Society & Culture - 30 November 2007

My child's principal sent a letter home which states- "don't let kids see 'The Golden Compass'." The letter says that the writer, Pullman, is an Atheist, and the movie is "Atheism for kids".

Also, the letter says things about the movie and the author "hating Jesus", and is "darkness which appears to be innocent". It claims because Pullman is an Atheist, he's "killing God in the minds of children".

As an Atheist I'm offended that the school would assume to tell me what to watch. I'm also ticked that they are insinuating Atheists are bad people.

This seems too political for school, and God (or lack there of), isn't allowed in pulic school.

Can I sue for this?

Hell is real, only one man has ever come back from the dead. And he said there is a hell. So are you going to hell or are you living in la la land. Oh yeah, all of you who think there is no God talk to me after you die. There is no such thing as atheists in hell. And to those of you who reject all the witnesses that saw that Man come back from the dead, I want to remind you that if OJ had as many witnesses as that Man you would think OJ was innocent.

How many thousands of years we have had fruit like grapes and they haven't evolved? Wow. God told them to multiply in the beginning and they did! :) Doesn't all the different tastes of food......and various types of animals and beauty and trees speak to you there has to be a creator?

I have asked a question of whether or not god is guilty of crimes against humanity at one time or another. The responses were all of the vein that god was our creator so he can do what he wants and also that his ways are not within our right to question but... why is that? I mean if he his who we are to emulate as closely as possible should he not be the highest of moral standing? Yet time and again we see in the bible acts which the UN would attempt to charge as crimes against humanity. the destruction of the city of Ai, the murder of an entire family tree simply because a single man looted goods in a battle and so on. So... why is it that god is within his rights to perpetuate these terrible acts upon us and we are left to simply rationalize and justify it. To me, assuming he existed, god is the enemy of man. As the gist of the religion is serve me or die...

With Islamofascists calling for the death of that British lady who called a teddybear mohhamad or allah- Im reminded at how violent these people are-

Liberals keep apologizing for the muslims- but ive yet to see muslims stand up and renounce violence.....

Can anyone site proof Islam is a religion of peace?

Islam is a religion of hatred and violence.

Part of doing science is playing by the rules of science. This means that if Creationism or ID wishes to be considered science there must be some positive assertions, or predictions that can stand up to falsification. All I've ever heard from any of you are attacks on the validity of the evidence supporting evolutionary theory or simply a complete lack of understanding of the definition of the word "theory" within a scientific context. So, if you're ready to play by the rules, what are the positive assertions or predictions of ID or Creationism?
