Bible Back In Schools

[Jeana (DP)]

Not too personal at all!

I want my child to find his own path, and I will encourge him to think for himself. If he ever asks me point blank, I will tell him what I believe. But I don't see that happening any time soon, maybe never. Just last week he expressed interest in attending church, inside I cringed. BUT, If he says something again, I will take him.

That's cool. Why a Christian school instead of just a private non-religous school?

Ella, I was hoping you could provide some links to back up these statements. According to everything I've read, neither statement is true.
Thanks in advance.



And here I'm curious. How many homosexuals, strippers and prostitutes do you know? You obviously know them well enough to know whether or not they were abused as children, and was wondering how many people you are talking about?

Not just homosexuals have anal sex by the way.

Oh, and I am a better "Christian" in the way I live my life than most of the real Christians I know! LOL

Do you ever watch Wife Swap? OMG! They had this Christian woman switch families with a family that didn't believe in God and had all sorts of astrology stuff all over the house! LOL I never saw a bigger butt head in all my life. She wanted them to accept the Lord, but she wouldnt' listen to one word they said. I wanted to slap her.

I did the same thing raising my kids. My daughter is still pretty enamored with the catholic church and my son is less so. They will find their own path. I have a good heart and won't interject religious beliefs on someone. But, if you murder someone, than I am all over you.

<I agree with you, I don't think church is for everyone ... but some families who don't go never expose their children to it and how are their children supposed to know at a young age if they ever wanted to go or not?>

huh? what does that mean?? that's something they can certainly decide for themselves when they are old enough-- no one's stopping them!!

 

[reb]

<Where did you get that I do not believe homosexuals are valued members of society? What I have said is that anal sex is unhealthy. And there is plenty of medical research to back that up.>

ellen--
and again, why do you care so much?? there's plenty of things heteros do that can be considered "unhealthy".

and no, what you said was: "homosexuality is an unhealthy lifestyle". as for that particular type of sex-- why are you so concerned with what 2 adults are dong in their bedrooms??? you're going to judge them for that?? i find that a little strange. you may as well judge half of the straight couples for it too-- because AGAIN-- it's a pretty common thing to do. (haven't you ever seen a movie?)

also, what about lesbian couples?? so, what you're saying is ONLY gay males are unhealthy?
because lesbians can't do that, well-- i mean they can, or they do-- but with, well, certain gadgets...

I have been looking into private school for my son not just because i want him to learn the bible and to be a "bible thumper" which i still have no idea what the real definition on that is, anyway, some of the things in your post is why i am looking into them..I have heard as well about the uniforms and the splitting up the classes helps them focus better....

My children went to private Christian schools. It was the best choice I ever made. It was a hard choice too. I took a lot of flack because the district didn't look kindly of public school teachers sending their children to private schools. I think it was the right choice for our family.

[font=Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif]Doctors Say Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage Will Give False Impression Gay Sex is Safe[/font]
[font=Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif]Normalization Will Lead to Major Added Burden on Health Care[/font]

OTTAWA, February 18, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The looming legalization of same-sex marriage has pushed several doctors to begin speaking out on the harmful medical consequences of homosexual sex. In addition to the group of physicians who presented their findings to Parliament in a referenced brief last week (see LifeSiteNews.com coverage http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/feb/05021709.html ), two other doctors have approached LifeSiteNews.com to submit evidence but requested anonymity based on fear of retribution from homosexual activists.

The doctors noted that they are concerned for individuals practicing dangerous homosexual sex practices but also for society in that the normalization of such sex practices through same sex ‘marriage’ legislation will result in a major added burden on health care.

“Legalization of same sex marriage by the government would give the false message that homosexual sex practices, such as anal intercourse, as long as ‘practiced safely’, are not endangering the health of the partners,” said Dr. C.

