The Christian Roots of America's Schools

[UnrepentantSinner]

I don't see what jesus has to do with the three R's?

Religion, Reformation and Reconstructionism.

Sheeesh, know your enemies.

Of course if I were in charge of America we'd concentrate on the "3 Es" -

Education, Evolution and Enlightenment.

Not "Ears?" As in Ears on Mouses?

I love reading DOC's posts.

It reminds me that the endemic "Lying for Jesus" of most xians is the root cause of me becoming an atheist.

I just wish I had come across DOC-like posts earlier in my life.

I wish I could get a refund from the "Liars for Jesus" for all the time, effort and money that I wasted because of them.

DOC - On behalf of all "Liars for Jesus" you owe me $1,000's - I will accept cash.

How could I forget. That will be in the supplimental material and, of course, will be discussed during holidays and dates worthy of note. Oh, and whenever Elvis comes up.

Wouldn't it be better to leave Elvis exactly where he is? Ew.

Root rot.

 

[DOC]

Oh, goody gumdrops. Another thread where DOC repeats more of Kennedy's lies.

This is phase one of a multi-phase project. Phase two will be where Kennedy's lies are discredited by some elementary research. Phase three will be where DOC tells more lies of his own. Phase four will be where DOC's personal lies are discredited.

I'm hoping that by posting this, we can jump straight to phase five, where DOC indignantly demands proof of his lies so that he can ignore the proof and return to phase 1.

What does it say about a person when he is irritated about learning some history about his own country.

And what does it say about the direction a country is going when a considerable number of its citizens show displeasure at threads that simply discuss their country's history.

 

[DOC]

Care to cite an example of this?

Here is an example where the college of William and Mary's president removed a cross from the very chapel Jefferson said prayers in when he was a student at the school. And remember this is a school that was founded partially to propagate the Christian faith.

"Administrators at the College of William & Mary, responding to months of harsh criticism from alumni, ordered the immediate return of a cross to the Williamsburg school's historic Wren Chapel yesterday. Alumni angered by the removal of the cross in October threatened to withhold millions of dollars of donations -- including a $12 million gift."

Strike and blue insert my correction.

And I'd say that means he's a concerned citizen worried about Reconstructionists and Revisionists like Kennedy and Barton.

My kind of American.

 

[DOC]

And slaughter some Native Americans... DOC approved of that too.

If your going to say I approved of the slaughter of Native Americans, then your going to have to say you approved of the slaughter of up to 50,000 Native Americans a year by the Aztecs.

What part of the OP is revisionist history.

Guys, does a logical fallacy of this magnitude count as an automatic lie as well?

What part of the OP is revisionist history.

This exact OP here, not much. except you have yet to prove or provide evidence for this statement.

Today, for the most part, God's Word is mocked in the very schools that were founded by the sweat of Christians".

And as Kmortis and myself pointed out, the original US schools were of religious origin. however, we improved the school system since then. One of the many improvements has been the secularization of eduation.

Remember that chemistry has it's origins in Alchemy, but that doesn't mean alchemy is any more valid. It just means we know better now.

Thats because his statement is a lie. He's a Liar for Jesus, and honesty and integrity just don't matter to that type.

God is being mocked? Is that like saying the invisible pink unicorn prances funny, and doesn't clean up after himself?

Yeah... and about exactly as many people are mocking unicorns as are mocking "God". It is one of those pathetic lies Christians tell each other to prop up their persecution delusions. They are sad, hateful people, who blame others for their deep unhappiness. They are empty, and since their cult hasn't filled the emptiness, they blame everyone else for not joining their cult.

You'd think someone who doesn't view the world in black and white terms would get sick of your myopic pedranty after a few months but all it does it energize me. The OP is technically correct, but the overall theme of the revisionist history that Kennedy, Barton and you engage in should be exposed for the BS that it is.

I'm going to make a bet with you DOC. There's a book I'd like you to read. You should be able to get an older edition via Inter-library loan if your local site doesn't have it. "The Godless Constitution". Read it and then try and defend your position that America was supposed to be JerUSAlem on the Patomac.

Are you up to it?

The IPU is a he!

[brodski]

Is the fact that many prestigious US schools were founded by Christians with a Christian element more or less relevant than the fact that Christianity was founded on Judaism?
I mean, if it is wrong for those schools to change to become secular then it follows that it is also wrong for Christians to not require circumcision as a part of their faith, to work on Saturday and to not keep kosher. Anything else would be a betrayal of roots.

So, what about it DOC? Will you be giving up bacon? Or anything else?

I asked you to cite an example of God's word being mocked. Can you do this?
