12yo Texan Girl Told to Write that God is Fake!

[Othelos]

what do you mean, then

The source of evil is not just from 3% of the population. Neither is the source of Good 70% of the population.

So then what is it

[Gim]

It's full of Bible-thumpers and they are more known for swaggering around with guns than calmly talking things out.

Ironically, over the next decade or so, Texas might turn blue.

I thought the Rifle Association also lobbied the Democrats.

witchcraft. we need someone to burn at the stake for this blasphemy.

I'm by no means religious but I do think the subject of religious studies should have been handled more sensitively, perhaps having her write a balanced paper where arguments for and against the existence of God are made and summarise her own position and that it should be obvious that a "God is Fake" assignment is going to provoke outrage especially in conservative religious areas of Texas.

[Ifreann]

Against the Declaration of Independence?

Really?

There's an oddly common misconception that the DoL is binding.

Yeah, I've noticed that some people think it's part of your Constitution. But does it even say anything about freedom of religion?

*sigh* Yet another person who either didn't read or skimmed through the article.

[Ethel mermania]

According to the snopes article, it did.

You clearly read a different snopes article.

Again, I messed up false, with opinion. The point is still spot on.

No comment on the dictionary definition I posted of myth, I see.

I haven't read it, That's probably blasphemy in the Southbut I don't think it explicitly mentions religious freedom.

Well it does say something about being well endowed by our creator, but your right about it not having force of law.

[Anollasia]

What didn't happen? The event or the firing of the ''teacher''?

The event. And I doubt the teacher was fired.

Then why does this thread exist? Just as a hypothetical question?

[Gim]

The source of evil is not just from 3% of the population. Neither is the source of Good 70% of the population.

So then what is it

Sorry, but I'm not going off-topic. This will become a long discussion that is not pertinent to the topic at hand.

[Ifreann]

Then why does this thread exist? Just as a hypothetical question?

Because some people like to believe that America is the devil and that Christians are being persecuted there.

[The Wolven League]

The event. And I doubt the teacher was fired.

Then why does this thread exist? Just as a hypothetical question?

No, because the OP misunderstood the event.

okay

[Galloism]

Actually that was part was really just about me.

I wanted to put that I was well-endowed in an official document.

What in the bloody hell are you on about?

[Gim]

Well, it's basically digression from the topic. We were talking about oppression, then Christianity.

Christians aren't the only ones who believe in god.

No, because the OP misunderstood the event.

Ok, I guess we can all go home then. *packs bags*

[Uxupox]

No. Atheists and cults spreading their views, respectively, about God not existing and God not being equal to Jesus and such.

So now atheists aren't allowed to even speak their opinions, yet Christians are allowed to go door-to-door pressuring people to join their churches?

Last time I checked the JW never pressured anyone to join their beliefs. When they do their monthly visit to my house I always sit down and have a talk in the difference between our beliefs in order to know more about them. They have never pressured me to join their sect. If you don't like them visiting you then you can talk to them and say it, believe me that's what my neighbor did and they have never visited her again or you can just can just ignore them.

The DoL was a Declaration of War with a list of grievances, it's not legally binding (In the manner of a governing document). If it were, the Constitution wouldn't be needed. And furthermore, the Bill of Rights within the Constitution aren't set in stone, contrary to the beliefs of some. Those can be amended.

[Gim]

Christians aren't the only ones who believe in god.

True. Christians believe in God, if you noticed the difference.

[Geanna]

Mhm

[New Benian Republic]

Americans and their religions.

[Othelos]

The source of evil is not just from 3% of the population. Neither is the source of Good 70% of the population.

What in the bloody hell are you on about?

Spiritual warfare, which is a deeper topic pertaining to evangelicalism

Sorry no, all Americans have bigger penis's, what do you think American exceptionalism is about anyway?.
