I just gotta talk about this.....ok, so shoot me.
I'm watching CNN tonight, and I see this story on Anderson Cooper 360 about this high school Junior. He's in history class and his teacher is preaching religion. This is in a public school. For one thing, that's against FEDERAL LAW, not to mention state law. He's telling the class that if they don't believe in Jesus, they DESERVE to be in hell. They played this guy, on tape, on CNN. This is the shit he was telling his high school class. Geeez.
So the kid, who Anderson interviewed and who came off as very well spoken and articulate, figures, well my teacher saying this stuff isn't right. True, it isn't. He also figures that if he brought his teacher's "preaching" to the principal, he wouldn't be believed. Very asstute of him, since he's right, he wasn't believed.
So he had taped the teacher during class, preaching Jesus, fire and brimstone etc. That's the tape that Anderson Cooper played on CNN.
The kid goes to the the principal, tells him what's going on, the teacher is called in, the teacher denies everything. First off, what true Christian is going to lie like that?
The kid pipes up, "hmm...I have you on tape dude"
(he didn't say dude, but you get the point)
The KID GETS SUSPENDED for taping the teacher. I didn't catch what happened to the teacher, but I doubt anything happened to him.
Now, what's REALLY off the chain, is that the kid is now getting DEATH THREATS from other Christians in the community, for outting the teacher's transgressions.
WTF???????????? Religion is really getting out of hand, me thinks.
We have teachers preaching religion in public schools and lying about it, Christians threatening death to a kid, Christians who steal from their employer and then use the "oh I'd never do that, I'm a good Christian and have an impecable reputation to prove it" alibi when they get caught or accused.
And we have Christian run companies who have mandatory bible study and prayers during work hours, even if you're NOT a Christian.
We have Christians who believe that Jesus and Christianity are the way to wealth and power. We're talking monetary wealth, (like you can really take it with you when you die), and they've already proven they can have political power. (Evidence GWB)
We have Christians who suddenly now feel it's vital to try to shove religion down EVERYONE'S THROATS and that it's their God given duty to force all the rest of us to kneel to their way of thinking. I don't get why they suddenly feel so compelled to do this, but I sure don't want to hear it, nor do I want to live under politics which is supposed to be separated from church and state.
I don't like religion which changes with the times, because if you DO believe in the bible, you should be believing that God's word doesn't change to fit the times. Evidence the Mormons who always believed that polygamy was an "everlasting covenant" which God supposedly change his mind on just so Utah could gain statehood.
Religion is getting way too crazy for my liking. That's why I don't participate.
You religious fanatics need to come to CherryTap and have EVERYONE buy you a chill pill.
