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

Expand full comment

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.

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.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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

No Christian chaplains in public schools. Thank God.

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

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.

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!

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!)

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.

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!
