Latest Meme From Religious Right - We Need Jesus In Schools To Stop Carnage And -----

I guess the Bible too. Or maybe religion classes and prayer before each period too. At least it looks like that is what one Oklahoma legislator believes.

Just cannot take this crap anymore. Religion is the answer for everything. Even the common cold. -- Raw Story.

It just takes one nut with a semiauto and lots of expanded magazines.

If Jesus couldn't stop Dylann Roof from shooting up a church, how is Jesus going to stop someone from shooting up a school?

But that one as well. You have to wonder when some articulate survivor of a church shooting comes forward as well. Motivation is mostly irrevalent it is capability.

Being supernatural and omnipotent, I guess He would figure out how to be at all schools at once. Yep, actually sounds like a plan to me. (Sarcasm Alert)

They are unrelenting in pushing that we need religion in school. They don’t understand that means allowing all religions in school, not just their brand of Christianity. Seriously anyone can pray quietly anytime they want during the school day. No one is taking any Bibles from students. But it’s tough to convince them.

The last time one of my Southern "friends" from high school went on a rant about putting prayer back into the schools I simply asked who's prayer book should they allow. Knowing full well he meant Christian prayers only.

When I pointed out he'd have to allow Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikh, Shinto, Buddhist and others in addition to Christian prayers he lost it and unfriended me. Oh darn.

Read and discuss the Bible in you free time. Teachers can read their Bibles and pray together in the teacher's lounge.

Religion has caused more needless killing in our species than anything else, except for maybe small pox, starvation, and cholera.

We can’t base everything on make believe. Our computers would stop working.

All they preach is Old Testament. A vengeful God. Never a forgiving Jesus.
