Well the obvious refutation is that violence has gone down since then not up. I don't think that not forcing children to pray has had an effect on violence but you'd think that before making up something like this you could at least see if your claim is actually true.

Keeping God in school does absolutely nothing.

Next question.

Clearly you've never seen jesus's 'abs'

Androgynous my ass. Shaving him won't do any good, Jesus is clearly very manly.

Yes, pretend ignorance usually doesn't pass muster when self-interest calls for action based on knowledge.
Only genuine and thorough going ignorance can truly make truly reliable buffoons out of all.

Yes, it does, it gives superstition, deception and ignorance a ray of hope.

(June 20, 2013 at 10:09 am)Creed of Heresy Wrote: And yet we do it all the time, Drich. What a typically condescending to say. But then, you're Christian; that's expected from the fully grown adults who still believe in a santa claus in the clouds, is for them to be like a 10 year old telling a grown adult how the world works; completely full of shit and up their own ass with nothing to show for it.

How is this condesending?

Will, atheist support prayer in school? will they support biblical studies? will the help seek and saved the lost? Will they make any desision to help promote Christianity?

In a word, no.

Now given the same setting in Christians come in with God in their hearts all of these things will be accomplished despite how a given public building is offically run.

How does this affect violence? compair violent crime comitted in public school verse Christian schools.

Yeah, and with that "turn the other cheek" and "crucifixion" thing he would look like some sort she-male sadomeschist with snuff fantasies.
