Oklahoma dept. of education to require bible-studies and bible-based education in public schools

Sickening.

That's when you break out the skeptic's annotated bible and read some highlights from that.

From grades 5 to 12, I'm surprised there's even still idiots and morons pushing for this shit. So much for a democratic constitutional republic. Then again, I've seen Oklahoma doing this ever since more than a decade ago.

"We will be issuing a memo that every school district will adhere to, which is, that every teacher in every school in the state will have a Bible in the classroom and will be teaching from the Bible in the classroom".

Among others, Rep. Ryan Walters (the man who issued the mandate) wants to enforce prayer, ten commandments and religious training for public school teachers.

Yes, this is bullshit.
But don't worry, enforced Christian religious education does very little. I live in a country where that is considered the norm. Nobody pays attention in those classes and none of the teachers put in any effort. We should view it as idiotic and a waste of money, yes, but nobody will actually put in the effort as a teacher to brainwash the kids. The average Christian is way too lukewarm for that.

I don't know, they could be testing the waters to implement this across the country. Then again, who knows what they could do.

This is democratic. This is what most of the people who live there wanted, and they elected people to represent them who said that this is a goal that they wanted to do. This is an example of local and state government functioning correctly, and properly representing their people. Just their people are dumb, and what they wanted to do ended up being something dumb.

The political structure of local representation is working correctly. Which is a win, because what usually happens is attacks from the federal government to enforce things in all states, and not allow the local people to have it be the way they want. Anything that gives more power to the state and less power federally, is overall a win.

This also is not going to have any result against us. If the parents were so christian, they would already be bringing the children to church every week and having them hear the same things. So in that case, this would not be any increase. For children and parents who are not christian, this will be beneficial because they will not be happy about this, and it may increase their hatred against christianity. For the children whose souls the Gods recognize as being ready to come to the Truth, this will not cause any harm. Because the Gods will ensure that they stay properly guided to Truth. And this likely will be beneficial, because they will see now by example how retarded, worthless, and disgusting that chrisianity is, which will further turn them away from it. This may also create more hatred against christianity in the rest of the country, which may lead to other laws being passed to limit and restrict the churches.

The Christian religion knows well that they are no longer being very credible. He no longer has so many blind believers and wants to train new ones. A desperate move in the hope of being able to renew the deception on young and defenseless minds. Repugnant
