Be careful what you wish for?

Question

Ask yourself this: what would happen if the 1st was ever overturned and organized prayer was brought into public school?

These would eventually happen:

A Catholic teacher tells a class that the Catholic Church is the only One True Church - everyone else goes to hell.
A Methodist teacher prays for people to learn to accept gay people and let them marry.
A Wiccan teacher leads an invocation to the Goddess.
A Baptist teacher tells the class that all Catholics are going to hell for following the False Prophet (the pope)
A Muslim teacher reads a prayer from the Quran.
An Atheist teacher teaches the class that Jesus is a myth.


Theists would go APE-****!


To any religious person who wants the 1st Amendment overturned to get prayer in schools or to create a Christian nation, all I have to say to you is this:

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

About the only safe people would be the agnostics. We’d get some popcorn and beer, sit back, and watch everyone try to kill each other.

Let's title this:

Answer 2

Last but not lease, a Mormon teacher will send out the students in pairs to knock on the doors of all other classrooms. LOL

Answer 3

Hmm, you make a valid point. One never stops and asks what ELSE may ensue in response to this, especially the Christians, who are the ones really pushing for it.

Man, being agnostic is great.

Answer 4

Hey! The popcorn and beer was my idea!

IMHO, what would happen if the 1st was overturned is that Catholicism would become the official church of the US (since it is the largest denomination in the US), and we would see a return of the Holy Roman Empire.

Answer 5

Your title is not politically correct. Currently, the proper way to express that is 'cerebral flatulence'.

If the Dominionists have their way, though, Wiccans, Catholics, Muslims would not be offering prayers in school... they will be stoned to death or burned at the stake, along with the atheists and agnostics. Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, Theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values, under cover of front organizations like the Christian Coalition, the American Family Association and the Promise Keepers. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.

Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”

They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.

Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.

All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."

By failing to openly confront this insidious agenda, we have sown the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious wing-nuts are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

Answer 6

What I find funny is that public school itself goes against the 10th amendment. The idea of public school came from the Communist Manifisto. Gives you something to think about, doesn't it?
