Louisiana Republican Supports State Funds For Religious Schools, As Long As They’re Not Islamic

I didn't really need to read the information but i did... and i gotta say if you're going to let one religion be taught you have to let them all be taught. This is America. Which stands for freedom. Which means freedom of choice. Whether that choice be what religion someone wants to find out about or what college they want to go too! So it all depends on if the people who make those decisions about the possible curriculum are willing to let their students have the necessary freedom to explore themselves in a Spiritual way. But hey sometimes people just explore other religious schools just to Open their Minds. They're not converting or plotting the end of the world. That would be any type of hate or fear that exists in this world.
Veritas Lux Mea

"I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America’s Founding Fathers’ religion, which is Christianity"
First and foremost our founding fathers were NOT all of the same religious faith. This is patently untrue. The early presidents and patriots were generally Deists or Unitarians, believing in some form of impersonal Providence but rejecting the divinity of Jesus and the absurdities of the Old and New testaments.

She needs to brush up on our history. Also she is going to get an ass kicking for discrimination on her part if they even try to stop funds to schools that teach Islam. Fact is Islamic people have hated those terrorist for staining the religion on 9/11.

The ignorant have believed that ALL Muslims are taught to hate the Western countries for not following the true religion of Islam. Only the radicals have made this noise.

The republicans think its fine to violate other peoples rights.and speaking of the founding fathers Ben Franklin helped raise money to open the first synagogue in america.

but to add; JIHAD killing scum were not there then..

no just french and english killing scum the ones we had wars with but their the same basic religion as americans so their ok right.

What an idiot...

Vouchers are a government trojan horse into private institutions. Most conservative-flavored statists are too wrapped up in their own zeal to recognize this.

As soon as, say, a private religious institution starts taking government vouchers, it becomes *dependent* on those vouchers to stay afloat. Then, the government steps in and says you can't preach about X, Y and Z so long as you take government vouchers. BOOM! The school has to choose between closing up or getting with the public school program.

the problem with our religion-neutral constitution is that if we allow government funding for any religious activity pretty soon other religious groups are clamoring for equal treatment and funding. i'm very conscious of prejudice against islam (and think it will continue until american muslims and rational muslims in other places soundly condemn the islamo-lunatic terrorists who think that they have to kill everybody) and "understand" the antipathy many americans and other rational people feel toward islam in general. but our constitution forbids government entanglement with religion, and if we allow government entanglement with some sects, we're not going to be able to prevent government entanglement with sects we don't like as well.

more and more, i am finding just about ALL religious institutions to be problematic, given that they are all based on belief in things that can be shown to exist only in people's imaginations, and that religion is so often used to disadvantage people who don't have the same beliefs.

NO GOVERNMENT SUPPORT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS FOR ANY RELIGION! NONE!

Even if she got her way, some of the most offensive aspects of Sharia law can still be found in the Bible.

Biased article. :/

how so?

The article comes from ThinkProgressive, which has a left-wing slant. It's just as reliable as all those right-wing sources, like FOX News which is a joke.

i didn't notice any particular bias in the article.

Looking at related articles it talks about how Republicans suck. That's what I see when I click on the link.

ok ... i still don't see any bias in the article itself. and i doubt that the articles say "republicans suck": more likely there are other articles that SHOW how SOME republicans suck.

and BTW: i found an article there about George W. Bush which praises him for some of his current activities ... and i posted my own question:

http://www.sodahead.com/unite...

check it out to see how i even have something good to say about my arch-nemesis Dubya!!

The thing that bugs me is the generalization of parties on either side. The fact that the site the article was sourced from is a Progressive website and the negative attitude towards Republicans is a little unnerving.

... sometimes even pretty stubborn and opinionated people have valid things to say ...

Sometimes a stopped clock is right. But credibility? Kinda suspicious.

i've heard that ... but most people are not pure evil through and through - sometimes they have something valid to say even if they are stupid fcuking a-holes about a lot of other things ... IMHO.

True. But like FOX News, I'd be wary of it. OK, maybe not so much as FOX News. That's almost an insult right there.

Mark leave it be he is baiting you. lol

If I were baiting him I'd be picking at his grammar, such as your run-on sentence.

But you see I really don't give a rats @ss what you think about my run-on sentence. Now if that all, have a great evening Grammar teacher!

*rat's
*ass
*that's

Thanks teacher.

You're welcome.

You should thank her. You need the help.

I don't need anything from anti-Muslim bigots.

I would if he was a girl. Beyond the petty call out on spelling my point was made.

i'm not a fishing pole!!! ha ha ha!!! i do have a pole, though!!!

progressive are American Jihadists

You're kidding, right?

no; I'm not...but unlike Muslims flying into buildings; they destroy the moral fabric that is America

...wow.

The article isn't biased; it's reported what a conservative religious bigot said. Of course, conservatives hate facts, science and reason.

Like I said, I take things from left/right-wing affiliated websites with a grain of salt.

The articles contains a factual account of a right wing religious bigot in Louisiana. There's no bias. Of course, we know conservatives hate facts, science and reason.

I suppose so. Again, just because it may be true I still remain a little sceptical due to the site's stance. Ultimately I may accept it to be true, but until then, scepticism is the way to go.

"Ultimately I may accept it to be true..."

You're not the first conservative to reject facts, science and reason.

This is the first time I've been called a conservative. I'm usually called a liberal. Huh.
