This mentality is what is the issue. In the right context, there's nothing wrong with Jesus in a school. Schools can teach comparative religions and the role of major historical religious figures in a history context. Just there to be there, you're going to have an issue. It's not a matter of "not enough people having Christ in their lives".

Dude, you just need more Christ in your life. Have you considered potato chips, waffles, your garage door? These are all place he wants to be, if you will just let him in. There's also your shower soap, your coffee cup, the small of your wife's back. The potted plant on the patio, the coffee pot, the top of the microwave (inside or out, but probably inside). Just open your heart to Christ. And while you are at it, hang a picture of him in your local school, the lobby of your favorite building, the train platform, and your neighbors picture window.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.

So do you agree? Should a public institution be allowed to flex their religious beliefs considering that it's a huge majority, or should the rights of all people prevail?
Public schools should not promote any one religion, no matter the majority or not, since public means all people, not just those of a particular religion. To do otherwise shows favoritism.

Or their track record of abuse to their women? Or their raping of children who just got their period by an older man.
Btw all that above happened in the USA and the UK.
I guess you don't understand what generalizing is, huh?
Coming from a person that's stupid enough to say "blacks are homophobic", I'm going to go with a pretty clear cut "I have no idea what that word means".

Blacks overall are very homophobic. Much more so than whites. Not sure why you get wound up over this ....
Maybe try being less sensitive and taking a minute to look at the statement for what it's worth factually.

Hahahahahahahahahaha
Listen, goofy. If you said something like "studies show that black people are more homophobic than white people", that would be fine, especially if you had the data to support that claim.
However, going from thread to thread making generalized statements like "blacks are homophobic"....well, it makes you sound like a very, very unintelligent human being. The same thing is happening here in this thread but with a religious group.
Fred made a joke, and then you responded with a claim that it's a "fact" that people that worship a certain prophet abuse animals, children, and women. How many of the 1.5+ billion that practice that religion do you think that applies to? Do you also think it would be okay to run around making broad claims like "Christians are murderers", or "Christians are rapists", just because some amount of you people do such things?
No, that's generalizing. People who aren't complete morons understand that generalizing is a bad way to provide a proper argument.

That was not the comparison...Thanks for playing try again.
On a different note, completely separate from your misconception of my original post, as well as the correct understanding of my post, and therefore should not be used by you to evaluate either my original post or your miscarriage of a post. I just wanted to say the following.
BTW...The Anglo version of what Jesus looks like has raped the minds of the Western Christian for centuries.

If you would like to post anything supporting your anti christian views then that's fine.
He made a snarky remark. And I responded with a snarky remark. Can't help if what i said was factual lol. That ground is just too fertile.
