Stupid things religious people say

Dear Christians: Please stop calling people gay

Don’t you realize that by doing so, you are parroting the lie that our desires define us and that people can be pigeonholed into categories of appetites, proclivities, drives and desires?

Don’t you see that your labels consign your neighbors to little more than the status of animals who are driven insatiably by their inclinations and instincts?

Could anything be more insulting to those around you? Believers in Christ, of all people, should know that people are made in the image of God. We are not dogs. We are human beings. We have free will in choosing our behaviors (sexual or otherwise), and thus, we are defined by our Lord, not our libido. How could any professing Christian ever suggest otherwise?

Don’t you see that today’s LGBTQ nomenclature explicitly embraces a broken ontology and anthropology and dumbs down the definition of what it means to be human? Are we the imago Dei, or are we little more than the imago dog? Isn’t our identity more than our inclinations? Are we “behavioral adjectives,” or are we human beings?

So some Christians are paying $5,400 per year for a specialized school that will turn their children into cretins with worthless diplomas.

New Christian school in central Newfoundland teaching alternate curriculum based on Bible

His new school is based at the local Pentecostal church, but it doesn't follow the same curriculum as the province's public schools.

It uses an education program called Abeka, which comes from the United States and teaches based on a literal interpretation of the Bible.

That means the school's students are taught the earth is 6,000 years old, it was created by God in six days and humans lived at the same time as dinosaurs.

"The Abeka science and health program presents the universe as the direct, orderly, law-abiding creation of God and refutes the man-made idea of evolution," states the program's website. "Students are presented with plants, animals, rocks, elements, forces, the human body — and much more — according to an understanding of the design and laws of nature."

The health program takes its teachings on homosexuality and adultery literally from the Bible as well.

"Dr. Hugh Pyle discusses adultery, fornication, and homosexuality as they are presented in the Bible and explains their results," says a summary of Abeka's sexual education textbook Sex, Love, and Romance: Sex education from the Bible. "The book also details God's plan concerning purity and marriage and the consequences of disobeying his moral commands in these areas."

"Even the math. If you look at the math book, it ties in biblical concepts. It teaches the children all the concepts they need to know, but it ties in that Christian part of it. The biblical aspect of it," said Hodder.

Tuition is $5,400 per year, and the organizers are hoping to expand the school to include students up to high school.

But it's not clear what that would mean for the students at Crossroads.

The provincial government says all schools must meet the same educational standards in order for students to graduate. If they don't, they won't receive an official diploma. The Education Department specifies that students who complete Grades 10 to 12 under the Abeka system won't qualify.

For Mullett — who was raised in Ontario's Christian schools — both the curriculum and the cost of sending four kids to the school makes sense.

"I don't think that science and faith conflict each other at all," she said.

It's a private school and it's allowed to teach what they're paying for. Doesn't sound like they'll be able to award diplomas though. Nice to see it flailing.

It will be interesting to see the victims (sorry students) try to get jobs in the real world after this "education"

The math based on the Bible:

According to the Bible, a male slave costs fifty shekels of silver, and a female slave costs thirty shekels of silver. How many slaves can Bob buy with two hundred twenty shekels?

The compensation for an ox goring a male or female slave to death is thirty shekels of silver. Bart had five of his slaves gorged to death. How much shekels should he get?

A woman is filthy for seven days after her period. Annie had her period three days ago. How many more days will Annie be filthy?

In a Discord chat:

"If you find something God does in the bible and it seems repugnant, then you should interpret it differently and it is the old law."

Yes, just assume the conclusion first!

Pastor John Amanchukwu warns parents not to allow their children to participate in drama or theater: "These are oftentimes incubation systems for perversion."

TV screens are portals from which demons can enter your house.

‘Full House’ Star Candace Cameron Bure: ‘I Don’t Even Want Someone Watching a Scary Movie in Our House’ Because ‘That’s a Portal’ to Something ‘Demonic’

Do not put a scary movie on the TV at Candace Cameron Bure‘s house or, as Bure calls it, “the portal.”

“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” Bure said. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”

Bure maintains there is something inherently esoteric about the filming process.

“Listen, I’m in the film industry,” Bure added. “I understand how it all works. I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they’re lighting it, and they’re adding the sound effects, and it’s makeup, and the camera, people, and actors. However, there’s still something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it.”
