Maybe the General Star Wars section should be demoted to the rank of Private Star Wars section?

Wow, pretty harsh Greencapt. Major, maybe, or even Lieutenant, but not Private!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Perhaps I was a little over zealous... Though with all the seemingly well-spoken trolls who are lurking about over there...

Ok JediSage I owe you an apology. The was an actual reported case of a teacher throwing Bibles into the trash. Althought the lawsuit has been dropped and the school district denies that any Bibles were thrown into the trash. So its just a question of who you believe. Again I'm sorry I jumped the gun. Its just I had never heard of the incident and found it difficult that it could have happened without me knowing since I watch the news and read the paper daily. I apologize. However it would seem to be an isolated incident.

I find it odd that we need to oppress freedom in order to attain it, however, I'll bite:



I never said that. All I meant was that how can someone have true freedom of religion, without having to right to chose no religion at all? without being able to chose not to belief
in God?

So, in other words, anyone who assumes public office or works in government automatically abbrogates their right to the free exercise of religion? Must they now take a vow of official atheism prior to taking the position?


No, what it means is that they can't use/abbuse their position to support their religion

example: A school teacher can't use their position to preacher their religious views to thier students. However, that same school teacher has every right to practice his/her faith, As long as doing so doesn't violate someone else's rights.

Keep in mind that appeasing all faiths via a position of no faith is just as much of a philosophy as any religion. By definition it's excluding the people who believe and practice their faiths.


Now, just how is the Government excluding you by appeasing you? Maybe its a philosophy as any religion as you say, but if it is, does that mean we should drop it and just pick a religion to support and what one should that be and why? Whichever one we pick is going to offend someone. All I am saying is the Government shouldn't be in the position of deciding what religion is right and what religions aren't. It should treat all religions equally and that includes Atheists.

and i just like to add that athiests dont try to convert people of religion to not believe in god, however it is the opposite with religions. so by chooseing a stance that infringes on peoples rights the least would indeed been the best choice.

I don't want to really offend anyone here, but of all the people I know, the atheists are the ones that are most tolerant of other people's beliefs regarding their organized religion association.

All of the "religous" people I know are always the ones telling other people that their way of thinking is wrong and they will "go to hell" or what have you unless they repent and follow the way they see fit according to whatever text they follow.

Speaking of things we hate and Religion, I hate this recent episode of South Park (or at least one I only saw recently) which portrayed Missionaries as oblivious fools so devoted to winning souls that they ignore physical needs and let Ethiopians starve so badly that they'd rather live on another planet...

Just when I was starting to think there was some valid social comentary in the show, they go and pull a friggin [insert medaphor for making fun of missionaries here]...

Meh.

I used to, then my brother showed me like 2 or 3 good episodes. Now I'm thinking those are the VAST VAST minority.

I guess we are the "uncool" people that just don't "get" southpark.

Yeah. I just don't see anything funny about little kids cussing--so if that's the whole joke the show's based on...

Now, Santa Claus shooting Satan-worshiping animals trying to give birth to the anti-Christ with a shotgun is a work of genius, but that's just one episode.

However, there was this Episode of Fairly Odd Parents I saw today... THAT, was great. It's too bad South Park has to be all TV MA and all; they could learn some things by toning it down... like how to tell an actual joke.

I've liked half of the south park episodes I've seen, the other half was just plain dumb and unfunny.

I find it hard believe that any South Park episodes could be good. Its too immature for my tastes.

It is, but you gotta watch it BEYOND it's immatureness. Half of the jokes fall flat but the other half is OK. I also like the characters. The movie is also very good, although the whole Saddam joke gets old in 2 minutes.
