This space for rent

 

[cKGunslinger]

Hahahaha! This will be quick.

 

[blurredvision]

That makes God a hypocrit, no?

 

[GTaudiophile]

I'm all for the Ten Commandments being hung on every wall of every public building but that's me.

Don't you think having "Thou Shalt Not Steal" in front of every IRS employee would be a good thing?

 

[ChaoZ]

Dear God, why do you still go there then?

More importantly, why do you think it would make a difference?

Uh.. religion isn't banned in schools. You can pray all you want and wear religious clothing. Hell, my high school even had a Christian group for athletes.

 

[Howard]

Also, this is obvious flamebait.

I think being reminded of higher authority is a good thing.

I dunno, sometimes I feel like coveting my classmates ox in the middle of a lecture, and if the ten commandments were there they would know it wasnt really "a school rule".

Good thing your opinion doesn't mean anything, then.

Want a list of the churches that have been shot up and people murdered while attending mass? Since God apparently answers your questions about why he doesn't save kids in school why don't you ask him the toughie about why he can't be bothered to protect people in mass worshiping him. I'm dying to hear the answer.

They're being called home to eternal bliss in the afterlife. The tickets generally are sold in bullet-shaped packages, and guns are the most effective way of delivering them.

Sadly, that is pretty close to the answer the bible-thumpers like to use.

If God created people and didn't give them the ability to make choices, good and bad, what would the purpose of Christianity be? The suffering/death argument is a piss poor one that's been shot to pieces an uncountable number of times in the past, but refuses to die.

No, it's been dismissed by desperate people who can't come up with an answer for it. It's never been shot to pieces.

So tell me, if you truly believe that getting whacked is all a matter of the murderer having free will, what are you in church praying for? That's another sticky one the believers dismiss because the answer troubles them. If god can't save you from bullets, accidents, bad health and pedophile priests, WHY ARE YOU IN CHURCH PRAYING FOR HIM TO DO THOSE THINGS?? Take your time on that one.
