So when Christians pass on second hand statements it's not ok, but when atheist do so it is quite alright, double standard.

I believe that's what I said, by the way belief in God is not ignorance, ignorance is believing you can change our hearts and minds.
MA Wrote:As a side note, Satanism IS a religion and the law that allows Good News Clubs to operate in grade schools allows the Temple of Satan or the Church of Set to do the same, and there's no legal recourse a school has in that situation but to shut down all of its extracurricular programs...and I think the Church of Set would still have a court case if it was done specifically to exclude them from inviting children from a meeting with baloons and cookies where they can learn lessons from the Bible (the Satanic Bible, of course).
I believe I said that I would not object to any other type of club, I'm not saying I approve of what they may teach, this is America and the law of the land.

Really, the only atheist I know are white. Are you ashamed of being an atheist? It seems to me you would be doing something in your hometown, oh right you are not wanting people to know you're an atheist, again why. Then why are you here complaining about something you can't change.

The website lists the schools it operates in. I'm pulling quotes directly from there website in some of my posts. I blank out words so no one can Google them and find my school.
What's wrong with us knowing where your school is? Good for their website, at least they are not ashamed of Who they stand for. The reason you do not want us to know where your school is, is simple you do not want people to know you're an atheist.
I want to hit my head against the desk right now. I don't tell people I'm an atheist unless asked because there isn't a pressing need to.
Hi, Marnie. What's up?
I'd like to inform you I'm an atheist!
I've told multiple people I am in fact an atheist when they've asked about my religion or what I believed. All of my close friends know I'm an atheist, but I guess more people don't know because I don't shout it to the world. Who goes around broadcasting their religious beliefs in real life anyway?
Why would I want people to know where I lived? You could look at one of the schools on the list and then know the area I lived in and the school I go to. Do you think people in real life call me Marnie?
