So I’m up and It’s like 3:00AM. I’m watching the jesus channel and I’m about to shoot the TV. It’s like a train wreck. I don’t wanna stare but I just can’t look away. It’s so full of inaccuracies I don’t even know where to begin.
For one they quoted Benjamin Franklin as saying that we can’t run a country unless we get on our knees and pray. That’s pretty cool considering that he was an outspoken atheist.
They also had a lawyer on that stated that as soon as we took religion out of schools that’s when America’s schools went down hill. They state that the overwhelming majority of private schools in the USA are Christian based and they are scoring an average of 80 points higher on the SAT’s because they are christian based. Really? Because they’re Christian based? Not because of the smaller teacher to student ratio? Not because of better funding in most cases? It’s because of Jesus, huh? Amazing…
Oh and these people really really love George Bush. They firmly believe that God put him there. Of course they also follow John Hagee’s thought that God put Hitler in place to punish the sinning Jews too. I’m thinking that if God had anything to do with GW it was in the Hitler capacity.

“Not because of the smaller teacher to student ratio? Not because of better funding in most cases? It’s because of Jesus, huh? Amazing.”
Your anti-Christian tone aside, there is no evidence that smaller teacher-to-student ratio improves education. (Actually, it improves the bank accounts of the teacher unions.) Nor has increased funding helped. Money has been poured into education for decades and scores have either remained the same or they’ve sank.
And smearing Bush as Hitler is factually and historically mindless. (And I’m being polite.)
Perhaps you should stick to writing posts about anal sex. Atleast you were credible then.

Comment by aniche June 23, 2008 @ 2:37 amThe fear of God does wonders… just look at how kids turn out who have gone to church versus those who didn’t. And, I don’t mean showing up on Easter and Christmas Eve. I’m talking about kids who went every Sunday (and Sunday school before service) and on Wednesday nights.
It’s my opinion the fear of God makes people have a more-prominent moral compass.
Oh, I have no facts to back this up… I’m just saying it because it’s true.
But, who knows… just me spouting. I’m no angel, but I think it does work.
Comment by countofflanders December 31, 2008 @ 5:40 pmI was one of those kids. It fucked me up pretty bad and it’s just about the worst thing you do to prepare a kid for the real world. It’s pretty surprising when you get out of the house and open your eyes and find out there’s a whole big world out there that doesn’t have anything to do with Jesus. You’re one funny fuck my friend but I gotta disagree with you on this one.
