Kentucky trying to be a religious state? Really?

I have to admit I LOLed.

 

Wait - I thought they were Pastafarians...?

 

CONGRESS - read your own bolding.

This class looks fine to me, but lawsuits may ensue from the Satanists and Pastafarians, as others have remarked.

 

You beat me to it!

The problem is the exclusively Christian nature of the study; I think lawsuits are inevitable to force inclusion of - at the very least - the other two Abrahamic branches, and perhaps Secular Humanism & etc. as well.

 

The Satanists will have their day, and in Kentucky of all places!

 

^ Some good points.

I don't know why it says I said what's quoted in red, as I didn't. The red is part of yguy's comment.

 

yep, and with all the child molestation in the church we have heard about recently, for some Sunday school is no longer a option, they no longer trust leaving children in the hands of the church.. sad!

 

SCOTUS completely disagrees with you as do several parts of the Constitution.

 

yep congress could pass no law funding a public school that denied some religions over an other... all or none... thanks for clearing that up... schools would lose federal funding as it would be unconstitutional for congress to sign any bill that endorsed any one religion over another... most prefer $$$ over their religion being the only religion taught in a school...

 

Do you understand that I didn't say "No state is prohibited from doing so by anything in the Constitution, 14A included?"

You deliberately edited my post #83 to omit my clarifying this.

Is this allowed by forum rules?

Please edit your post.

TIA

 

only if the Christians can't play nice in the sandbox and deny them the same rights

btw, the laws were made by Christians back in the Christian infighting days... not Satanists, Satanists never had the votes to make that so without Christians and other religions

back then most immigrates came from a theocracy, and did not want to see it happen again, they wanted the government to stay out of religion....

 

personaly I think it's unconstitutional to ban peyote or marijuana, based on religious grounds alone, but there are others, unconstitutional laws have been passed though in the past

how can Congress say only native Indians are allowed to worship the Peyote religion in the privacy of their homes?

heck, Trump just signed a law he himself declared unconstitutional.. what? so much for his oath, he can't even claim he thought it was constitutional, always gonna be those in government that do not care about the constitution

 

What religious folks fail to realize is the Congress shall pass no law...was put in to protect religions from government, not the other way around.
They can say they're going to stick strictly to the writings but the Bible is a document over which wars have been fought over it's interpretation, it's not cut and dried clear as day.
What is going to happen in Kentucky is the day will come when a Hatfield teacher offends a McCoy student and then all Hell breaks loose.
They should protect their children and keep religion out of the schools and in their homes and places of worship.

 

The 14th amendment extends the restrictions on the Federal government found in the Bill of Rights to the states.

 

Now you are quoting the 14th the amendment not a single democrat signed? The one that didn't give rights to Indians ?


That amendment?


.

 

Why are you deflecting? The 14th Amendment extends the restriction on establishing a religion to the states.

 

What? Where does it say that in the 14th?

 

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;"

 

That has nothing to do with religion...

 

No, the First Amendment has to do with religion, and that part of the 14th amendment says that States cannot violate the freedoms of US citizens anymore than the federal government can.

The First Amendment says Congress can't establish a religion. The 14th says neither can States.

 

And of course the establishment clause is neither.

 

Yes it is. It's an immunity.

 

unreal!!! look what they are causing. not what they meant to cause but what they actually cause.

 

You may be right. Maybe. But it should send alarms to the government and other citizens in the country.
