The problem with America is God hating Marxists trained in our schools (4 Viewers)

[dgreen]

2nd person lied to the first person too. And then 1st and 2nd person had kids out of wedlock.

Eve lied to Adam?

 

[Desert_Power]

Isn't there a Psalm by David talking about jacking it to the stories of Lot's daughters?  

More of a Song of Solomon fan myself.

 

[(HULK)]

Eve lied to Adam?

Yeah, about the apple IMO

 

[moleculo]

It's tough though cuz Judeo-Christian belief system is entwined throughout our society....always has been.

I get it....the left hates that legacy.  The left hates our colonial past.  They can't get past it and love to re-hash it 

The problem is the divergence of the two world views gets bigger as time goes on.

that's a pretty broad brush you are painting with.

 

[dgreen]

Interesting. I'm not seeing that and not sure I've heard that before. I enjoy hearing people's interpretations.

I feel like this is veering off into "let's make up an imaginary person and then get mad at that person" territory.  Of course, it's not as if this thread got off to a promising start given the OP or anything, but still.

a) Can you give an example of any horror films that has been protested by religious conservatives recently?  Or ever, even?  I don't recall any particular controversy surrounding The Exorcist, for example, but that was eons ago and I would have been too young to remember much about the launch of that film anyway.  Likewise for The Omen.  In the meantime, I've seen lots of horror films that involve bad things happening to kids, people being murdered in gruesome ways, etc. and none of them attracted anybody's ire that I know of.

The Exorcist was  controversial when it was released. Boston for example, at the urging of the Church, attempted to ban the film. A court overturned the decision made in Boston but Boston then put in place a rule that no minors could see The Exorcist, even with a parent. There were mass protests by religious groups in England. It was banned in several counties there. It also led to England passing a Video Recordings Act which banned several horror movies including the Exorcist from being bought or sold on video. You couldn't legally get a copy of The Exorcist in England until 1999. That was a tricky one though because much of the Church did support the film because it was basically supporting Catholic views on demons, priests, power of Satan, etc. 

However, I think you main point is correct. Religious groups haven't been vocal in protesting horror films. There protests have generally been towards movies they feel mock religion or contradict dogma (Life of Brian, Last Temptation of Christ) as well as movies with " immoral"sexuality (Brokeback Mountain).

 

[Leroy Hoard]

According to the Bible, the 3rd person killed the 4th person. We have been violent from the beginning. 

This was a final question on Jeopardy a few months back. They asked which biblical figure was responsible for killing a quarter of the then world population.

Don't forget Dogma itself!

Little known fact about Dogma...

Dogma is unavailable to stream or purchase digitally due to the film's rights being owned personally by Bob and Harvey Weinstein in a deal that predates streaming. It is also out of print on home media, leading to inflated prices among resellers.

Actually, I think God lied first now that I think about it. God lied about eating the fruit killing them if they eat it.

Now that's an interpretation I've definitely heard before and I can see why people think that. Still not seeing the Eve thing, though.

 

[KarmaPolice]

So you’re putting the content in the Bible on exactly the same content plane as wet ### #####, Saw and Call of Duty?

Overall intent of the Bible? Not really. 

If you break it down and look at examples of violence and sex? Yes, I think people who would have 0 issues with their kids reading the Bible would take issue with those types of examples in other mediums.

It's not exactly the same thing, but I think you are smart enough to get the general point of our posts.

The divergence between known science and Bronze Age religious texts gets wider as time goes on.

I get it. The right hates science and the fact that it undermines their faith. They can't get past it and love to rehash it. Thus the beginning of this thread. 

Eta - I don't actually agree with that generalization but providing you with an opposite example to show how crude and incendiary yours is.

What's to give though? No religion in public schools or government. Everyone's free to practice their faith without interfering with others.

What areas do you feel need compromise?

Keep in mind the thread wasn't started with "the problem with America is these God loving authoritarians trained in their churches". I think if you should be pointing the finger at anyone not wanting to give an inch, it's the OP types.

WTF? Your side literally and suddenly doesn't know what a "woman" is and you're going to peddle this ####?  You want to talk about slaves to the faith you need to look no further than that. 

Update:  Yeah, okay, I knee-jerked this post  Carry-on, nothing to see here..

a) Can you give an example of any horror films that has been protested by religious conservatives recently?  Or ever, even? 

Recently no. However up until 1968 the motion picture industry followed the "Hays Code" which was a censorship standard mostly inspired by various religious groups, especially the "Legion of Decency". If you're wondering if they were as bad as that names sounds, the answer would be yes. They would declare boycotts of theatres that showed films that didn't meet their severely "tight-assed" standards. From around 1930 until the mid 50's just about all the American studios followed the code but some directors and then studios started to push the lines until it collapsed and was replaced by the rating system that is used (with minor modifications) now.

