i keep hearing from these pro prayer in school people ....?

Question

about no prayer and us going away from christianity is the cause of violence and the U.S. going to hell in a handbasket but were is the statistical proof??? i could have sworn we were more violent because kids don't understand limits and consiquences because there parents are to lazy to actualy parent there kids..

i'm liking the aswers so far, especialy the ones that site history as putting "god" in our lives that was'nt there before.
also blaming tv. only gets you so far, they have to be psycologicaly susceptibal to violence to act out. i played violent video games and am fine now because i knew they were just games.

thank you elway-the-cat good answer..

Answer 1

Applause. It's called an illusionary correlation.

I'd like one of them to explain to me how allowing a child to say a prayer to themselves instead of having a teacher lead a class in prayer is morally wrong somehow. If that child's parents have done their job, then their child will be secure in whatever teachings have come across at home. That includes discipline and basic morals as well. They are so thick-headed that they refuse to acknowledge that there are other children in those classes who are not Chrisitian. The religious majority in this country does not rule the roost when it comes to public schools and it's about time they understood that IMO. What do you call the blatant disregard and disrespect they would show other children who are not Christian by having teachers lead a class in a Christian prayer in public school? I call that immoral and unAmerican. But apparently those children are not their concern. We teach that this is the land of freedom, and that freedom includes the right to worship as one pleases, until it comes to public schools? Please.

Answer 2

There is no proof. Historically the US had a totally separation of Church and state. God was not put on the money till the 1950's as well as the word God being in the pledge of allegiance. I do not blame them from thinking the way they do, it took a long time for the religious types to sneak religion into our government and when it was there, they spun it to make us think it was always there and it was not. They simply did not pay attention in history class, probably because they were too busy praying instead of learning.

Answer 3

Unless I'm mistaken, countries that are more secular than the United States (e.g. Canada and Denmark) tend to have lower rates of school violence than the United States does.

And contrary to what these raging pro-prayer-in-school people try to tell you, no one is saying that kids cannot pray in school. They are only saying that prayer cannot be forced on anyone. If kids want to pray, be it saying a blessing over their lunch or forming a Bible Club (we had one of those back in my high school--back in the late 1990s, and I was a member), that's fine. It just has to be student-initiated and it cannot be mandatory for other students.

Tell me that I'm "keeping one foot in church and one foot in the world" if you want to, but regardless of what you believe, other people have the right to believe otherwise. There is no way we can be sure what the "right" answer is.

And I can't help but notice that a lot of these school shootings tend to take place in Bible Belt states, too.

Answer 4

Oh yeah, the Bible is a great book for getting morals!

It condones slavery, social injustace, killing people of other faiths who might try to coerce you, stoning children to death, and selling your children into slavery.

Sure, let's teach that in schools. See how long it takes the system to self-destruct.

Seriously, children need less access to weapons at home. Where did these kids who kill people get the guns? From their homes. We need better parenting, not god.

Answer 5

statistically violence has gone down sinse the late eighties, when the whole crack craze hit. i think a lot of young ppl are just now statin 2 open their eyes 2 the world and that just causes the preception of more violence, there were school shootings back in the late eighties but they just werent nationaly televised

besides if buddhism just happened to be the popular religion in america and you were cristian, would you want the school to teach your children buddhism

Answer 6

definitely, the in god we believe in fact isn't pertaining to the Hebrew God. they are pertaining to their "large Architect of the Universe" that's Lucifer. That seeing eye represents Lucifer. The greenback has a great sort of pagan symbols of them. The founding fathers claimed they have been "christians" whether it became a facade. They have been in effortless terms pretending to be one so as that they could administration the folk from the hot colonies that have been extremely Christians. genuine, in the U.S. Christians are the least persecuted in comparison to a diverse usa. yet, in a feeling they are being attacked consistent with what the media says. The media is enormously lots anti-Christian. you ought to remember that being a Christian became extra important in the previous (50's, 40's, etc.) than now. In my own opinion, somebody could declare to have christian history whether it does not propose they are extremely christians. i comprehend that the bush kin at the instant are not christians. they are very stable in deceiving people in basic terms like their founding fathers. they are Luciferians and between the main powerful 13 satanic households alongside with the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Disney, Astor, Kennedy, etc. i comprehend this could sound absurd. yet, in case you're taking the pink pill and do your examine, then you definately will see the certainty everywhere and the lies being thrown on your face. think of...that's not unlawful yet...

Answer 7

We're the most violent nation on earth because we have the most violent TV shows and movies on earth. Kids learn early on that it's "cool" to act out in school, or carry a gun, or beat up someone else, etc. Thank Hollywood and the parents that let their kids watch whatever they want on the 200-channel digital cable line-up.

Answer 8

You're right. Our world is completely different than it was 200 YEARS AGO, but that doesn't mean that lack of school prayer is the significant factor as to why society is so messed up today.

Answer 9

And what about the fact that we have healthier lives than ever in history? Is that also b/c god is out of school?

Answer 10

Yea, everybody wants a band-aid solution to their lack of parenting skills. It's like, "You wanted the kid, you had the kid, it's your responsibility. You take the damned kid to church....don't try to make the church come to the school...where education is what's going on."
