Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

[Angrboda]

I know how the system is setup. You are not making any argument defending the current system, you are making an argument from authority. It is wrong to force people to pay for an education system that goes against the values God has given to people, and in a country that is 80% Christian, people have every right to challenge the way that the system is setup.

And those same 80%, no doubt using their God given wisdom, have decided that it is not in their best interest to do so. God bless 'em.

Here's a counter-proposal. Since you seem to suggest that people not be forced to pay to support things that they don't agree with, let's make a fair split here. We'll take the current tax laws, and the 80% only have to pay 80% of their taxes, and the 20% only have to pay 20% of their taxes (since you wouldn't want them to be forced to subsidize the 80%). Of course, this will incur some deficit spending, so such lofty goals can likely only be achieved at a time when the Republicans hold control of both the executive and legislative branches of government.

The tax code could be set up any number of ways, as the education system. Why would you cite the present system to prove your value system...

Fuckall, I'm going to stop buying the expensive irony meters if he's just going to blow through them like this.


Some days, the makes more sense than he does.

No, I want people to be able to choose where they go to school, not have beliefs forced on them.

Captain Obvious to the rescue.

People can choose where they go to school. They cannot choose either to use public funds to support religion, nor can they opt-out of mandated educational requirements.
