Satan's Evil Twin Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 i do not believe that young impressionable minds should be polluted with fictional idea's that can have such a large impact on their live's . if you are all for teaching kids religion then you would believe that it is ok to teach satanism to your kids , after all that is a religion , hell lucifer was/is an angel , one of gods old buddies who fell out of favour . The preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the introductory sentence to the Constitution of Canada's Charter of Rights and Constitution Act, 1982. In full, it reads, “ Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law ” seeing as athiesm is on the rise in your country there are less people in canada who believe in the sumpremacy of god , and even if there is a god , he does not need a bunch of human being's telling him how superior he is , thats the thing , when you know you are omnipotent you do not need others to tell you this .

Sharpshooter Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Lucifer (PBUH) fell out of favor because he (PBUH) sees god for the tyrant that he is. My lord (PBUH) has been helping humans since convincing us to try the apple of knowledge. He (PBUH) set us on the path that recently stopped by on Mars. Everything humanity owes, it owes to Satan (PBUH). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Meanwhile.....in Kentucky..... Kentucky Evolution Fight: GOP Lawmakers Upset State Exams Test Students On 'Made Up' Theory A group of Kentucky Republicans is up in arms over a state testing program that requires high school students preparing for college to have an understanding of biological evolution. When the Republican state legislature voted in 2009 to link Kentucky's testing system to national education standards, it opened the door for biology exams that would test students' proficiency in the field of evolution. State Rep. Carl Rollins, a Democrat, told the Lexington Herald-Leader that this was standard practice, as ACT, the company that coordinates Kentucky's testing program, developed the material by surveying biology teachers across the country on which studies they believed should be included. They responded, rather unsurprisingly, that biological evolution was an important concept for incoming college students to grasp. But state Republicans are now recoiling at their decision. They claim it doesn't give the theory of creationism a fair shake and places undue emphasis on the teaching of evolution, which they maintain exists only as a "theory." "I would hope that creationism is presented as a theory in the classroom, in a science classroom, alongside evolution," state Sen. David Givens ® said in an interview with the Herald-Leader. "We're simply saying to the ACT people we don't want what is a theory to be taught as a fact in such a way it may damage students' ability to do critical thinking." Other Republicans voiced their concerns more colorfully. "The theory of evolution is a theory, and essentially the theory of evolution is not science -- Darwin made it up," state Sen. Ben Waide ® said. "My objection is they should ensure whatever scientific material is being put forth as a standard should at least stand up to scientific method. Under the most rudimentary, basic scientific examination, the theory of evolution has never stood up to scientific scrutiny." State Sen. Mike Wilson ® said he thinks the system could allow students to be "indoctrinated" by the study of evolution. Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday responded to the lawmakers' inquiry, telling them that the test is “based on evolution as a theory, not as fact.” Asked by the Republicans why teachers couldn't simply include creationism as a counterpoint to lessons on evolution, Holliday reportedly reminded them that creationism is a religious belief and doesn't have a place in a science classroom. The National Center for Science Education took note of the report, reminding that Kentucky has a history of combativeness toward the teaching of evolution: Previous legislative activity aimed at undermining the teaching of evolution in Kentucky's public schools includes House Bill 169 in 2011 and House Bill 397 in 2010, both based on the so-called Louisiana Science Education Act; both bills died in committee. Kentucky is apparently unique in having a statute (PDF; Kentucky Revised Statutes 158.177) on the books that authorizes teachers to teach "the theory of creation as presented in the Bible" and to "read such passages in the Bible as are deemed necessary for instruction on the theory of creation." Yet the Louisville Courier-Journal (January 11, 2006) reported that in a November 2005 survey of the state's 176 school districts, none was teaching or discussing "intelligent design." While the debate has been rehashed countless times, Vincent Cassone, chairman of the University of Kentucky biology department and a member of the committee that helped developed ACT's testing curriculum, told the Herald-Leader that the Republicans' rejection of evolution was incomprehensible. "The theory of evolution is the fundamental backbone of all biological research," he said. "There is more evidence for evolution than there is for the theory of gravity, than the idea that things are made up of atoms, or Einstein's theory of relativity. It is the finest scientific theory ever devised." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevlach Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's definitely an interesting subject. Another thing that would lend credence to the the idea of a god or a supernatural claim are very precise predictions that give exact times, places, and so forth, have no alternate meanings, are not self-fulfilling, and couldn't have been known by conventional means.

dajusta Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So wait a minute, I cannot be a good person, a charitable person, a compassionate person - if I don't believe in a sky God. Are you for real? You mean to tell me I can't have values and morals? I can't know for myself not to lie, steal, cheat, kill without "God" telling me so? This is total idiocy. There is a universal law that has nothing to do with God and that everyone can follow. I don't cut off someone in traffic because God taught me that's disrespectful, I don't do it because I'm just not an a-hole that way. You are aware that centuries upon centuries or wars have been fought on the basis of religion? By people believing in God? And not by some nut jobs, but "regular" God believing people? Oh brother...

Sharpshooter Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 To be fair, there are plenty of theists who accept evolution as well. Those quotes make me want to bang my head against a wall, though. Do those people consider germ theory to be "just" a theory as well? How about the theory of gravity? Ugh...
