Author | Topic: News on Religion in Our Goverments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
fearandloathing Member (Idle past 4145 days) Posts: 990 From: Burlington, NC, USA Joined: |
I didn't see a thread for news stories pertaining to religion and how it is handled by our respective governments. I thought it would be nice to have a place to put news items that may not be worthy of their own thread, as this is an on-going ever changing subject. If it seems like a good topic to discuss in length then a new topic can be started.
1st news item coming soon. Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given. Edited by fearandloathing, : teddible grammar"No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

It is hard for me to believe it took 20 years for someone to complain, I guess this slipped by the American Atheist.

Makes you wonder where the politicians come from?
Here is another example of religion and prayer being used as political ammo.
quote: Read more... I don't think prayer has a place at a public school football game, a moment of silence wouldn't bother me, but not a prayer of any type being played over the PA. I could be wrong but it seems that the republicans like to use the 'religious indignation card' as much as possible, especially at election time. "No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

I found a reference stating that all US Army members going through a divorce are required to go through that program As far as I know they still have daily prayers on some US navy ships, this was going on a year or so ago, not sure what has come of it.

I couldn't find much of anything about it, seems the complaint focused on the USS Abraham Lincoln, the USS Porter, the USNS Comfort. I would think it probably has a lot to do with who the commanding officer is. He was probably told to tone it down and keep it within navy regs. I don't think it is thing that is done on all navy ships? If was a practice on all navy ships then I would imagine the media would have jumped on it.

Why? I think Bloomberg sucks, and NYC would be better without him. Have you been to ground zero in the last 10 years? I have been twice once in 2005 and once in 2010. Both times the ground zero site has been blocked off and under construction, there really isn’t much to see. If you do want to see something then you had to go to the makeshift memorial and 9/11 museum, across the street (located at 209 broadway). It’s the trinity wall street church (St. Paul’s). I think it’s sad and rude that NYC would accept help from the church in a time of need, and then 10 years later when the time was to commemorate the event, the church is left out. F NYC. Well that’s how the left is I guess. What does this have to do with Bloomberg not allowing prayers to be made aloud by clergy? I haven't been to NY in 14 years or so, hope you enjoyed your visits, but what does this have to do with Bloombergs decision? There will be several moments of silence so anyone in attendance can say a SILENT prayer or just remember. How is this bad? Do you just want to argue?"No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

Well that’s how the left is I guess. I think you might be missing the point, in years past there has been no prayers allowed by any religious group, why start now, how do you choose which ones? Can a Muslim or Jewish prayer also be said, how about a statement from an atheist? Did NYC ask the church for help? Do you know that no Muslim organization offered help or did not help?"No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

Yeah I read it. Sorry I didn’t memorize ever single fucking line. Kick rocks, all you want to do do is argue, not discuss.

I’ll take that as you giving up. No, not at all, there just is not anything to discuss, I could be wrong. "No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

So you decided not to address the argument at all this time, even reducing yourself to taking pot-shots at my signature. To be fair to AE your signature is different than mine?? Must be a bug? I have never notice it before as your signature has been the same since I joined, at some point it was separate if I remember correct."No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

The Catholic church is all over the news, it might be an interesting topic to discuss who all should be punished in a new thread?
I personally think covering up for a guilty priest is as bad as molesting the children, worse if you simply move him to a new parish knowing there is a chance it will happen again. RAZD is right, this topic has run amuck, I'll try to keep it more focused. "No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

Hi AE,
Can we try and keep to topic. No need to get into a poo slinging contest. Thanks Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given."No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.
