No, I am not kidding
I did say this but not what you said in your previous post.
I pointed out you said the above. You said you never said it.No, I am not kidding
I did say this but not what you said in your previous post.
In my opinion you should be more careful when referencing what is said.
I think I have advised you in the past of this but I will try again.
I think you would benefit greatly if you utilized the quote feature when quoting someone.
Peace
No I didn’t.
This is what I said that I never said.
We had a discussion about removing objectionable material from school libraries that depicted graphic sex acts. You said you weren't going to participate in book burning ideology. You said while we might find graphic portrayals of sex acts found in books objectionable other parents may not. And you said who is going to determine what is objectionable? This is moral ambivalence. Jesus drove the money changers and merchants from the temple. No ambiguity. You can't be pleasing to God being a milquetoast about sin. Any sex outside of a union between husband and wife in marriage is wrong. The realities of the world is people are going to engage in sex. It's a free country. That's between them and God. But we should protect the innocence of children as much as possible in an internet world. And should never concede an inch to those who would sexualize children. They'll have enough to struggle with once they reach puberty.No, I am not kidding

Yes.
I believe my word was support not participate but close enough. Yes.
Yes
I think I added You? after the word objectionable in my previous post .
I disagree. We live in a free society with self governing process that must be followed. Generally speaking the school board has the final say. State your objections as strong or as weak as you like and then accept the decision of the board.
In my opinion this not relevant to a secular governing decision in a self-governing free society.
I believe God so loves the world.
I believe parents should make whatever sacrifices they need to fulfill their responsibilities to the ultimate earthly protectors of their children.
And you said you didn't think protesting at the school board was the best way to go about things. This after I pointed out the DOJ was requested to designate parents who objected to teaching CRT and sexual materials in school libraries as domestic terrorists. You were essentially saying the parents shouldn't have been there protesting.
That is not what I would do.
You never gave the specifics to this.
Never said that. I said something along the lines of , in my opinion I wouldn’t think it would be the most effective plan to facilitate change.
You need to follow the news better. And yes, people are given the right to address their local school boards at school board meetings. Many on school boards got angry because what they were doing became public knowledge with these parents bringing it up at their meetings. The public outcry was such that the National School Board Association requested the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, designate these parents as domestic terrorists to squelch further dissent. When that DOJ memo was leaked Garland faced a lot of questioning from Congress. Became a political albatross for him. This is what happens when people use their Constitutional rights to address their concerns. We aren't in China, but if some have their way where the government would go after you like this current administration has done where the FBI has shown up at residences armed to the teeth over literally nothing, then we're definitely on the road to losing our freedom. And moral ambivalence is a surefire way to get us there.
You seem pretty certain.
ONE OF BILLIONS
Indeeeeeed....
Prove me wrong.
What you and your Right Wing friends want is a Christian country governed by Christian standards of morality. In essence, a Christian theocracy where non-Christian values are not tolerated. Hey, guess what? Maybe, I DO want textbooks to be historically accurate, the accomplishments of LGBTQ and other minorities acknowledged, and maybe MY God has 4 heads, flies around in a UFO, and has a husband. That's what "Freedom of Religion" means, but not to you. In AR-15 Jesus World, there is only 1 "god" and everybody has to abide by YOUR rules and YOUR standards. Maybe, I'm OK with my kid being exposed to "dangerous" books and learning about sex before they do something stupid. Maybe a book about gay penguins is just fine because evil science has proven that homosexuality is actually common in the animal world (we are animals too BTW). Maybe some of us want SCIENCE to be taught without the taint of creationism hanging over reality, but, no, we all have to think and behave according to your puritanical standards. And you're too ignorant to see your own glaring hypocrisy.
Do you feel better now? I may not agree with some things that go on in the world, but as adults in this country you do have the right to participate in those things as long as you aren't hurting others doing so. But I don't think the world will be a better place exposing children to adult ideas, especially prepubescent children. And being exposed to those ideas is exactly what's going on because folks like you believe you'll get the world you want if you start early enough with the kids. The only thing you'll get is a much coarser world where young men see young women as the sum of their body parts. Where worshipping sex is prized above all else. Not science, not literature, not a better society, but just satisfying lusts and taking through brute strength. That's the path you're on, where decadence is worshipped as your god, not achieving a better world through selfless love. Adolf Hitler was a prime example of the world Christians are trying to avoid, and through your seething hatred is a world that's likely to come about. And sadly if and when it happens people like you will put it on Christians because you never take responsibility for the hate you spread. The decadence you pine for.
@MrFedEx
That’s very nice of you and certainly you’re right.
I understand and thank you.
