Does anybody here not see the connection between the total abolishment of Christianity from the Government Controlled Public School system and the atrocious conditions within them? Maybe it is just me, but when 150,000 guns are brought to school, STDS, pregnancies, rape, thievery and drug use are reaching critical levels, while the Witch club practices voodoo and other satanic occult practices, and the secularists sit back and watch as their godless (but oh so scientific, State-worshipping) schools go to Hell, I see something missing in the hearts of men.

When did Xianity ever stop those things? When I think of the medieval period, when the Church was at perhaps its most powerful, I don't think, "Jeez, no one ever got murdered or raped or disemboweled or pregnant or robbed or stricken by an STD back then."
What exactly is this "critical point"?

So I guess segregation, racism, oppression, torture, the inquisitions, the crusades, and so on just don't compare?
Where did the 150,000 guns figure come from? That seems pretty exaggerated, even for a fundie. Unless, of course, he is talking about the entire history of public schooling, in which case it is totally irrelevant anyway.
David D.G.,
(Puts hand up) Me! Me! Mr. Enigma, call on me! I don't see the connection.

"And hey, those godless heathens in Canada score better on international standardized tests, more Ph D candidates, more post-secondary school graduates, lower crime rates, fewer abortions, fewer unwanted pregnancies, higher life expectancies, and universal health care to boot. Maybe they made a deal with the devil in Ottawa." JustinGG - #27085
Mandy,
When my oldest daughter was in Middle School a group of Christian kids pulled her into the gym and tried to light her on fire. This was all because she was going through a "black clothing" phase and they accused her of being a witch. Luckily, her clothes didn't catch and she got away.
In my day everything was better! Men were real men! And real men in my day were twenty foot tall giants who could cut down an entire forest of sicamore trees with their bare hands. Real men ate nails for breakfast and crapped out bullets. In fact our bullets were better back then too; they made the atom bomb look like a paper weight. Back then when a man said he'd shoot you, you took him seriously. Not like today, no, a man says he'll shoot ya today and people'll laugh in his face. I remember back in the good old days when I was off in Bolgerea gunnin' down thousands of Communazgans with nothin' but a six shooter and a flask'a whiskey. I remember the first time I ever drank whiskey, twas a cold and blustery June mornin' in the year of ought'teen dickety six. Oh my but that was a good year indeed; all sorts'a pretty women in those days to go jitterbuggin' with. You see back then we used to jitterbug atop a flagpole, as it was the style of the time, and whoever fell off'n that pole last was the winner and we'd all go out and drink a big ol' round'a whiskey down at the ol' speakeasy den ta celebrate. The service in those places was terrific I tells ya, you just say the word an' the staff would get down on their knees and give ya a lil' bit'a the ol' hootchie koo, if'n ya know what I mean. Yessir I remember my first time at the ol' hootchie koo, I was a bit nervous at first, but the moment I stepped up to platre and lifted my ol' flour stick to hit the ball, everythin' jus' came natural. You see we had to use flour sticks when we played hootchie koo back then because the government'd taken away all our bats to use them against the British in the war. But did little thing like batless hootchie koo bother us? Nosir! Not one bit. Not like today, you young people're always complainin' about every little dang problem life throws yer way. Why in my day we had to walk eight miles, barefoot through the snow just to get to our mail boxes. And that was before fancy things like 'post offices' had been invented, we waited eight years for our mail to arrive and we damn well like it that way!
Kelian. That's scary. One, that people could still think that. Two, that people could do that. Let me guess they all had the same looney pastor?

Kelian and David D.G., where do your kids go to school? I'm from Connecticut and never heard of such insanity from children. BTW, I am not trying to act superior to you, nor am I trying to boast about my region.

Thank you for your response David D.G. I always find your posts to be well thought out and informed. Now that I know how things are in the Texas and Virginia schools, I wonder what they are like on the west coast, if someone could elaborate on this. I always dreamed of moving to California.
Christianity was not responsible for segregation, racism, oppression, torture, the inquisitions, or the crusades. That was just people being people and putting their "half-believed" spiritual belief as a label or cause to it. Jesus never preached racism, torture, oppression, or violence. So if a true Christian follows the teachings of Jesus, how can you blame Christianity for any of those negative things?
Hey RabidMutt.
When Jesus said the sword he meant opposition, not literally a sword. The sword he meant is the Word of God. It pierces and destroys evil men.

Every day, we say the pledge of allegiance in school. We do it, but we really don't care about it. Everything would be the same if there was no pledge everyday. It is the same for prayer. When prayer was mandatory in school, it was not a big deal for people, and there is no way it caused some kind of major downfall in morality.
The total abolishment of Christianity? Isn't like 75 percent of all Americans Christians?
What is an STDS? I know what a Sexual Transmitted Disease is, but what does the last S stand for?
Good to know that there is nothing missing in the heart of women, then. (Just making with the funnies, sorry...)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
