Not specifically Episcopalian/Anglican but worth reading because ECUSA seems so enamored with all things UN.

That would be great, but our leaders (GOP and DNC) want what the UN wants. They just differ on how to accomplish it.

Some things are so disgusting that a “barf alert” would be redundant.

Islam will probably have an exclusion from this rule of religion.

“My guess is that Judaism and Christianity will be the ONLY targets.”

I think judging by its outspoken president in India and its site of convergence in China, the target is Buddhism and Hinduism.

Any Blue Helmets attempting to implement something like what this cockroach proposes in this country will be zeroed in at 300 yards by tens of millions of individual gun owners...not to mention our military that would never go along with it IMHO.

Really? I used to think that way, but quite frankly most won't give a crap. Most people just want to be left alone and live their life, and will sign up for comfortable slavery. That has been lesson of history, most men want to be comfortable, not free.

You make a good point; however, the leftists and totalitarians understand that it is the West and in particular the United States that stands in the way of their agenda. And to accomplish their goals, they MUST destroy Western Judeo-Christian culture, and they know that if they can accomplish that, the Buddhists and Hindus can be overrun without interference.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.

I hope that it doesn't bother anybody that I pinged this even though it's not school related. I know many homeschoolers, perhaps the majority, do so for religious reasons and this is an issue that could affect them all, especially if taken to the level of ensuring that all kids are public schooled to properly indoctrinate them.

One can make the case that sending children to public schools is child abuse, especially in the worst of schools.

The U. N. is going off the deep end. May they continue downwards like the swine that ran off the cliff when possessed with the demons.

The difference between the UN and the demoniac in Mark is that the demoniac KNEW that he was possessed and was WILLING to accept Salvation.

I can’t imagine why any parent would willingly send their kids somewhere everyday where they know that they are going to be teased and ridiculed, and possibly shot, beat up, or sexually abused.

Absolutely the UN is nothing but a leftist think tank anymore we should pull out and allow them to have an ambassador to the US...

We will work with them when it suits us..

What I would love to see (but we wont) is what the presidential candidates will have to say about this.

"Such abuse begins with the involuntary involvement of children in religious practices from the time they are born," says Narisetti. "All religions, through ritual, preaching, and religious texts, seek to bring children into day-to-day religious practice."

"This gives holy books and scriptures, as well as those who teach them, an early grip on the developing minds of young people, leaving an indelible impression on them," said Narisetti[...]
