Trump touts proposed Bible literacy classes in state schools

[blake9999]

President Trump on Monday embraced proposals from lawmakers in six states that would allow public schools to offer Bible literacy classes.

The president's tweet came shortly after the subject was discussed on "Fox & Friends."

"Numerous states introducing Bible Literacy classes, giving students the option of studying the Bible. Starting to make a turn back? Great!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

So much for the seperation of Church and State.

churches receive 501(c)(3) non-profit status..there's NEVER been separation since they've allowed this and in 1980, Ronnie solidified the relationship.

42% of total polling consists of two people who haven't announced- Biden and Sanders.

Imagine the turmoil it's going to cause when kids go home and inform their parents that they've been wrong about the Bible their entire lives.

Best way to keep a cult going is to brainwash the kids.

I don't think religion should have a place in education or politics

Oh sure , this is real and Santa is fake...worst President in history

Version wars to come.

only difference b/t cults and religions are that religions have more members.

It does historically and sociologically, because the Christian doctrine is the one the founders built the country upon. So, if you don't include it, in an historical sense, then there would be a big gap in explaining how nation building is accomplished. You have to have a set of rules that all or most of the population agree with, to live by. America's started out as the Christian doctrine.

But teaching religion as if it is taught in Sunday school....no.

 

[Grandpapy]

It's ok, all of the other religions/cults will have equal time, for proper perspective.

 

[rkymtnman]

because the Christian doctrine is the one the founders built the country upon.

no mention of the word God in the Constitution though. that was a planned exclusion.

 

[Grandpapy]

I can see a 10% tithe to the dept of education.

 

[TacoMac]

No, it is not. In fact, they actually went out of their way to try to get rid of it.

They specifically state that religion has no business anywhere other than the individual and his god, that it has no place in the public eye.

That’s fake history, christo-fascist

Is that why "inalienable rights" are synonymous with "God-given rights"?

 

[UncleBuck]

Aren’t you late to a klan rally or hate crime?

 

[bundee1]

Is that why "inalienable rights" are synonymous with "God-given rights"?

Is that why you're president is caging children and encouraging racism and homophobia? God? Get the fuck outta here.

god is only for people that can't think for themselves.

like kanti is an antonym for intelligent.

several of our founding fathers were deist. not Christians. the declaration of independence was based on the writings of Rousseau and Locke.and they did not support a state religion.

You are an entirely new class of stupid.

'Inalienable' simply means that they can not be made foriegn to you, in other words they can't be taken away.

And it says "their creator", not God, leaving it wide open for whoever reads it to believe in the God of their choice or no God at all.

It's basic fucking English, you dolt.
