Is this correct? Would you be support Satanists & Pastafarians also getting equal time for school prayer? What would you say to change his mind?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof... Creating a moment of silence in home room within a schools to allow prayers in your own mind, or just to get your head straight for the day is within the bounds of the law. People have a right to free exercise of religion. It doesn't matter what religion you follow. That said, schools do have codes of conduct, so if there is a moment of silence reserved for your possible religious prayer that means you have to do it silently and peacefully... You know, as in the right of the people peaceably to assemble. If your religion isn't all that peaceful then tough shit, I guess you're out of luck. I also believe allowing approved volunteer chaplains in school for counseling purposes is fair game. The government isn't mandating any religion in that scenario. It's not part of the curriculum that students learn. It is just providing a mental health counseling option that is more in tune with specific student's culture. It's all voluntary from the community and parents have to approve of it. That doesn't mean anyone and everyone is let into school just because they claim to be religious counsel. To work in a school environment you have to pass FBI background checks and come back clean. You can't have some rainbow haired pedophile tranny on the sex offender list that is actively involved in terrorist groups like ANTIFA infiltrate schools under the umbrella of the church of Satan. People have to have a spotless record and be cleared to be safe and of good moral character to be around children. If you are a Satanist, it's kind of against your religion to be of good moral character, thus you might not pass an interview and get cleared by administration. If you don't get cleared, tough shit, get over it.

Why should a place of learning teach or encourage superstitious nonsense of any variety at all?

[DrPepper12]

It shouldn't. Ever.

*Except as world history or literature. But the faith and tenets? No fn way

[Juxtapose]

Thanks for mho. I think the bullet points of the religion should be understood at least. I learned about Islam and that knowledge is helpful. So is Hinduism, the caste system.. that kinda thing.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I don't have a problem if everyone can worship in their own way, but unfortunately Christian nationalists will say "no, not like that!" when it comes to other religions.

Better just to keep all prayer out of schools so nobody gets offended.

[DrPepper12]

Have I told you I ❤️ the way you think?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Aww ty!

[Siri137]

No one should be praying in class, especially if it's a government school they're in. That's indoctrination, and the students should be doing other things with the limited amount of time they have there (like learning how to count and spell).

[DrPepper12]

I ❤️ logic and pragmatism and you always display both!!

[Siri137]

Thank you <3

[normalice]

Seems fair. I like how the church of Satan does everything that Christians are allowed to do so Christians have to think about if they really wanted that to be allowed. If I had the energy I'd figure some way to help the church of Satan appear even more satanic to really help Christians understand why separation of church and state is for their own protection, too.

[DrPepper12]

I've argued with "libertarians" that it is the most repugnant, grotesque offensive, unconventional speech that is MOST in need of protection and was told that majoritarian views need to be preserved. I am a proud ACLU member and I'll support EVERY KKK parade and NAZI propaganda. Let the *marketplace of ideas" dispose of it but let them have their say

[Lliam]

I don't think there should be any prayer in public school. It's offensive. People can pray to whomever they want after school.

[DrPepper12]

💯🎯👍🏻❤️⬆️

[AngryCarl]

Everyone should be allowed to follow their own religion, or none if they prefer. I don't think it should be promoted in schools. There are churches for that kind of thing. Schools should teach useful stuff, but of course that will never happen.

[Twalli]

If they allow prayer in school I am doing pagan prayer. That's actually the main reason some Republicans don't support it. They only want Christan prayer in school.

[DrPepper12]

@Twalli knows what he's taking about!! 💯

[genericname85]

i think you should have the right to freely practice your religion. i do not think that society should have to bend to your ways of practicing your particular religion.

like i don't see any reason for why you should be forbidden to pray at school. but i think your desire to pray should not interfere with everyone elses education.

[strateguy632]

look at the sign "change my mind" they just wanna argue n troll.

this is an example of lazy. he is like "i don't support my claims. i say whatever bs. now YOU argue".

lazy baiting troll. common in atheism.

[DrPepper12]

Most athiest ARE atheists because they have pored over scriptures and researched and inquired. Lazy? No. Lazy is accepting fictional stories as reality.

[ravagesavage]

Nope. Every Satanist I've ever ran into and seen are very strange people, too strange.

[DrPepper12]

But was it the church of Satan or the satanic Temple? BIG DIFFERENCE!!

[WintersDaughter]

I agree lol. I don't necessarily mind it being in schools, as long as it's done privately and not pushed on any of the staff or kids.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't waste my time trying to change his mind. How do you describe light to a person that has only known darkness.

[DrPepper12]

Oh please try! Tell me how I'm a lapsed Catholic and don't hold a masters degree on the ancillary topics. Didn't your lord say to try and bring the word of God to people like me? It would be a SIN to pass up this opportunity, wouldn't it? 😂

[Opinion Owner]

God's time is perfect my friend. You'll hear him when you're ready. 🙂👍

[DrPepper12]

It's a shame you'll never know how wrong you are because you'll be dead and nothingness follows. No heaven for you but by all means circumscribe your life for what a bunch of illiterate goat herders dreamed up without science.

[Opinion Owner]

😆😆😆

[purplepoppy]

If you want Christian grooming send your kids to camp on Caldey Island, Pembrokeshire.

[exitseven]

As far as I know there is no longer prayer in the public schools. If there was I would certainly be against Satan Worship.

[Dargil]

Pastafarians? Spaghetti worshippers?

[DrPepper12]

Yes. The Church of the flying spaghetti monster. ordained minister pay no property taxes since they host "services" at their home ie, pasta night. You really should check them out!!

[grega239]

No religion in schools should be the norm

[DrPepper12]

Yaaaassssss!!! Agree 💯
