Why can't they not just make people aware of different religions and let them make their mind up, instead of forcing so much bullshit text down their throats they have no choice but to accept it. I hate the way that you're religion is basically decided by what you are born in to. Any christian here who was bought up in a Muslim nation would be Muslim and vice versa.
Why the fuck ONLY Christianity?

Why not any of the other Abrahamic religions? Or any of the other religions period?
Hinduism is a lot more acceptable on a moral basis than Christianity is.

How about Buddhism, Buddhists never hurt anybody.
I actually live in Texas, it's not that big of a deal. If you want, instead of your current social studies class you can take a "Bible and Western Civ" class.
There's a facebook group trying to get them to teach a "FSM and Western Civ" class as well.

That might take a while.
[QUOTE=PromiscuousPancake;16774834]Woah.
Wait
What?
I never heard of this and I live in Texas.
I'm Christian, but I still think there should be a seperation of church and state, mainly because when there isn't, everybody automatically thinks, "FUCKING CHRISTIANSJFKASJFKA" and get all bitchy about it.[/QUOTE]
That's a terribly sad reason to believe in separation of church and state.
Seems like a pretty good idea honestly, the bible has had a HUGE impact on the development of western civilization.

What a well formed and intelligent statement. [/sarcasm]
Cool, I like learning about religion in school because all of the kids always find something to bitch about
So it's always fun watching two kids yelling at each other about religion
And I just sit in the corner and laaaaaaugh...

Like what
What impact has it had on western civilization
[QUOTE=Lankist;16776384]Like what

The Crusades.
The Dark Ages.
Beating up Jews.
I don't see why not, it's a pretty important text, like Shakespeare's plays and Beowulf.
I hope they review the book and audit out the religious parts, and only teach them the parts that had an impact on today (Noah's ark would be one, but try to leave god out of it, just tell how what it says in the book affected a lot of today)

Jews are nature's punching bags.

The entire development of the mid-western to western part of the united states.
Settlers believed that god wanted them to settle the ground

[QUOTE=Wakka V2;16773461]Athiests. Stop over-reacting and getting butt hurt.
It would be better for you to have read the Bible than to blindly criticize it. It gives you more credability.[/QUOTE]
I have read the bible, from start to finish.
It's all a load of shit.
[QUOTE=DamagePoint;16776433]I don't see why not, it's a pretty important text, like Shakespeare and Beowulf.[/QUOTE]
So is the Qur'an.
[QUOTE=Lankist;16774852]So you think the only reason we have a separation of church and state is so people don't go fucking christianskfkasjkfa and not because it ensures our society remains secular and free of religious persecution.[/QUOTE]
Edit: Didn't read it right.
No that's not the only reason. That's the reason [i]I like[/i] the separation.

Prove it.

I think people like that ruin it for the rest of us.
Leave religion out of politics

You know, you guys could always ask schools to teach the Torah and the Qur'an too.
Instead of bitching about it on a forum that politicians don't give a shit about.

We will bitch on this forum as much as we like.
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;16776581]In [B]TEXAS?[/B][/QUOTE]
There are some sensible people in Texas.
We're not all retarded.
Most of us.
But not all.
Edit: Yes, the reason I believe in separation of church and state is because people would bitch about it otherwise. So it's a sad reason. Since when does anyone on FP care about what anyone else thinks anyways?
Well people worship me, so i preach the teachings of the zen master breen.
Sex for all!
