Dear God: Get the hell out of our schools!

Ah, but its Queensland! Not our fault!

The rest of Australia takes no responsibility for the goings on in Queensland, we've pretty much washed our hands of them.

RE: Dear God: Get the hell out of our schools!
ID is horrible.. But the thing is, to a person, who has never been taught to think critically, those ID books look legit. To teach that man and dinosaurs actually were on this planet at the same time, that Earth is only a few thousand years old. Idiots.. I'd just as well like to see it taught in schools that Terry Pratchett's Discworld is the truth. A flat world riding on four elephants and a turtle or that man-made deity created Earth in six days. Both seem utterly implausible, and both are based on what we find in books, written by men who came up with these stories.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I'm not allowed in your school.

Yeah, this shit annoys the hell out of me, too. I see it on the internet, all over Facebook, everywhere. "God isn't allowed in our schools!" Who the hell says? A kid can pray all F'ing day for all I care as long as he's not being disruptive. What they're pissed off about is no longer being able to force all the non-Christian kids to pray. If a Christian kid is going to pray in school, he's going to pray in school. Why does he need the teacher to lead him in a prayer? No, it's all about getting all the evil heathen kids with atheist parents to pray against their will, and to be ostracized when they don't stand up and go along with it. No, forced prayer in school isn't going to make all the drugs, teenage pregnancy, violence and bullying go away. It was still there in the 1950's and will still be there whether or not you try to force kids to pray.

But people are stupid. And Christians love that people are stupid, because they can keep the "it's illegal to pray in schools" lie going. Unfortunately, people parrot this idea every day and don't understand that it's school-sponsored prayer that's illegal.

The other thing that pisses me off is that they always think that school prayer should consist of Christian prayers. They see nothing wrong with this, but they must be too stupid to see that it opens the door for a Muslim teacher to have his class bow to Mecca and worship Allah. Of course they'd never allow that. I think a funny scenario would be to ask Christians, "Do you want prayer in school?" When they answer in the affirmative, then say, "OK, we'll have teachers read from the Satanic bible."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

To teach fiction as science is ridiculous.

ID should be taught in RE not a science class as there is nothing scientific about it.

I am happy to let a child learn about their religion and practice it as long as they do not disrupt learning of anyone else.

The really great thing about this is that they are effectively saying "reality is antithetical to religion, so we must remove it from the schools or our kids might not agree with our delusions in the future."
