MODERATORS
I found it. Dude ran for sheriff in 2015 and it came up then too.
They'll say there are no wrong answers. They'll say they discussed everybody's answers/opinions. They'll say a lot of things, and talk is cheap. This is THE epitome of BAD FAITH.
i remember way back in /r/atheism, when the zeitgeist was "we need to respect everyone's beliefs even if we don't agree!!!" whenever i would ridicule religion
yea. so now they not only pay no taxes, but now YOUR taxes are paying for THEIR sunday school, except it's every day, and it's compulsory. so glad i don't have kids
I have a son who's coming up on school age quick. I always wanted to home school him and this is one of the reasons.
The curriculum I can handle, my concern was always the exclusion and lack of social interaction. So when I found out there's home schooling groups I was excited.
After looking into just about every group in my area can you guess what each one has in their curriculum and at the center of their core beliefs?
Religion. They're all nutty religion "schools". Turns out that's what a big part of homeschooling is in a lot of places. I guess to them public school teaches too much of that pesky wicked algebra and not enough about the lords word.
exclusion and lack of social interaction
that's one of the most important features of mandatory religious indoctrination-- any kids who aren't jesusey enough become targets of bullying/discrimination, and seeing how bullies face no consequences already, then it's not hard to see even the most skeptical kids start toeing the line
I hate that idea. Respect every person, not necessarily their beliefs
Respect every person, not necessarily their beliefs
And just while their actions still warrant respect, and no further.
Hear hear. I may respect one’s right to their beliefs, as that’s also my right, but an individual’s beliefs can be dog shit. I have no obligation to respect that.
the problem is that the belief has become such an integral part of identity, that anything anyone says about the belief is taken as a statement about the person i.e., "an attack on my beliefs is an attack on ME personally"
and way too many fucking people just go along with that attitude, like that's just a fine way to live life, instead of kindergarten-tier fallacious
