Well,
there's a percentage pulled from your ass in its entirety. You have a poor opinion of most parents usually found only in the childless.

An Easter egg hunt sponsored by the church to which the people who have been prosyletizing his child behind his back belong. They are clearly not to be trusted around other people's children.

And likely some other stuff, too. There's the 'empty egg game', where, when the kids find their eggs are empty, you read them Matthew 28:6. Or instead of putting candy in the eggs, put little props that tell the story of the resurrection. Or put cut pieces of the Easter story into eggs and have the kdis piece it together.

Never been to a Pentecostal Easter egg hunt, eh? They are to Easter egg hunts what 'Turn Before You Burn' haunted houses are to Halloween fun houses.

Who do you think you are to dictate to Brakeman what he does and does not allow his daughter to attend? You know the people involved already have a history of preying on the vulnerability of young children to religious conversion. A guy like you calling anyone else a 'douche' would be laughable if it wasn't equally sad.

Do you suppose the reason our attention to spelling is so frustrating to you is that you're an extraoridinarily bad speller who, for some reason, really hates to learn how to spell a word correctly? I suspect that may have something to do with your bad spelling. There's nothing wrong with misspelling a word, but being unwilling to learn how to spell it correctly is childish.

Maybe you should try it once in a while. You might learn we take it a lot better, as a rule, provided you don't accompany it with one of your stupid smileys. You're not being chastized for your spelling, you're being chastized for not being able to take it with grace. But where would you be able to get ahold of any grace?

No one has complained about 'being laughed at'. What's irritating is your use of them when you're not saying anything funny as a reply to something that wasn't funny. It doesn't come off as laughter, it comes off as crowing. It's like you don't know when using them is appropriate. Which I can readily believe. Or you're actually crowing, which is even easier to believe.

That quote is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read.
How do you think Christian parents feel when the things we teach and try to assign value to ethecially is crapped on by soceity, the goverment and by the culture?
Apparently much like white racists felt when they were forced to allow equal accommodations for African Americans, like sharing water fountains and equal seating on buses. Nothing has happened to Christianity in this country that amounts to more than losing special privileges not enjoyed by other religions which Christians should never have had in the first place. That could fly though, when the country was 90% Christian, there weren't enough people to successfully resist being flattened under the Christian steamroller. Now that it's more like 60%, it's getting harder and harder for Christians to keep government institutions under a sectarian thumb. People who are used to their special privileges typically feel threatened and persecuted when they're taken away. However, it is not real persecution to have to follow the same rules that apply to everyone else.

It's not your beliefs that are being assaulted, it's your special privileges. Why should teachers be allowed to lead other people's children in prayers of religions to which they don't belong? This was a problem for decades with Jews and Catholics before any atheists got involved. Protestant domination of school prayers is the main reason we have so many Catholic schools: it was either pray Prostestant or build their own schools. Now the Catholics are beginning to outnumber Protestants in the USA, it would be poetic justice for Protestant kids to have to follow Catholic prayers, but fortunately the law against government employees leading a captive audience of other people's children in prayer prevents that from happening.

You haven't established that that is what is happening. What you seem to be saying is that Christians aren't capable of raising their children with their values at home and at church unless government schools reinforce those teachings officially. Isn't that really your problem and not the government's?

If you want to isolate your children from cultural shifts, that's what homeschooling and private schools ar for. Of course, it is not unusual for those kids to depart from the beliefs you tried teaching them anyway when they grow up and find out they've been lied to.

If you're losing your kids, maybe you're the ones who are doing something wrong. No minds lost, a parent is allowed to say no or provide an alternate activity for their small children rather than sending them to an event they have misgivings about. In fact, it's their responsibility to so do. Chrisitans have the exact same priviledge to decide what events
their small children attend. That's why there are anti-Halloween events at fundamentalist churches on Halloween night. Brakeman isn't exercising any discretion to which you are not entitled, yourself.

Actually, Brakeman mentioned an Easter egg hunt in a later post. Apparently the same people who slipped his daughter the Bible want her to come to their church for an Easter egg hunt.

If you do know I can go well beyond the typical atheist propaganda, and if you want to play this game you will need to do some research.
If you want to start, lets start here:
-video-
There is a 1 min tourist testimonial in the middle but their is alot more verfiable facts on the other side.
So most of the founding fathers were christian *gasp* that's something I never knew 
What you don't seem to realize is that while they were christian, they still had the decency to allow other people their own religious freedoms. Sure they made a bible for the schools and did a bunch of other religious stuff you would expect, nobody's perfect. But they realized others as having their own opinions and beliefs and sought to give them that freedom. Hence the first amendment in hopes it would do that, and we're only now starting to bring it to full fruition.
They actually did not make a Bible for the schools. They gave their stamp of approval for it being an accurate translation, but they did not authorize any expenditure to print or distribute them.
Barton is not actually an historian, and has been caught in many other lies as well. Even the more reputable Christian scholars scorn his propaganda.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
