Prayer in Schools

Why is it that the schools allow Budduhism and Hindu and yet they won't allow a religion that is smaller than those two? The schools claim they have freedom of religion and yet they won't allow christianity! That is the biggest proof of hypocrisy in the judicial and school system that I have ever seen!

Hi Creationwise, welcome to evcforum.I had a look at your proposed topic and I am afraid that is is really nowhere near a standard that would allow it to be discussed.There are several reasons for this.Firstly: Can you explain this a little more. It appears to me that you are upset that 'the schools' allow Buddhism and Hinduism but do not allow some smaller religions, what do you mean by 'allow'?Secondly: What do you mean by 'won't allow Christianity', are you saying that schools do not teach it or you are not allowed to be a Chirstian at certain schools?Thirdly, what is the topic that you wish to discuss, is it the banning of Christian prayers in schools?Let's work together and get a presentable topic, I'll help all I can.AdminBrian.

how about this:
I just want to see if anyone disagrees with me abou my belief. I believe christians should be able to pray in schools. I don't think its fair for us to be banned but not the hindus or mormons.
Why is it that the school system lets hindus and mormons openly pray and share their doctrine and yet they won't let christians pray or even share God with the kids? I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE BACK THE SCHOOL SYSTEM BECAUSE GOD WAS THE FOUNDATION OF THIS COUNTRY AND HE SHOULD STAY THERE!

Actually, I think you've made a step backwards. You're combining a whole bunch of assertions with no supporting examples to even indicate the conditions you describe exist.Your revision has several topics. Fine. Is there anything you can point to to support that they are not allowed to pray in school? Fine but this is a seperate topic. In addition, before it could be promoted you should atleast try to provide evidence that Christians are banned but Hindus or Mormons (who happen to be Christians) are not. This is a third thread possibility but again, you need to provide at least some evidence to support such an assertion.Look these over and decide which you'd like to pursue. Then write a couple short paragraphs outlining your position and providing some evidence in support of your assertions.Let's see if we can get something that can be promoted.This message has been edited by AdminJar, 09-22-2005 11:09 PM

Trust me, they will. The point that we are saying is that our topic standards have to be in the context of rationality and not just mere emotion. We certainly do not want a written shouting match to clog up our threads. Read through some of our posts here and get a handle on the way that we speak. Politeness is a good trait!
For example, what do you mean that we should take back the school system? Do not we already run it?This message has been edited by AdminPhat, 09-30-2005 07:20 AM

no we dont own the system. The Judicial system owns it. They just claim we do. They lie.

Schools are all about ideas. They encourage students to study a wide variety of disciplines. Christian theology is allowed in schools in the context of History, tradition, and definition.Would you care to start a topic on who runs the school system? If so, resubmit a better topic and we will work on it! Thanks.This message has been edited by AdminPhat, 10-23-2005 06:40 AM
