My mother also told me to stand up for what I believe is right. I usually do it by way of rebelling.

Why not fight to get the law overturned instead of chanting satanic messages? Just sit down and not pray, it's a lot easier.


Honestly, I don't think it's fair to have prayers over the intercom in public school though.

It's only fair that if one religion is allowed prayers over the intercom, other religions should have the same right.

Civil disobedience was what helped to create America.

In truth, I don't mind prayers much.

do you know that some schools have the ten commandments by thier doors? if my school had that, i'd post flyers everywhere with extreme anti-christ messages... and the school cannot stop it because they allowed the ten commandments.

i'd have a satanic message painted on a piece of wood to put beside the ten commandments... and the school can't say no because it'd be discrimination.


civil disobedience is the alternate to violent rebellion, kryogenix.

The Ten Commandments trancends the boundaries of religion. They're a set of moral guidelines, you don't have to be Christian to follow them.

^ Wow, I don't even know what I just said. I'm feeling sick sad.gif

They are the moral codes of a certain belief system.

Morality is only absolute in a social context, since individuals have free will (but societies do not, their will is dictated by the social will of its members).

Free speech and toleration demands that his Satanic code be allowed alongside the commandments.

It's not Bush's fault that there is a deficit. But that's a different arguement. What mess are you talking about? As for the allies, do we want allies that stab us in the back ? (referring to the UN oil for food scandal)

It's people like you who are dividing the United States. We need to be united, just as we were before the Democratic primaries.

we were more united before bush, and i think all bush is doing to this country is destroying it. I reccomend you learn how to survive off the environment, because any moment now we will all be living in the woods, while the rich people become more rich because of their tax- cuts.

Who cares if the rich are getting richer?

Usually, when the rich get poorer, that's a bad sign.

the ten commandments do not transcend religious boundaries.


first off:

they declare there is a god
they declare that there is one god
they declare that you must worship this one god.


the rest of it has morality in it, but it's still a religious statment.

and plus, you allow one you allow them all, or else it's discrimination.

We weren't united during the American Revolution. We weren't united during civil rights movement. We weren't united during the Vietnam War. As you can see, there are many instances where good ole US of A isn't united but we're just fine years later.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be worrying. However, worrying is one thing, but paranoia is another.

What? How united were we on 9/12?



Exactly.

Yeah, I realize I wasn't thinking at the time. I was hungry and needed to get some orange juice. My mistake.

[edit] it could be a historical thing. the ten commandments are a primary source document. the school is doing you a favor by giving you a copy right next to the door wink.gif hehehe . if they had the constitution next to the door, would you post the articles of confederation around the school if you didn't agree with them?

ten commandments is historical in that it's part of the old testament ( i think).

if you want religion in school, take a religious studies class. because you can't justify putting one religious icon in front of a school but not another. and if you allow them all, that'd be a pretty crowded front lawn.
