Don't Elect Religious Leaders to School Boards

Hello All,
   Clearly electing religious leaders to a School Board is a bad idea. Ex-Rockingham County Board of Education member Ron Price is using an unconstitutional North Carolina law to try and proselytize to the school board meeting attendees as members of the board. Fortunately, some Supreme Court case struck down the law as unconstitutional. The fact that the law was passed is a testament to the stubbornness and indoctrinated nature of the majority of citizens in a state such as North Carolina. The best part is that when a board attorney said that the board would be sued and lose, a CURRENT MEMBER said that said attorney, Jill Wilson should be fired. So if you think religion can mix take it from Thomas Jefferson who advocated Virginia Statute for  Religous Freedom. On religion and government, he says, "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." Keep religion out of government for everyone.

5 Questions Atheists Cannot Answer (Answered)

Hello All,    Sorry I haven't posted in a while, between running and schoolwork I've been busier than normal, so here's a new post. So, SJ Thompson, a religious apologist, specifically Christian, has posted 5 questions for atheists, this post is from May of last year, but I just found it today perusing the black hole of doom, gloom, and depression that is the internet.  So her first question is, " So, why do even individualists know that we ought to help the weak, feed the poor, and be honest, humble, just, cooperative, empathetic, forgiving and loving? Why is it that all societies, regardless of their practices, know what we   ought   to do? Where did we get this moral compass?" My answer is a quote from the Greater Good Magazine run by UC Berkley, " We are so used to empathy that we take it for granted, yet it is essential to human society as we know it. Our morality depends on it: How could anyone be expected to follow the golden rule without the ...

My Take on the Pa State House Invocation

Hello All,      I'm sure that most if not all of you have read about or heard about the situation that occurred in the Pa State Legislature. I've refrained from comment so far so as it enables me to fully comprehend the intricate nature of this situation.    My objection to the invocation is a legal one. Although I am of the opinion that the invocation shouldn't have happened in the first place, as it proselytized the Christian faith to those who may not share said religious convictions, or to those who hold no religious convictions at all. However, the invocation happened… so it goes. Alex Luchenitser, associate legal director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State said, “Opening prayers should be inclusive and respectful to the whole community, They should never be divisive. They should not proselytize. ” I agree with Mr. Luchenitser’s assessment of what an invocation should be, if it even happens. Here are a few quotes support...
