RNC Condemns AP U.S. History Exam

[Archeuland and Baughistan]

I have read the Bible three times,

Are you sure you read it in English?

and I need a source for why it is wrong to have a pro-American opinion?

Where in the Bible does it tell you to love America?

That isn't imposition of a worldview on anyone.

You insisting that America needs to be a Christian nation is pretty much an imposition of worldview.

Here's an imposition of worldview for you: forcing the teaching of evolution and environmentalism on students in science classes.

That's not a worldview; that's objective fact. A "worldview" implies that it's opinion, or somehow contestable or dependent on interpretation, or even, dare I say it, faith. In short, a worldview is something that is specific to one person's understanding of how the world works.
Teaching children scientific fact (as far as we can determine, anyway) is not an imposition at all, obviously. You need to be able to understand the state of the world to be a functioning person. It's like saying that 1+1=2 is a "worldview" - no, it isn't. It's reality. Deal with it.
And that's the great thing about science - if it's found to be wrong, it can be freely adapted and modified to be more accurate. We used to think germs weren't a thing, but then we discovered that they were, for example.
No matter how wrong it obviously is, faith-based understandings of their world, by their nature, can never change. That is their flaw.

This ties in with AP US History, because it definitely is revisionist to suit the anti-American bias of the globalists

Dude, American history isn't all roses and sending Natives to butterfly farms upstate.

OK, so we're just babbling now?
In that case:
Downlow on the flipflop timepants!

Everyone's entitled to worldview - but again, imposing it on other people is not fair, and if you read the Bible, not very Christian, either.

Here's an imposition of worldview for you: forcing the teaching of evolution and environmentalism on students in science classes.

Read the Bible 1.5 times here and I can tell you that you're not a good Christian. Christians can't be patriots, as god's kingdom overrules all nations and states. Jesus was a socialist, anarcho-pacifist hippy.

Evolution sure is a worldview. It's called reality.

And teaching creationism wouldn't be such a imposition?

And, we need to teach our kids what has been proven to be true. All credible scientists and just about every major Church accepts evolution, since it's been proven right time and time again. Don't take the bible literally.

In my opinion, it seems unreasonable to take the entire Bible literally, since it has been mistranslated and misinterpreted many, many times over the past 2,000 years, and the people who assembled the Bible we use today pretty much had free reign over what could be in it. There are hundreds of other books that did not get included in the Bible.

Because it isn't true, it's make believe mythology pulled straight from a bronze age hermit's rectum. However, the AP History course is....reality?

America isn't exceptional. It has its own issues, including major ones historically.

So, it's an imposition to teach evolution, but not to teach creationism? Are you seeing the flawed logic?

Yep.

It wouldn't be an imposition to teach Creation truths,

Yes, it would. It's generally considered bad (and an imposition) to lie to children.

but how is that relevant to this AP US History exam thread?

I have no idea. You brought it up, as you'll recall.

He's clearly not interested in debating.
Does anybody else find it hilarious he just linked the same video twice for literally no reason?

That's not true!

God is nothing more than psychological subconscious that is used to personify an all loving creator to make life feel meaningful for believers. It's a naturally developed self-help, but that doesn't make it true. It's still make believe, "god of the gaps".

America is an empire. We are a superpower that topples governments at will and we have been doing so since WW1.

[Archeuland and Baughistan]

No, we aren't an empire, though I admit I would support US military expansion as we need some more territory and we need to bring American values to foreign lands.

Not true, because without God nothing could exist.

America generally has good intentions when it comes to foreign policy, but it messes up. A lot.

Because imposing beliefs and our culture and others is totally worth destabilizing the entire world, right?

Without humans, god wouldn't exist

I'm guessing you can't prove that?
