Raise your hand if you think it is a good thing to take God out of the schools!!?

Question

I mean we live in such a scary unforgiving world. Where child molesters and murderers run rampant. All those evil acts fueled by satan. And God is the only one who can possibly save our children. I don't know about u but I think that is a great reason to take God out of the schools. Why teach our children about there only assurance and real safety?

C'mon keep that hand up

Hands?


Hello?


Anyone?

Answer 1

Yep, I think it's a good idea to keep church and state separate.

If you want God in your classroom, go to a parochial school. Religion has absolutely no place in public schools.

Answer 2

Look how well the strategy is working. We've spent the last thirty plus years letting the ACLU tell us what is good for our children.

If you think our schools are improving because we're spending this much time trying to kick God out of every aspect of our community life, then you're just plain ignorant.

Our schools are headed down the toilet. I can mark the time when it started happening by the red letter day when we demanded God not be let in the school.

I guess if you can't add things up you wouldn't see that. Maybe your school failed you. Maybe your school failed because it became chaotic as a result of having no moral compass anymore.

You get it?????

Answer 3

God is NOT the only one who can save our children - try studying Humanism. It has plenty to say on the subject, without being some cult believing in some sort of supernatural boogey man.

But on a practical note - if a school has 1000 children, 950 of them receive indoctrination for a particular religion & the other 50 are assorted other religions - who do you think the 950 will pick on & verbally & physically abuse. That's what children do.

If parents want their children to learn about their faith let the parents teach them - don't waste my tax-dollars on it. Aren't there enough other things that should be taught in schools, that we don't have time & monyey for ?

Can't parents teach their children good moral values ?

Answer 4

I would not want this forced on anyone, but I totally support a person feeling they have the right to pray in schools or to have an elective religious Bible Study.

Our school a few years back allowed the teens the right to use a classroom for a bible study group for a few minutes before school. WIthin two weeks they had 75 kids join!! You tell me, do kids want this option or not??!!

All you have to do is go to a "See you at the Pole" whne the kids gather one time a year for prayer at the local high school and you will see a lot of kids want this option in school.

Answer 5

They already have in public schools. The schools that are run and funded by our government can't have God in the schools because of the seperation of church and state. I am not defending this. Just saying why. They can't take God out of Christian schools because they are private

In high school, I used to carry my bible around with me and read it in my free time. The teachers and hall moniters let me because they had bigger things to worry about. I used to study it with a friend during lunch. And in elementary, they used to have a few bibles in the library. In the Southfield area of Michigan, where my friend went to school, they even had a biblical history class and this was also a public school.

Just some food for thought.

Answer 6

How did you manage to write such a confusing statement? If God is the only One who can save the children, why take Him out of schools? Just curious. Go well, and God Bless!

Answer 7

About a hundred years ago, when I was in school, every day began with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. But, when I went to school, where I went to school, there were none but christian kids attending. People of different faiths populated different neighborhoods, so the kids, mostly, went to different schools and, if they had prayers in each one, those prayers conformed to a specific belief. Now days, with the myriad of cultures and faiths represented, it would be impossible to offer prayer every day without offending and alienating somebody. I whole heartedly agree that a daily prayer in schools would be positive, but there seems to be no way to reinstate it without creating squabbles that would probably be more disruptive than a prayer would be worth. What's more, it's really the parents responsibility to see that their children get whatever religious instruction they see fit, not the schools.

Answer 8

Worshiping God is a choice. It should not be taught and it should not be banned. I like the moment of silence.

Since when does God save children? He doesn't. We are all responsible for alerting our children to the evils in the world.

Answer 9

Your detail makes no sense. You say that God should be taken out of schools but you say that he is the only one that can help our kids?

My hand is down. But don't worry.

THIS IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY!! Think about this. Because we are taking granted of the bill of rights and the U.S. Constitution, both documents may be stripped of us citizens. No more free speech, no more freedom to relgion, no more right to bear arms none of that.

So chill out. You'll get your way soon. But you'll lose privileges too.

Answer 10

You know, I'm a Christian and I hear about the government trying to take God out of the schools, and the ACLU's attacks on Christianity all the time.
And yes it is obvious that the secular world does not want any mention of God in any public forum (and arguably anywhere else for that matter)

But here's the thing. If man can "take" God out of the public forum, then what kind of God is He really? If man can eliminate God, then He must not actually be God.
The world goes as the church goes. If Christians were really concerned about their world then they would first correct the problems in the church (and in themselves).
2nd Chronicles has the answer.
It says, "If MY people, who are called by my name, will humble THEMSELVES and pray, and turn from THEIR WICKED WAYS, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land."

God said that it was His people who needed to humble themselves, it was His people who needed to turn from THEIR wicked ways, and it was His people who needed to pray. He didn't say it was the secularists, agnostics, atheists.... He said it was His people who needed to straighten up, and then He would fix the godlessness we see in our world.

I'm not saying that Christians should not resist these efforts to supress the gosple, and mention of God and Christ. What I'm saying is that Christians are trying to fight against the secularists in their own strength, and in the ways of the world. Again Scripture teaches that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spritual wickedness in high places. You can't beat that in a court room, you beat that by repentance and prayer.

Answer 11

If you were to put God into the schools which God? Who's God? And what about the need to separate church and state and the protections inherent in that? This country began with many immigrants desires to have religious freedom and yet this debate is a move to institutionalize one version of religious thought over many others. If I want my child to have a specific religious education I will send him or her to a parochial school of my choosing...