It's not tough. The first amendment says the government will establish no religion. If you want god(s) and/or prayer in public school you must give everyone's religion equal treatment. What prayers would you like to see in schools? What about atheists? They get the same equal treatment as any other religion. Would be ok with a Satanic prayer? They're a real religion.

So no, Christians do not have a monopoly on what religions and prayers public schools can offer. Offer one, offer all. It's in the first amendment.

The problem is the government has established a religion in our schools. It starts with racist monkey theory being taught as fact when it is an unproven fantasy written by an old racist white guy.Teaching kids to hate whites and embrace gender confusion is the prevailing religion and if you don’t alter your speech to embrace the sick delusions you get in trouble. This is an awful anti Christian cult religion that does everything opposite of what natural law says. CRT, the gender unicorn, climate change are all false religions and need to be removed from schools. Teach reading writing and arithmetic stop the cult religion indoctrination.

If you don't like what's taught in public schools, you may want to consider home-schooling or perhaps there's a private school that better suits you.

Oh, and the use of the word "c*lt" is generally frowned upon on these boards. People get banned for it. HTH.

Stop teaching science apparently...if we can't teach evolution or climate change. Utterly ridiculous.

What if you don't hate god but don't believe in it's/their existence? Am I still a Marxist?

Nothing scientific about saying men can get pregnant or you can choose your gender. CO2 and now nitrogen are being attacked as pollutants when they are plant food. How much CO2 are we all breathing? I doubt you know off the top of your head because you have accepted lies as truth. Killing babies isn’t womens healthcare. Lies are not truth. Science isn’t supposed to be political Mumbai jumbo but that’s what it is now.

Do the racist monkey confused gender identity churches get tax breaks?

I'm all for religion in schools as long as churches pay taxes, the government decides which religion to follow, the government gets to choose who runs the churches and the government gets to set the rules the church and schools follow.

I mean you can just send your kid to Catholic school so they don't learn about Darwin
Oh wait our Catholic school teaches evolution..... Nevermind

 

[zoonation]

We have people who think evil is good. It’s due to indoctrination and ignorance. Forgive them Lord because they know not what they do.

Great Lie of Satan #1. Killing unborn babies is considered women’s health care. Too self centered to think about the consequences of having sex so let’s kill babies! Sixty million plus dead since Roe. It was never a right in the constitution. You don’t have the right to kill. So backwards and so evil.

Great lie of Satan # 2. You come from monkeys. Darwin believed that blacks were less evolved and very close to apes. He believed whites were more evolved. Stop teaching our kids this racist monkey theory. We were all created in Gods image. Why are there still monkeys? Did they get held back? Are they stuck in a time warp? Wanna stop institutional racism? Start with erasing this stupid racist monkey theory from textbooks. Blacks are just as smart as anyone and Darwin didn’t think so.

Great lie of Satan #3. Fossil fuels will kill us all. I am still waiting for the glaciers to melt and turn Florida into Atlantis. The climate has always changed. So what. Stop scaring our children to death with this alarmist nonsense. Why is the only answer to the fake problem total government control over everything you say or do. Look at Sri Lanka. They bought into the green mafia and they bankrupted the country. No food because nitrogen is now a pollutant same as carbon. Why are the building blocks of life demonized? Because the Davos crowd aren’t powerful enough already? Did you know that the rubber from your tires are more dangerous than tailpipe emissions? Heavy weight electric cars run through tires twice as fast. These cars are devastating to the environment. The mining for lithium alone makes them worse than ICE cars. What about the grid? Why are we paying 100 a barrel and shipping our SPR reserves to China and others?

Great lie from Satan #4. You can choose your gender and you should be proud if you choose homosexual, lesbian.or transgender lifestyles. Talk about giving God the finger. Instead of accepting the XY or XX you were given by our creator you decide what you want to be. And if you don’t teach this to kids we are going to hold back on lunches in school. Why is gender confusion and promoting lifestyles that result in no offspring promoted? Because it’s the exact opposite of what God wants us to do. Be fruitful and multiply.

The problem with America is we deny God in our schools. We raise trained Marxists indoctrinated to believe there is no truth. You can invent it on your own. If you believe you came from an animal and that only the material world exists you do whatever you want to. Killing babies. Destroying the nuclear family. Putting planned parenthood abortion centers near black high schools. Forty percent of all abortions come from just six percent of the population….blacks. Just plain evil institutionalized racist killing.

I guess? But the statement is pretty meaningless. You are saying that people can form beliefs based on evidence and they can also form beliefs not based on evidence.
