Gee, Christians suddenly getting cold feet when someone else wants equal treatment.

Bob Oz's avatar

Yes. And when they are told to give others equal treatment they always cry 'persecution!'

I'd like to ask the jackhole, if students need their parents' permission to speak to the chaplain, why can't they ask their parents to let them speak to the chaplain at his or her church. Why does it need to be at school? There are several times more churches in this county than there are schools. If these students are in pain, it is likely because they have adults like you telling them you know who they are better than they do. While it's true most teenagers are still figuring out who they are, it's ludicrous to suppose someone else knows who they are better than they do.

Not whe the other is a xian maniac fellow. Duh.

It isn't as if this country suffers from a lack of churches, and any student who wants to meet with a member of the clergy can easily do so right now. This is just one more attempt to force religion into the public schools, paid for with everyone's tax dollars. There is the over-riding assumption on the part of the Christian clergy their religion transforms people and makes them better. They believe this in spite of a total lack of evidence to support the claim.

cdbunch's avatar

Not just a *lack* of evidence, but in the face of 1700 years of contradictory evidence.

They know if they don't guilt/indoctrinate them young, they will never get them.

Let this be a warning, Christians...

Be careful what you wish (or pray) for.

Daniel Rotter's avatar

"Praying" is a theology-flavored type of "wishing." They aren't really separate things.

xenubarb's avatar

Prayers are a lot like casting spells to change reality in their favor.

NOGODZ20's avatar

No Christian chaplains in public schools. Thank God.

Jedi Senshi's avatar

Thank the Satanists & Humanists who stepped forward for their pieces of the pie being offered.

The image in my mind was Harris bouncing a laser pointer dot across the floor and Trump chasing after it.

Lynn Veit's avatar

My thoughts exactly. No way that pile of lard could move that fast.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Who could not have predicted how this would go? Who could not predicted that Trump would continue to shout even when his mic was turned off? :)

My favorite quote of the night came from Michael Steele "She spanked that ass!" said to Jen Psaki in the after analysis.

I had a use for it, it was the only vegetable Aria would eat without having a tantrum.

xenubarb's avatar

As far as cruciferous vegetables go, cauliflower is tolerable for me.

It will 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 get old watching Nat-Cs faceplant into the Law of Unintended Consequences. Shit's hilarious every. Single. Time.

A 3-2 vote ... which SHOULD have been Five-ZIP, except that there remain two people on that school board who seem to think that untrained chaplains can serve their kids better than qualified counselors.

The stupidity was at least blunted here for the moment. I wonder for how long.

Lynn Veit's avatar

Stupidity is a dangerous beast. Cut off one head and six grow back.

I'll have a healthcare plan "soon".

Glad I haven't been holding my breath.

Is Kamala facepalming?

Who knows how many children were spared from molestation by untrained "chaplains?"

Who knows how many gay and trans kids were spared from being berated by untrained "chaplains?"

Who knows how many kids who aren't christians, or the "wrong sort" of christians were spared from religious bullying by untrained "chaplains?"

We'll never know, but I do know this. Untrained christian chaplains should not be allowed within arm's reach of other people's kids!

Hail Satan!

Ro's avatar

Christians that believe that Christian nationalism and/or destroying secularism in the USA is a catastrophe for Christianity —and there is SO much evidence this is the case—should remember to give the Satanists credit for saving Christianity. (Inadvertently, of course. It’s clearly not what they’re trying to do!)

Daniel Rotter's avatar

Where's The Flying Spaghetti Monster Ministry Initiative?

NOGODZ20's avatar

And when may we see somethng from the Temple of the Jedi Order? Jediism is a religion, too.

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

So is Scientoology. There are more of them in Floriduh than TST. Hell, their worldwide spiritual headquarters is in Clearwater, FL. *cue movie announcer voice* Coming soon to a school near you, Tom Cruise hopping on a sofa. Hopping, not humping.

cdbunch's avatar

He really should be bleach-blonde.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

He should never have been LeStat, though.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Your edit killed the joke I was gonna make. :)

Daniel Rotter's avatar

Made your mission to tell a joke rather impossible, did it?

Didn't even get to flip through my file of IMF agents.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

I don't know he could also be a couch-humper... he's plenty weird.

xenubarb's avatar

After that happened, a minor league baseball team was handing out Tom Cruise on a Couch bobbleheads, so I jumped on eBay and got one for $20. Easier and cheaper than driving to Elsinore, buying a ticket to the game, and then having to sit through a baseball game!

Myself, I'm a Long Branch Saloonite-the only official approved religion of Dodge City Kansas, circa 1870's, baby!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

My girlfriend and I were "Floydians" for many years.

On a sabbatical restaurants tour.

Daniel Rotter's avatar

That's quite appropriate, given the "spaghetti" part of the religion!

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

No, he is looking for his balls 😇

I hope they are not in IKEA.

He doesn't have to search very far. Just look down, baby!

XJC's avatar

Almighty, omniscient, omnipotent God, with whom Christians have on-demand prayer access, can't seem to weasel in to a Florida school district.

cdbunch's avatar

Too busy telling the 400 churches each "You're my favorite"

XJC's avatar

Pray harder. Faster. Harder...yeah, that's it, don't stop!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

And that's only in Orlando!

Hank Long's avatar

Wonderful! I guess that means I can now remove the heebie-geebie magic curse I put on them so that their bleeding genital warts can heal over time... 😏

No healing - they do not deserve it
