Posts: 9,838 Group: A414A Member Member #10 Joined: December 14, 2007	Big Richard Aug 8 2009, 05:56 AM if religion was in schools, tv, and radio that would be imposing your belief on others. in which I would revolt or something Wow never heard of a christian rock band causing a revolution. Also don't you have freedom of speech and that crap which lets you impose religion on others anyways?

Good idea ryker, but why not force students to just bow down to allah too while we're at it? Don't want to offend anybody's beliefs.

But I enjoy exercising that right and I feel very comfortable not having people breathing down my neck because I pray every now and then. I support the freedom of religions and I vehemently oppose those who try to isolate it from the public. Now I do NOT think that religion should have any influence on our government or our laws whatsoever, but you know, I'm cool with people of different religions practicing their beliefs so long as they do so in peace.

Moo. Posts: 5,434 Group: Member Member #130 Joined: October 15, 2008	I don't like things like Christian rock on the radio, but that's because I don't think it's right to commercialize religion in such a way. I don't think there's anything unlawful about it, though.

Of course they don't call it that anymore. What sickens me is when I hear from young friends about how people can get in detention for calling it that.

Lol its not atheists, its the political correctness movement. The reason is that people of other religions have different celebrations or none during the break. Stupid yes, but not the work of atheists.

Stupid yes, but not the work of atheists. sry jam, but it was the athiests... just as christens honor the beliefs of others, they seem to honor our beliefs also. they didnt care what we called it. it was the athiest group that stood up and said this isnt fair to our belifes... and the gov listned to them.... the athiest just used other religions too when other religions didnt give a flying flip. if i remember right, it was an athiest that started and finished the movement to end prayer in school..... here is something else for ya Did you know that the small groups of athiests has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed and another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the wretched ACLU and our new administrat

There are small groups of many religion that make stupid lawsuits simply because idiots will be idiots, whichever religion they choose. Is the ACLU a bunch of atheists? Is the government or 'new administration' a bunch of atheists? And no, there is no law forbidding students to pray in school if they want to. However individual school boards can ban it if they decide to. Also, what atheist/atheist group caused the removal or the word Christmas?

Oh please STFU. I am an atheist, I'll give you that, but I (strongly) support religion and am opposed to "political correctness." Winter Break? This is the biggest bullshit. We have that break at that time because it allows us to CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, not worship Vishnu or something. Like, in all honesty, how many Jews or Buddhists are going to be offended by Christians practising Christian practices? It's absurd.

Yeah, it's ironic how some people are so arrogant and claim to be intelligent because they don't believe in a god.
