A stick figure drawing of Jesus gets second grader suspended

Posted by JediLlama 85 days ago in Religion (http://guyism.com)
A Massachusetts boy was asked to draw something that reminded him of Christmas for his second grade class. The boy, clearly unaffected by Santa Claus propaganda, drew a picture of the birthday boy Jesus Christ on the cross. The teacher didn’t like it, leading to the 8-year-old boy to be sent home and required to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Stop judging everyone based on your religious beliefs!

Posted by JediLlama 9 days ago in Religion (http://jcroucher.com)
I REALLY hate it when someone comes along and says my 2,000 year old book says you should be put to death because of the way you choose to live your life.
What right do these people have to go around judging other people for how they choose to live their life. Now I know the bible, the Old Testament - Leviticus does say this, well kind of.

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them"

This wording also depends on the translation but basically it seems like the bible is saying, if your gay then you should be killed. What a wonderful loving god we have here.

Pat Robertson's contradictory theology: God won't stop a tsunami -- but might respond to Gay Days with an earthquake

Posted by JediLlama 13 days ago in Religion (http://mediamatters.org)
Responding to a question from ABC host George Stephanopoulos about why a God "so involved in our daily life" would allow a tsunami to kill hundreds of thousands of people, Rev. Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America, replied: "I don't think He reverses the laws of nature." That statement, on the May 1 edition of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, conflicts with other meteorological comments by Robertson, who has repeatedly linked natural disasters to the will of God.

God Is No Excuse

Posted by JediLlama 17 days ago in Religion (http://newsjunkiepost.com)
We are all born, and we have no choice in that. We have no choice as to the situation we are born into, good or bad. We have no responsibility for negative hardships that exist at the time of our birth anymore than we can take credit for any inherent advantages. We come into this world blind, ignorant and incompetent and we learn about our environment, the limitations and the potentialities as we develop. Each one of us share this experience. In fact, this is one of the few universal things that we all share equally. We are born, we share the vulnerabilities as humans to illness, pain, hunger, violence and suffering, and then we die. These are facts. This is the situation that all of us share. These are the things we have in common that none of us can escape. These are the things that none of us can exercise any substantive control over. We are born, we are vulnerable and then we die.

Christians claim hate crimes law an effort to ‘eradicate’ their beliefs

Posted by JediLlama 32 days ago in Religion (http://rawstory.com)
A Christian group in Michigan has filed a lawsuit alleging that a package of hate crimes laws named after murder victim Matthew Shepard is an affront to their religious freedom.
Filed by the Thomas More Law Center -- which bills itself as the religious answer to the American Civil Liberties Union -- the complaint claims that protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people "is an effort to eradicate religious beliefs opposing the homosexual agenda from the marketplace of ideas by demonizing, vilifying, and criminalizing such beliefs as a matter of federal law and policy."