Providing rather explicit details which she felt the public must be aware of, she explained, “Anal intercourse causes abrasions of the relatively fragile rectal wall, especially in the receptive partner. The penetration of E.coli, always present in the stool, and other bacteria, viruses and parasites penetrate through such lesions into the deeper body tissues. This leads to the suppression of the immune system of such individuals even if there is no exposure to HIV. The immune suppression increases the risk to develop certain cancers, opportunistic infections, to which otherwise one would be resistant, and other health problems including the risk of premature death.”

Information on the health risks of gay sex is available from the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA). A survey by members of the GLMA released in August 2002 listed the main health problems affecting homosexual men. According to Christopher E. Harris, MD, GLMA President and Vincent M.B. Silenzio, MD, MPH, there are increased health risks for homosexual men.

The most common health problems in homosexual men are:

1. Increased incidence of infectious diseases
- HIV/AIDS*
- syphilis
- gonorrhea
- chlamydia
- pubic lice
- hepatitis A
- hepatitis B
- hepatitis C
- anal papilloma

2. Increased incidence of cancer especially
- colon/rectal
- prostate
- testicular

3. Increased incidence of eating disorders
- bulimia
- anorexia nervosa
- obesity

4. Increased incidences of other psychological problems
- anxiety
- depression
- suicide

5. Increased incidence of addiction problems especially
- tobacco
- alcohol
- street drugs
- amyl nitrates (poppers)

I like to listen. I would say around fifty homosexuals and twenty strippers/prostitutes. People tell me things that shock my husband. I guess I am easy to open up to and I care.​

Studies show that monogomous marriages add to longevity. I am opposed to heterosexuals who promote a dangerous lifestyle as safe. I don't engage in anal sex and I don't watch . I have no desire to. I have a very satisfying sex life. Married life is good.

I agree with you, I don't think church is for everyone ... but some families who don't go never expose their children to it and how are their children supposed to know at a young age if they ever wanted to go or not?
They have a preconceived notion based on what their parents thought.

And I'm addressing this to everyone, not just you, mindi
I know, I know. They are YOUR kids, so YOU know what is best for YOUR kids, right? BUT let me ask you. How many of you here wish that your parents would have done something different for you growing up or let you have been exposed to some different viewpoint other than their own --- not necessarily religion??? Be honest.

It's really hard to be in one corner of the ring or the other on this topic because I can see why some people would want to shelter their kids and blind them from something they don't want their children to hear or believe simply because they don't believe it and don't have an open mind to it.
And they don't want their kids to be brain washed either.

But on the other hand, kids are going to find out one way or another on their own, especially with the Internet.
And they will eventually, if they are inquisitive enough, choose to seek their own truths and answers.
If their parents put the fear of their backhand into them, then they may choose to never seek out anything other than what their parents choose to tell them is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and that is sad. Because we should always thirst for more, whether it is the truth or not. We should never stop trying to learn more ... whether it's what we belive or not. So we're educated enough to fight our own battles and know when we choose to engage in debate why we're arguing and why we believe whta we believe and not what the other believes.

Whew, I'm tired now. :doh:

See that is where you are wrong, and I know you aren't talking to just me and I can't speak for everyone but just because I don't go to church doesn't mean that I don't let my children. The go if they want to, but no I won't force them to. The go to a christian church sometimes with my mom and other times they go to a catholic church with there father. The have also been to baptist and luthern(sp?). I want them to learn as much about each and everyone that is there so they when they are older and can express that decision for themselves. They can choose which path they want even if it is to go to church or not i will respect that. As for my mother she did just that very same thing to me and I am so thankful that she did and have told her on many occasions that I am glad I wasn't force fed a religion in particular and was able to choose for myself.

I do believe in god.... I just don't believe in churches and what alot do. I don't believe that I am loved any less because I don't go. I can worship god just as good at home as anywhere. I can worship within if I choose so. I live a very moral and good life and if my decision to not go to church affects being able to go to heaven and people who commit murder can repent and get in then maybe I don't want to be there.

This isn't directed at you I was just stating my point on this ...
