Secularism must be overthrown. And it will be.
Just what in the Wild Wild World of Sports do they think the First Amendment is all about?
But the anti religious zeal of public education angers me to the point of jettisoning my secular views because they have been coopted by an anti Christian cabal. A strong word, but applicable.We Catholics are fortunate enough to enjoy bigotry from both ends of the social spectrum. On the one hand we are followers of the papal anti christ while on the other we are practitioners of medieval superstition, trying to impose our Taliban like beliefs on a free society. Too many of the leaders of the fight for the right to practice religious belief are in the former category and the enemy of course is in the latter. With whom does a Catholic enlist to protect the liberty or worship and Faith??
It's time to beat them at their own game by supporting the legal groups who sue back. Freedom will only come about through the courts. If not, then que sera, sera
I agree -- let's do it.
I'm not sure what "secularism" means exactly. But if it means non- religious, then it doesn't need to be overthrown. What needs to end is the state being involved in any way in things religious. Since we can't dissolve government schools right away (my preferred solution) then the people who attend those schools should be allowed self expression in celebrating their holidays. At Christmas, if christians are among the students they should be allowed to celebrate. If Jewish students are present at their holy times they should be given the same opportunity. Same for all students at the time of their holidays. The schools need not be involved using taxpayer money to promote or disparage these celebrations. They should keep out of any activities which do not disrupt the education process.
Christians and others ought to be left alone. IMO
Merry Christmas!!
I think the Supreme Court would take exception to this. The general rule is, if the organization allows similar acts on other occasions, then such activities at Christmas cannot be banned.
1. The phrase "Separation of Church and State", the John 3:16 of the Athiesm movement is NOT in the Constitution. Is is a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist church. Athiest want to say that Jefferson meant no Ten Commandments/Nativity Scene/etc. in schools, despite the fact that Jefferson made no effort to remove Christianity in schools when he became president.
2. Athiest claim that the phrase in the Constitution "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" was meant by the Founding Fathers to mean that not one bit of Christianity was to be allowed in schools. They of course forget that the Founding Fathers never did this themselves. Nor did anyone else until the 1960's.
3. Athiest forget the rest of the phrase in the Constitution which says "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech". Everytime a child is punished for sharing a Christmas card, or a teacher is not allowed to display the Ten Commandments, Government officials break this part the Constitution.
4. These Government official should be removed from their office of power immediatly, if not the law, then by armed citizens.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof";
I think that quite a few lawsuits are in order.
