I'd like to respond...
The title of the thread is "Could this ever happen in the US?". Whether or not you agree with his opinion is irrelevant. It was on-topic.
In before Im not a moderator.
As was my response, exactly what would YOU like to do about the problem in England? As far as it happening in the US, you would have to be retarded to believe that. You would basically have to make the argument that somehow most of Mexico would convert to Islam while they continue to be our largest source of imigration.
Although indirectly related, non-believers try and shove their anti-God bullshit down my throat, and discount my beliefs in the classroom with no evidence to the contrary.
Tit for tat, no?
No the fuck it is not. Your beliefs get absolutely ZERO credibility in the classroom up to and until you can qualifiy them using the
scientific method just like everything else we teach in the science classroom. You can not do that. I don't need proof that your bullshit idea (sorry buts its NOT a theory and never will be) is false, you need some sort of evidence to make it a Theory. As I said, we can prove the reason that Islam is so backwards today because they did the exact same thing some Christians are trying to do, they introduced religion into science/math. At the time Islam was the
leader in world progress and the intellectual capital of the world and they have no recovered since. Forgive me if I don't want to go through a 500 year period of absolutely no progress and massively uneducated masses because some idiots thought their fairy tale was actually science.
No comment here. Both are extremely unlikely.
I have already done it and you are far more likely to be struck and killed by lightning than a muslim.
Not only have non-believers tried to get laws passed banning religion, they have been MUCH more successful in doing so than believers have in bringing faith into the classroom, and society in general. Your point?
Please post links that show how these non believers got laws passed banning religious practice on private property using completely private funds. I would be happy to stand next to you and fight to have that repealed if you are in fact correct but I don't believe that you are. If your talking about getting religious bullshit banned from public schools/places or using public funds, cry me a river. If your religion can't promote itself without stealing my money to do so that ain't my problem.
Fairy tales? Who's pushing what down who's throat?
I am not pushing anything down your throat. I am very sorry if that offends you and while I obviously can't prove it, the likelihood of them being fairy tales is infinitely greater than being actual truth. Until such time that someone can prove to me that its not fairy tales I am going make the most likely educated guess that I can.
I sure hope you have much thicker skin than to let anything that I have said in this thread offend you or feel like I am "pushing my non belief down your throat". If I was standing in the middle of Bourbon street with a megaphone screaming about how it was a fairy tale you would have a very valid point but you entered this discussion of your own free will.
