I have been honest with my posts. Kurto is just out to prove me as a liar for some reason so that is all he says about me.

There are lawsuits like these also all across the country.

You guys are acting like this isn't even an issue, but court cases are saying otherwise.

Even Dan Dennet agrees with what i am saying.

LOL, wow, triple edit. I see your post, it's just the first line. I refresh the page after reading the link, a second line appears. I click 'Quote' and Lo! a third line appears.

Anyway, what is it you think the link you've provided demonstrates?

And what specifically are you saying that Dan Dennett agrees with? Do you mean you really are saying you think comparative religious studies should be incorporated into the curriculum? Meaning that children would be taught about Shintoism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, etc? AFAIK that's Dennett's stance on the matter... you too (me three!)?

Edit: yes, I probably mean 'double edit'. Whatever...

I can't add to posts now? Nobody said anything when sixt4 added to his post.

The only ones who would really be against that would be the fundamentals religionist who don't want their children corrupted by false teaching.

I just find it amusing. Any response to the substance of the post?

yeah i dont like that rule.

I'm not basing this on Kurto, I'm basing this on what I've read of yours where you demonstrate almost a total lack of ability to engage in a critical conversation where reasoning, evidence, or logic plays a central role.

Ready to put your money where your mouth is yet regarding finding Biblical contradictions?

More like i have just not had time to put in the necessary research, i have already stated this already.

For get about trying to find a contradiction then because like i said i am not putting money on God's Word. If you can't respect that i can care less what you think.

NO--Daniel Dennett does NOT agree with what you are saying at all. You are arguing that schools ought to teach courses on Christianity from an explicitly religious context, as though Christianity were true so that students get an idea of what it is like for believers. If you want this, go to a Christian school like I did, because you will get plenty of this. Dennett is arguing for a course that teaches the basic doctrines, beliefs, and practices of all the major religions without the assumption that any of them are "true". Those are not the same propositions at all.

Just to illustrate the difference:

In Catholic school, when analyzing a passage from the Gospels, we were asked to write about "what that passage says about God's love for us." When I got to college, the same passage was approached from the perspective of, "what does this passage say about the culture and time in which it was written, and what is the author trying to impart?"

Do you see how different questions these are? Do you see how much more useful the latter is for a student's intellectual growth?

I said as though it is a possibility, can you guys stop twisting my words around already? It is getting old.

I edit each of my posts at least 5 times. Deal with it.

[QUOTE=Russian Roulette;19047230] Can't say I agree with you on teaching the Koran. This is where the culture of tolerance goes a bit overboard.

Its also where you wind up arguing out of context.

The U.S. is still under majority rule. There's no where it says that minorities have an equal say just that their rights are to be protected. They have no right to infringe on the majority's rights.

Even the Buddhist Nhich That Hanh says you can't divorce religion from culture and there's no reason that the majority should abdicate its beliefs to include irrelevant foreign ones that are only going to confuse their children. You have to master your own before you learn anyone else's.

I simply post your own words with other posts of yours to demonstrate how, in your own words, how full of it you are.

Just so we're clear... if 9 posters say one thing, and one says they're from the UK... you assume everyone is from the UK?

How many slaves does your family still own?

Splendour, Pletho and Gunth in one thread. The comedic holy trinity is here!

Some of those posters if not most of them have made it clear that they are not from the U.S. in other threads.

Its still majority rule in the U.S.

Minorities possess freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of political expression.

Since theology is a hard subject to master why would you insist on injecting confusion into the process and interrupt the parental right to educate one's children?

Its obviously confusing for a lot of atheists since they frequently misinterpret the OT and deliberately controvert the ancient Hebrews explanation on the nature of God to supplant it with their own negativistic version instead of researching it.

I listed the one that was not from the US.

Please share which of the others are not. Since we've seen how flawless your memory is this should be easy for you.

Kurto i am not playing this game with you anymore, you can go figure it out yourself since you have so much free time.

Ha. I was just kidding. I just wanted to see you post that you weren't going to do it. Which you do everything you're wrong.

I think Splendour, Pletho and Gunth are all the same person.

Why do they all spend so much time discussing religion on an atheist dominated forum? Especially when they're such ridiculously hardcore Christians. I know the reason I'm here is because I'm a lazy SOB and Firefox makes it all too easy to get here. All I have to do is stick "re" in the address bar and it'll pop up with RGT.

So...winner by forfeit...ME!!!!!!!!!!

This is a nice, convenient excuse for you to not get your ass whipped on Biblical contradictions.

You're so full of crap...excuses everywhere for why you CAN'T defend the stupid garbage you spout.
