most Christians hammer home the bad things, like the fact that they'll burn in Hell if they don't believe.

Of course, this stain you're talking about can only be seen if you already accept the bible as true, because sin is defined as a moral crime against God. It's because it's just an imaginary concept that you can even say that Jesus was sent here to deal with it, because obviously observable bad stuff has not been dealt with.

God is a spirit, an immaterial conscious being. All things in the universe consists of matter and/or energy, so if God isn't matter, is energy by definition. Energy is the capacity to do work, is eternal, omnipresent, wasn't created and can't be destroyed, can create matter, was the only thing present before the BB, and the energy required to make the universe must had been powerful. All these match Biblical descriptions of God. Therefore is plausible that God exists.

A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.

@rocksoli4 First of all, atheism and theism address ONLY ONE question: "Do you believe that a God or Gods exist?"... they don't necessarily connect to belief in an afterlife. (For example: Buddhists are technically atheists. They believe in reincarnation, but they don't believe in a god.)
Secondly, all the rest of the claims that you've made are based on unproven assumptions. You need to prove those claims before anyone can believe them.

It is also possible that claiming a belief in Christianity was merely a PR tactic, Politicians the world around are accused of such things from time to time. Hitler is a whole different ball of wax. That was however a good example, as well as a good counter point.

@choongd The Devil believes in Christ do you think he will be in heaven. On the question of people doing good in the world...it is a great that your uncle devoted his life to helping others.....but that is not the point ....the point in a nutshell is .....why would anyone reject eternal life if there was a possibility of a way through death....This is the claim of Jesus Christ i.e. that He is the way ,the truth ,the life, the resurrection.

@HemaFTW No? Consider this excerpt from Mein Kampf: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."

@choongd The Devil believes in Jesus but wey !hey! where do you think he'll end up......the bible actually says in Matt 7 All who call me Lord Lord shal not enter the kingdom of heaven ..only those who do the will of my father i.e love your neighbour as yourself.........

@choongd A REAL TRUE CHRISTIAN wont kill millions of people. Its one thing to say what you believe its another to act on that belief. That is like saying Im an Atheist but I go to church, read the bible, and pray. That doesnt make sense

one of the most repectable callers I've heard,
-STRONG IN HIS BELIEFS
-RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS
-AND HE ACTUALLY LISTENED INSTEAD OF TRYING TO 'TALK OVER' WITH NONSENSE

at the end of the day, i just want to see religion out of the classroom and politics,and no more labelling kids by that faith they believe in, and preaching critical thinking being the most important factor to all.

Whenever I see a video of The Athiest Experience I always wonder what would compel a group of middle age men to take time out of their lives to video a show of themselves criticizing the beliefs of others. I can't imagine too many things that are a bigger waste of time. Example: If you, as an adult, tells me that 2+2=5 I damn sure ain't gonna waste my breath trying to correct you unless it impacted me in some way. I could give a rats ass what you believe. And NO, my beliefs DON'T affect you.

@moosepok I would have no problem if you believed that 2 +2=5 .....But, if you or those of your ilk tried to get it taught in my child's classroom ...You will have a problem with me. If you tried to get laws passed that would make it possible for this crazy math to be made into a law then you would have a problem with me. If You tried to teach it to your own kids, You are mentally abusing them & not preparing them correctly for reality, Then, someone should speak out against this.

@NonProphetess
Give me a break. You are in no position whatsoever to lecture anyone on how to raise their kids. In the last two decades or so you Athiests have eliminated all reference to Christianity in our school systems, replacing it with your own beliefs, and look at the state of our school system. It's been a complete and utter failure and it sure isn't getting better. Your philosophy is far closer to mental abuse and not preparing them for reality than teaching them about Jesus Christ.

@moosepok Lol...Awww, you poor poor christians...Us evil, abusive atheists were able to take your all powerful god out of the schools. Wow! Umm, christians are not the only ones who pay taxes and have children in the schools, they are not YOUR schools.Remember that. People can believe in fairies if they want & they can still believe inside the schools but they can not make it part of the curriculum or make one religion the schools religion. If you taught one religion you would have to teach all

@moosepok How have atheists replaced christian teaching with their own beliefs? Atheists don't have a central belief and may not agree with one another on anything. So can you explain what you mean by 'atheist beliefs'?
