Mr. Pot, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Kettle.

Mr. Kettle, Mr. Pot.

I guess these extreme atheists want to find every way possible to attack religious people.


They stoop so low as to attack improvised memorials created by families and friends of those who have died.



For those atheists who are part of this stupidity -- fvck off.

I agree.

[SlowwHand]

I doubt that very seriously.
At no time, while being serious, have I lumped a group of anyone together.

Except damned Mexicans. And Yankees. And Canadians. And..

Asher:

2) Then immediately expels said student

I suggest you reread your source. He was not immediately banned, he was offered the choice to go to counselling and to remain in the school.

Give me a break...he was in counselling the year before, this is the outcome of it. He'd finally accepted it and was moving on.

By "counselling" they mean some form of brainwashing where they can attempt to convince him he's straight rather than gay. That's not a choice.

Would you go to "counselling" telling you God wants you to take it up the ass, or would you decline that "option"?

I only use them because they work.

Do you really want to know what I would do in his situation?

If I went to a Catholic school, and found some of their teachings to be against what I believe, the first thing I would do is to make sure that the teachers teach what they ought to be teaching.

Secondly, if it is not the teacher, than I leave.

Do I sue the school for not 'accepting' me? No.

This is called taking personal responsibility for your decisions. He chose to approach the Catholic school, and did not like the consequences of his choice, so he is going to sue.

It's the same with any church, everyone has to repent, no one's sin gets treated any differently. If you don't like it, than leave.

Don't let the door smack your butt on the way out.

And so ends another inspiring episode of "Touched by an Atheist!"

[Shi Huangdi]

*cough* that school isn't Catholic *cough*

Forty-year-old Jupiter Christian School is a conservative, Bible-based school that is not affiliated with any church. About 630 students attend grades K-12; high-schoolers pay $6,575 a year to attend.

If this school were Catholic, it'd be violating the Church teaching prohibiting discrimination against homosexuals. Nice troll anyway Japher!

I need to make sure I miss that episode... But I did like the one where the little girl was dying and then she was "touched by an atheist." He read something from Darwin and then the little girl rolled her eyes and died. (It was quite moving). May she rot in peace...

If you recall my earlier post I never said anything about instability or health. Do gay people have special problems, that would cause you to mention these points?

I said that to remain consistent with their religious teachings they ought to offer counselling to anyone who is gay.

I know what your argument is based on, but in the context of that particular flawed argument, I thought you used the concept of "counseling" as a means to convert one's sexual orientation.

1) sexual orientation cannot be changed -- it can only be repressed/denied

2) non-heterosexual orientations are not inherently unhealthy as to require the so-called "counseling" I thought you were implying



But back to those unconstitutional teddy bears, cards, and flowers.

You forgot about Mr Lincoln, who said something about atheists offended by teddy bears.

"Our position basically is that we're against it (the memorials)," David Condo, Maryland state director for American Atheists, told CNSNews.com. "We don't think it makes sense from a driver's safety perspective, for one. If you're looking at a memorial or any other thing that's been put on the road, then you're certainly not looking at the road. If it's religious in nature it could also be offensive to anyone who just wants to use the road. So it doesn't make sense from a couple of perspectives."

While we're getting rid of things that are distracting, let's remove billboards. Especially since they could be offensive to just about anyone on the road.
