Phantasmatic Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 My opinoin on this matter is very vague and blunt, I think we all have a right to whatever religion we choose to be, and public schools should let Christians pray, Muslims pray, Satanists pray, Wicca pray, Buddhists pray, any kind of religion. No one has the right to say that another individual can't practice their religion freely. Again this is my opinion. the only thing that might arise is a fight between religions in schools, and that is my only concern.

YODA Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Let's open up a whole new can-o-worms "No one has the right to say that another individual can't practice their religion freely." ----- Unless that practice violates basic human rights?

TKD_McGee Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 What kind of "Basic Human Rights"? Why do Human Rights activists always bother us in the USA.. why don't they go over to Communist China and harass those people. Their citizens don't even have human rights. Slave Labor, Starvation, State Abortions, and Eating People... are far bigger Human Rights problems than the petty one's we have here, like the one you just mentioned. Do unto others, as they done to you.
YODA Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Who mentioned "us in the USA"? Who mentioned "Activists"? I'm not in the USA nor am I a human rights activist - and I agree, it's a global issue. What usually prevents things being done about human rights in the places you mention is two things. Money & politics. _________________ YODA KarateForums Sempai 2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.uk Qualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.uk Qualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology) [ This Message was edited by: YODA on 2002-04-18 09:54 ] YODA2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.ukQualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.ukQualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology)
Bitseach Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 Sure doesn't everyone pray to a flag every morning at school anyway? Maybe the flag will help them when the bogeymen come... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 If you tell a small child that the Easter bunny exists, that child will believe it. Religion seems to divide people like nothing else on Earth. More death, torture and mental anguish can be attributed to religion than any other reasons combined. What needs to be taught in schools (and at home) is tolerance and understanding. WWJD???....well he wouldn't comport himself like some of his followers Ti-Kwon-Leap"Annoying the ignorant since 1961"
