No surprise you had to mention race and accuse me of racism. And no, unlike ones race which you cannot change (unless your Michael Jackson), one can change ones religion.Originally Posted by porchrat

I never accused you of racism at all. READ IT MORE CLOSELY.
I'm merely taking your logic to its ultimate conclusion as both are protected under the very same subsection within the Bill of Rights.
The box said "requires Windows7 or better" so I installed Linux.
Shouldn't children be protected from religion?
It's funny, there are private religious schools like St Peters where parents are willing to pay more than university costs for prep school for their kids just so that they can have less rifraf and their kids can be with other rich, religios kids.
It can be up to 60k a year for a kid in grade 0
There are other private religious schools that are way worse than St Peters though.
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.
How can this even be a question.
If people aren't allowed to use their money to create a religious based school, we would effectively be living in a police state.
Well what about The Philosophy of Liberty then?
It's like saying shouldn't children be protected from atheism. Children can make up their own mind when they have grown up. It is the duty of the parents to raise their children as best they can, and as they see best.

People are credulous animals.
Sometimes they need to be controlled.
Private schools can pretty much do what they want, have a session of crying in tongues while everyone convulses every morning at registration if they like. But public schools must be secular.
Would you like your kids learning about Xenu and taught as science?
Well thats what would happen if religious people got their way in schools.Xenu was, according to the founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people to Earth in a DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Official Scientology scriptures hold that the essences of these many people remained, and that they form around people in modern times, causing them spiritual harm
Thankfully they don't get their way. Some aspects of our lives need to be controlled for the sake of our own benefit.

That's funny, children don't need protections from atheists, rofl, they are atheists (by definition of course) until their parents teach them about all the special characters like Jesus, the easter bunnies and the tokolosh.
And then they confuse the crap out of the poor kids by saying... oh wait kid.. you know all those special characters that we taught you... the ones you can't see? well they don't exist.
*kid cries and rolls on the floor wailing..*
Oh wait don't be sad, Jesus is still real.
You also show atheistic tendencies to all the other thousands of Gods so you not liking atheism is a bit strange if you ask me.
Edit: Oh look, I found an atheist child

Yo Coolbug, you sound like a psycho dictator buddy, no different from communist China today.
It's your right to reject Jesus or any other religion, but don't step on my rights as a parent or citizen to practise the right to freedom of religion, or I'll step on your rights.
How old are you? You have no idea just what it is you are selling do you. Just how dangerous it is.
I ask your age, because what has failed you here is empathy (and perhaps a little common sense). While you are willing to sacrifice someone else's rights to religion -- someone else might be willing to sell your right to free speech; alcohol; freedom of association; earn a wage, etc.
Democracy crumbles a brick at a time.
LOL, try selling your slave mentality to someone else, I ain't buying.People are credulous animals.
Sometimes they need to be controlled.
I honestly cant see a jewish school accepting 100 new islamic kids starting grade one and vice versa. It ain't gonna happen. You have to keep in mind that it's a private school.
entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem
China makes all your schit so don't be hating them. China can only be a communist state, I do not think democracy would work in China.
What I'm selling? How on earth is a secular state dangerous?
I'll say it again and I think it's funny that you argue with this fact:
People are credulous animals.
Sometimes they need to be controlled.
I point you to law, police, courts, mental institutions. We do need to be controlled sometimes for our own good. You can't have as much freedom as you want, this isn't the 60s.

Expelled is a movie about creationists trying to teach their fables in universities as science.
They needed to be controlled and kicked the hell out of universities and black listed for thinking they are free to teach their crap as science.
I have no problem with you practicing your religion at church or at your home I don't care if you shout at your kids in tongues, just don't think that schits normal and come into society trying to teach or impose these things on other people.

Religion based schools in a secular state
Children should be taught to make up their own minds.
There is no need to protect them from religion. They are smart enough to figure it out for themselves. And if they make the wrong choice, so what? It's part of growing up.
Anyway, try to protect children from something usually has the opposite effect. Until they learn themselves.
Every time you use a nested table(Oracle) a puppy dies
I agree, just look at convent girls.

Hey, leave them alone.

LOL dude.
You're confusing issues. We are a secular state buddy. But that doesn't retract from people being allowed to establish religious schools.
Your problem here is that the basis of your argument is that - religion is evil / wrong / bad, whatever.
Point being: you can't pick and choose what freedoms are "allowed" and what aren't. You are selling a form of fascism-lite.
Pack your bags and head over to China if that is what you want, I prefer real democracy. Stop trying to trample on my rights for f*** sakes!!!!!! Get it???
I ask you again how old are you? Not trying to be insulting here, just curious.
