I mean, where to start?

I'm a man of faith, but keeping religion out of school is a good thing. There's no need to teach Bible study in public schools.

Who wrote this language? "indispensable for the development of an educated citizenry" - Sounds like it was written by a founding Father.

“natural marriage” between a man and a woman is most likely to result in offspring who do not become drug-addicted or otherwise damaged.

Again, what the hell? How could they possibly know this? Since gays are about 1% of the population or less, and an even smaller subset of that percentage are gay couples with kids, this claim is just ludicrous. Was there a study done?

We all want smaller government, civil liberty, less regulation and more freedoms. Except the hypocrisy of these statements is fairly absolute when it attempts to control the civil liberties of people.

I am really confused by some of these quotes.

Ooooh... so they’re fascist!

If that’s the NYT’s view, no wonder the country is doomed.

For the NYT, so sad, too bad.

Kids will be studying the Koran in public schools within a year if HRC is elected.

Shrug, no news here. NYT thinks if you believe in GOD it means you are “far” right. I’m not too worried about what the NYT writes.

NYT is so far left, it has no idea what right is.

It also encourages the teaching of the Bible in public schools because, the amendment said, a good understanding of its contents is “indispensable for the development of an educated citizenry.”

The NY Times is a newspaper. It is allegedly written in English. Therefore they obviously know that a huge number of our idioms in American English come from the BIBLE. Hence it is essential knowledge even to atheists.

I think they assume most people won’t read the platform.

This is from the NYT, so it’s not true. Calm down.

They just copied and pasted the Democrat platform from 50 years ago.

How can you truly understand US history and our founding documents without at least a passing familiarity with the Bible?

Absent an understanding of the principles in the Bible kids like myself grow up thinking nonsense like that the US was an atheist country created by and for atheists and that the whole mess with churches and Christians is an anomaly that has nothing at all to do with the American continuum.

Can’t say I really care too much about what is in either party’s platform. No one follows the platform. It’s probably just an exercise in making a part of the party feel like they are being listened to. BTW, I love your screen name. I’m a drummer and play that song all the time.

The NYT disapproves of the Republican platform. Good, it gives me a chance to clutch these here pearls what I got on Ebay. They're genuine - one of 'em still has the clam attached. Oh, oysters? Uh-oh...

Keeping GOVERNMENT out of school is a good thing. Compare your local Catholic schools with your local government schools. In most, maybe all, places the Catholic (religious) schools fare far better in the comparison.

There's no need to teach Bible study in public schools.

There's no legitimate justification for government schools to exist. Privatize education: it's far too important to continue letting the government make a hash of it.

“natural marriage” between a man and a woman is most likely to result in offspring who do not become drug-addicted or otherwise damaged.

Faggots pretending to marry won't produce any children at all. The link between broken homes and screwed up children has been demonstrated for decades. Heather does a lot better with her mother and father than with the "two mommies" in the title of the infamous book.

attempts to control the civil liberties of people.

Faggots pretending to marry aren't exercising civil liberties, they're undermining the civil society.

That should clear up your confusion.

Then get rid of evolution, humanism and politics.

Daniel Webster called the Bible,

A RICH SUPPLY OF THOUGHT


You got something against righteous thought processes ?
