How is deciding the child was at fault and must have used the book as a weapon with no proof the 'smallest fault in Christianity'?

where was that "decided"? I read a bunch of theories being thrown out because so little information was given. And even if the child WAS at fault and threw the Bible at someone and gave them a black eye....even if that did happen, or someone just believed it might have happened...how in the world is that Christian bashing?
Are you saying that Christians are without fault and would never do anything wrong?

Sorry, one could look at the bashing as noted on Liberals or Democrats or any other religion outside of Christianity and perhaps have a point.

And if you believe this is Christian Bashing, no one can tell you different. I just find it along the same lines as the 'mock outrage' on that 'War on Christmas'.

I'm not outraged or offended I'm simply stating my view.

Christian's being human make the same mistakes Non-Christian's do.

This is a generalization.

Simply because we don't have all the facts.

You took it as hatred..

When I showed you were wrong, you now want to say my comments are silly.. Fine enjoy yourself!

As to the facts here in PA.. You haven't lost your home for Public school taxes or don't know anyone who has.. I do.. They (the taxes) are never enough. Even if you pay for private school you still have to pay the taxes for Public school.. So you have to pay twice.. Oh and they (the Government) decide what your Home and property are worth and that value continually goes up even during the market decline..

Are you right! We have friends who moved to PA from VA. My husband tried to warn them about the taxes. They have an extra $500 a Month.. A MONTH on their mortgage for school taxes! and they don't have any children! How is that even remotely affordable or even moral for that matter? How can anyone support extortion like this?

It's not moral or right.. But politicians don't care! In either Party!

My mortgage is roughly $400, my property taxes is roughly $500 which equates to my mortgage payment of just over $900 a month.. The Government(s) claims that it funds the school, yet they always seem to be building newer Taj Mahals with huge atrium's and bigger sports facilities and of course the teachers wages and pensions continue to go up.

All the while the average income in the community goes down due to taxation.. Also in spite of the increase of money they always claim they need more because our kids are failing blah blah blah....

We also here in PA will be hit hard here shortly because the pensions for Government employees (which includes teacher, which may be the largest part) is about to collapse. Well that is unless they can .....

Wait for it...

Raise taxes!

Even though we the people have been paying for the pension the entire time the Government spent the money elsewhere instead of putting it in the pensions as they should of been. So now we will get hit for it AGAIN!

I am proud to call myself a Christian but I am also regretfully a sinful person at times. With that said I would like to say that although I wish all children and adults alike could and would enjoy reading the Bible I am going to stand up a little for possibly a very "scared" teacher.

People have removed God from school. They can no longer pray. Realistically I think maybe this teacher just got afraid for her job because of a "gray" area. If there are children in the class whom are from non-Christian homes ... do you really believe there would have not been a ton of fall-out from letting the child read the book?

Now as far as me and mine I think we would have sat and listened intently.

When I want to tell other folks what to do, I usually go to the Old Testament for scriptural back-up.

But, when I want other folks to cut me some slack, the New Testament seems to be a pretty good source.

That way, things sort of balance out to prove that I am not only right, but righteous.

Let me see if I can phrase this in a way that Jeffrey will comprehend. I'm going to go out on a limb guess that he doesn't much care for Islam, and one reason is because it treats Christians as second-class citizens, and thus he would be happy to see Islam pass away (voluntarily and peacefully, of course). Am I correct?

So, folks should quit believing what they believe and start believing what you believe? Seth
