VOTE DEMOCRATIC TO KEEP GOD OUT OF THE CLASSROOMS

Aren’t you tired of the assault on your freedoms – especially the freedom from religious bigots and state-imposed religious promotions? The Democratic party and candidates are committed to bringing about an end to these religious zealots, symbols and historical emblems. It’s time to get the Ten Commandments out of all public buildings – the day of having these antiquated, obsolete “rules for living” posted and promoting Christianity are coming to an end. Government has no right forcing you to look at the Ten Commandments or making your child repeat the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. You can’t believe those people that tell you that the 2nd Amendment prohibits government from promoting a specific religion – it clearly states that there is a separation of Church and State. That means that the government should not even mention God, Budda or The Force!! The Democratic Party PROMISES to get rid of these heathen beliefs forever. So, on Tuesday vote for the party that will take God out of government and the schools. Vote for the Democratic candidates in your area.

 

Yes, especially the freedom of reading the forums without coming across yet another troll.

 

What about the freedom to have religion?

 

Feel free not to read or comment.

 

I am reminded of something attributed to Justice Oliver W. Holmes, of the US Supreme Court. He was supposed to have said, "My right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."

I have never understood why people think that God is absent from the public school system. Just because a collective prayer is not performed (as it should not be) does not mean that prayer is missing from school. Students pray. Frequently, as it was in my case, it is for help for a test for which one has not studied.

I support your right to exercise your religious preferences, as long as you allow me my right to not exercise your religious preferences.

 

Man....just when you thought someone could not improve upon stupid and this moron shows up.

Go figure...........

Stupid troll. Do us all a favor and crawl back in your hole. NO! WAIT! Keep it up! That way you make the demoncractic (no, that's not a spelling error) party look more like fools every day!

BRAVO! :lol:

 

yeh, you're going to get alot of support here :roll:

doesn't the people's republic of chapel hill have a message board you can post on? you'll find lots of "enlightened progessives" over there...

 

Folks, you do realize this jerk is being sarcastic? Look at the other posts this loser posted.

 

I can't believe people think this person is serious! "Truthteller"? HA!

 

Funny, I feel the same way about the Commandments being posted. Nobody is FORCED to read them!! As for the Pledge... It is Pledging allgiance to AMERICA, not God. If ya don't like the God part, don't say it. You also have a choice as to whether or not to recite the Pledge. It is not mandatory. Do you want to take away the moment of silence next?

LMAO @ Clif's witty comeback. :lol:

 

I am a Rep. and a Christian. However I feel that everyone worships in thier own way. God should not have to be in the schools. No one is saying God won't be in schools. Anyone can pray anytime they want. God is not looking for set prayer time at school or anywhere else. The seperation of church and state keeps us from acting like Muslims. I like that I can pray to God when I want or need to. I don't have to have special time set asidefor that purpose. I also don't need some goverment offical to tell me or my child it is prayer time. At that point where really is the freedom of religion?

 

I'm aware of this, but a troll is a troll nonetheless.

 

Clif, I don't think that remark was directed at you, and I know mine in a similar vein was not. A couple of the replies in this thread appear to take "Truthteller's" remarks at face value; those are the ones I was responding to, and I'm guessing Hugh was responding to those, also. Personally, I thought your remark about trolls was spot-on.

 

then i can only assume this was directed at me, since i'm one of only a couple of posts before yours....

this was the first "truthteller" thread i saw, and i made a sarcastic remark in response. at least i didn't try to rationalize with him or her. looks like it took you a little while to figure out that this was a troll, too....

 

Sorry, Dangerboy, it was not my intention to offend you, or anyone else other than the troll. Your comment about the "people's republic of chapel hill" gave me the idea you thought "Truthteller's" post was an accurate statement of the Democratic position. It should be apparent from my comment that you quoted, that I thought "Truthteller" was a fraud. I have not changed my mind about that. I put "Truthteller" in quotation marks because I believe that person is anything but a truth teller.

So I apologize to you, and anyone else (other than the troll) who was offended by my comment. I offer no apology to the fraud and liar calling himself or herself "Truthteller."

 

Clif, I know you were aware, but it looked like a couple of folks thought this was a legitimate thread.

 

I realize the post wasn't directed at me specifically. I just wanted another opportunity to call him/her a troll.

 

There is something called FELLOWSHIP that is very much a part of many people's religious beliefs. The right to practice FELLOWSHIP is indeed absent in our schools.

For some christians, FELLOWSHIP is just as important a part of their religious belief and practice, as being able to have a room to pray in at school 5 times a day is to muslims (which is accomdated in many schools).

Please tell me how a group of kids enjoying Fellowship at school causes you, or any student, to exercise their religious preferences. Do they put a gun to your head and make you pray? Do they beat you until you agree to worship christ?

Or is it that for some reason you feel that rather than freedom of religion, you are somehow endowed with the right to freedom FROM religion? Do you feel that you have a right not to be exposed to the sight and sounds of others practicing their religion?

 

Wasn't there just some Fellowship at a Flagpole not too long ago?

 

Not exactly, I think it's allegiance to a piece of cloth.
