New Levels of Low

[ChildOfReason]

...Here, how about this:

"I say that people should have equal rights from birth to death"

That was me, saying that, just now. It is now a written reference in history, created by a human, just like everything in the bible. It automatically carries at least as much weight as the bible in any discussion on ethics. That's how reason works lads, the bible doesn't trump a thing.

^^^^^
That's how reason works?
Really? You just 'say stuff' and it automatically carries weight?

*makes mental note of the 2 names that gave your post kudos*

Sigh, I'm apparently not allowed to outright say: ¨you're a fucking moron¨, but I can say this: what you just said is one of the most moronic things I've ever heard. It is the entirety of the illogical, evasive and simply stupid mentality that most christians seem to argue with.
Just give up, your arguments are just insignificant and illogical. You have spent your entire time on this thread serving up your own brands of logic witho real evidence for any of your claims.
To sum up what I just said into a simple phrase, shut up.

You're taking an awful long time on that verse.

As a southerner myself this is nothing new to me. Sadly most schools outside of metropolitan areas in the south are biased and tend to cover up these cases of religious backing by an authority figure. It certainly was in my schools.

My opinion is that just like there is the zero tolerance policy for students regarding violence and drugs, there should be a zero tolerance policy for teachers against this sort of talk. It's against the law and immoral.

I've lived in TN for 17 years by the by, before Godsnitwit decides to ask me what I know of the south.

You've a long ways to go child.

Reality check son, you don't know a damn thing about me so why don't you shut the fuck up?

That would require an admission that he doesn't know everything, and that's just a bridge too far.

I told you, I want a kudos or a rep point or a medal or something in return for doing your research grunt work.

I find it necessary, when skeptics ask me for biblical citations, to clarify what difference it will make to their position if I do give them what they are asking.

I dont want to waste my your time making you read a ton of verses if, at the end, you're just gonna dummy spit and say;
they dont count... or they dont mean what you think... or who cares what the bible says... etc etc sour grapes.

I'm not rewarding you for establishing the truth of your own assertion. What do I have to gain from enticing you into preserving your own credibility?

Furthermore, how in the hell can I know what difference your evidence will make without knowing what the evidence is? If you pull out a Bible verse that says "And then the Lord said 'The Lord your God has endowed you with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'" or some close variation on that theme, I have no recourse but to concede the point that those rights are inspired by Christian scripture (though, of course, I can point out how the Bible is, to put it generously, extremely inconsistent about how inalienable those rights are). If those specific rights are not enumerated in the Bible, I have every right to dispute the allegation that those inalienable rights are inspired by Christian scripture.

Since when? Who made that rule?

Just give up...
your arguments are just insignificant and illogical...
...shut up.

See, thats called special pleading. You havent explained WHY. Asking me to do something...just because you said so, with no other reason, isnt very persuasive. Sorry.

I'm betting that bible verse isnt real and the only way to make it say that is to take some vaguely worded verse and twist it like a snake until it says what you wanted to say, context be damned.
