"Bring Your Quran to School Day"

[Blake]

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WHAS11) -- On Facebook, Kentucky Governor Matt promoted the national effort, 'Bring your Bible to School Day.'

"Use it as a conversation. A conversation with other students," Gov. Bevin announced on his Facebook page.

His endorsement is getting applause and admonishment. The Freedom from Religion Foundation is sounding the alarm on the governor taking a public stand.

[Blake]

"It is wrong for the governor to use his position, his elected position, to assist evangelizing his personal beliefs," said Edwin Hensley.

Hensley is the co-organizer for the Kentucky chapter of the FFRF. He also has an issue with how any talks about religion would be policed on public school property, including those students who don't want to participate.

"If two students want to talk about it, that is perfectly fine. If a Christian starts evangelizing and the other person, whether it's a non-Christian, Christian of a different belief, saying, 'I don't want to talk about this.' Then it should stop," Hensley said.

We received mixed responses on our WHAS11 Facebook page.

Jon Patterson posted, "I believe this or any kind of religion should be taught at home or private schools not in public schools."

Scott Hollenbeck said, 'Students should take a Bible to school every day.”

Governor Bevin suggested bringing a Bible to school is a teaching moment. "If we followed Biblical principles like treating others as you wanted to be treated, living your neighbor like yourself, simple stuff. Now, this is the stuff we should celebrate. I love the idea that young people are bringing Bibles to school," Gov. Bevin said in the Facebook post.

The FFRF released this statement in response to Gov. Bevin encouraging students to take their Bibles to school:

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is admonishing the Kentucky governor for exhorting students to carry*bibles*to class.

In a highly inappropriate*Oct. 3 Facebook video post, Gov. Matt Bevin encourages schoolchildren to bring their bibles to school. The video, which is clearly tagged as “GOVERNOR.KY.GOV,” promoteswww.BringYourBible.org, a scheme pulled together by a national evangelical outfit.

The governor’s video and posting encourage children to “bring your bible” into classes to convert other students to Bevin’s particular brand of religion: Protestant Christianity.

the fucking Confederacy/slave states still fucking up America.

what is someone brought along the gnostic gospels?

[Chucho]

They should do a whole week and every faith is allowed to bring their Holy Book to school on a specific day.

[rjv]

They should do a whole week and every faith is allowed to bring their Holy Book to school on a specific day. and during atheist week they can bring in their favorite richard dawkins book and during nihilist week they can bring in their favorite nietzsche essay.

As long as everyone has equal representation and is treated fairly.

:lmao the sad part is you think Christians are the ones treated the most unfairly here.

[Spurminator]

You are currently allowed to bring any holy book you want to school.

More invented Christian oppression.

[Chucho]

:lmao the sad part is you think Christians are the ones treated the most unfairly here.

By bigots like you, yes.

[Blake]

How so?

[RandomGuy]

Hail Satan.

[Chucho]

How so?
Can I make things up and put words in mouths, like you? Or the truth?

[Chucho]

Hail Satan.
Why not? The Feds recognize Satanism as a legit religion.

[Blake]

Truth will work. How are Christians treated unfairly?

I think I want to make things up so you can be correct when you tag people for talking out their asses.

I'm getting ready to tag you now for talking out of your ass

Fine. Just make sure your analogies are accurate.

[Chucho]

:depressed"Muh gay wedding cake. They needs to do as their told!"

Atheistic Supremecists treat Christians the way the LOLeft claims all white people treat blacks.

[spurraider21]

:depressed"Muh gay wedding cake. They needs to do as their told!"
They're not forced to make gay cakes or cakes the shape of cocks. The issue is about refusing service to people on the basis of their sexual orientation


Atheistic Supremecists treat Christians the way the LOLeft claims all white people treat blacks.
Can you give a specific circumstance where this analogy works?

[SnakeBoy]

As long as everyone has equal representation and is treated fairly.

For equal representation, if Muslims get one day then Christians should get around 1 1/4 days. Atheists get like an hour or so.

Sounds about right

OT but why aren't Atheists more pissed at Scientologists rather than Christians? If I worshiped science I'd be pissed at those fuckers stealing the name.

I don't think anyone takes scientology seriously. Plus they don't have political pull or impact legislation and the courts.

[monosylab1k]

By bigots like you, yes.

I’m a Christian, you dipshit. :lmao

[Chucho]

I’m a Christian, you dipshit. :lmao

A bigoted one. I hear Blake and Boots hate your kind.

They worshiped science fiction, not science.

[Spurminator]

I mean, there have been like 6 high profile anti-Scientology documentaries in the last 10 years, not counting South Park episodes. I'm not sure it's lacking for negative attention.

[RandomGuy]

Why not? The Feds recognize Satanism as a legit religion.

The bar for being a "religion" is not very high. Ask John Oliver.

I do find it funny when Satanists use the same religious freedom arguments against the evangelical asshats.

Such as asking a baker to make a Satan themed cake. Refusing such is taking an action against a definite protected class.

[RandomGuy]

For equal representation, if Muslims get one day then Christians should get around 1 1/4 days. Atheists get like an hour or so.

Everybody gets a day. Imagine all the deprogramming that could be done.

[RandomGuy]

Atheists don't worship science.

It is cool, but it is merely a tool for determining truth.

[RandomGuy]

:depressed"Muh gay wedding cake. They needs to do as their told!"

Can't argue too much with that. There are some real atheist jerks.

That said, a lot of Christians are easily triggered snowflakes with a sense of entitlement a mile wide.

[Spurminator]

For whatever reason, having the freedom to practice religion isn't enough for a lot of Christians. They need to be validated.

Being able to silently pray any time you want in school or at a game isn't enough, we need everyone in attendance to be silent so we can have a collective prayer led over the loudspeaker.

We need God acknowledged on our currency and in the pledge we require kids to recite daily.

We need our science textbooks to acknowledge that not everyone believes in evolution, and to detail why they don't believe it and what they do believe.

Yeah I don't know any atheists that go door to door preaching the Bad News

It's "Heil". Jeebus! No wonder we're kicking you out of the club.

It was just a test to see if there were any Athiests that are easily triggered snowflakes.

You and Blake jumped right on it as expected.

Responding to a post makes you a triggered snowflake? That's quite the bar

Pretty much on ST these days. The reverse triggered thing has been the thing ever since people like RG managed to recover from the election result.

You mean like how you jumped right onto Google images after you saw this thread?

[SnakeBoy]

Maybe they're not triggered and just think they must respond to every meme.

[I. Hustle]

I agree with both of these statements. I will stick up for Christians most of the time but there are a ton of just plain asshole ones that will not listen to reason. That goes for any group though. In any belief there are overzealous d bags.

[RandomGuy]

Did you know Jesus was a myth? Here's a pamphlet on the middle eastern mythology that formed the original basis of Jewish mythology and one on critical thinking.

[RandomGuy]

You and Blake jumped right on it as expected.

LOL making fun of you is "triggered".

Sorry you seem to have me confused with someone who cares about your shitty memes. I really, really don't. Keep thinking I do, if that makes you happy though.
