Again Rev. Ed Trevors has some great reasons that the church and state remain separate. He says he wouldn’t want the government coming into his church so he doesn’t want church in schools. He asks what if the government mandated some things be posted in church, like protections for LGBTQ+ people and he has quite a list including a post celebrating pride months. What about pictures of presidents being required. I can imagine these hate churches having to put up Biden and Obama’s official photos. Well worth the watch. I love that he says it is not the job of the church to force how to live on others. Hugs. Scottie

Hi Suze. Love the image of Christian outrage if it ever happened. In their voice “How dare those mired in the past heathen evil people push their religion on our good Christian kids” … totally clueless this is what they are doing to every non-Christian family child. If someone wants their child educated in a religious view … OK I don’t agree with it, but it is allowed, but do it at home or your church and leave me and my child out of it. Why is it only Christians get to force their bible, their god, their religion on everyone’s child? But as your comment suggests, they would have a complete Second Amendment meltdown over it. Hugs.

I really don’t want anything from anyone’s religious or religion-adjacent books being read to children in school. Later on, when they have literature classes, I have no trouble with the presence of classical religious texts, as tools learning about literature, but not religion. No testing for who believes what or why, just sentence structure, language, and all the things they do in Lit classes these days. If there are Lit classes these days.

Hello Ali. I agree. In fact I would like to see a comparative world’s religion class offered to teens in school as an accredited history class. One of the books I had for years and lost was a large book of the world’s religions. The book had chapters on every religion and their sects with a summary of beliefs and a bit of history of them. It was a wonderful tool. I can’t remember if It was ordered alphabetical or by date of the religion. But the book was great to be able to see how one religion would follow from the last one, how religions borrowed from each other, how so many of the stories were so much the same with different names.
That way kids could see that there is not really one true religion. That all religions basically the same goal points to used to live a decent life in society. A religion worth the name is simply a guide for a personal code of conduct, how to treat others, how to be a good person. IMO.
Of course the fundamentalist of every religion would blow gaskets about it. Just as these people don’t want anyone hinting to their ignorant little crotch fruit that LGBTQ+ exist and that everyone should be treated equally, they sure don’t want them to know there were other gods and that other religions are just like theirs. I am surprised these people don’t demand that Greek and Roman gods not be taught. Hugs. Scottie
