I like to bring this subject up. Here's the question: Should swearing God's name in vain be banned from public schools?
I would say yes, it should be banned. My reason: Because of the fact that I'm trying to be religious and hearing things like, "Oh my ***," can offend me. It's like another way of offending somebody's religion. Some people might say "No." A possible reason is that they aren't religious. Some teachers in my school don't allow people saying that term, "Oh my ***," because it offends Christianity, and it's the dominant religion in the US. Other teachers will let you say it because they don't care about that term that much. Another possible reason people won't want to ban it is that it might be a "waste of a rule." How is that a possible reason b/c it's a "waste of a rule"? Consider the facts: Yes, there are a lot of Evangalistic Christian parents, but is there a lot of Evangalistic children? If there isn't, it would make that rule "a waste of a rule." So what's your opinion? **edit** (update) |

I don't see how some Christians could live with such condemnation towards others and say that their job is to spread God's love. You want pure hypocrisy? I just provided the example. If you want to learn more about the ORIGINS of Christmas or debate about it, please refer to the thread titled "you can't have it both ways!!!!". Though, I don't see how one could argue against facts of history. |
