Religion trumping common sense.
It would seem some Conservative Christian
and Muslim parents are telling Ontario schools they need to know when big, bad
Homosexuality, birth control, evolution and “environmental worship” is being
discussed in classrooms.
Environmental Worship? That’s a new one for
me.
Not to mention, why are right wing
conservative Christians sharing a lollipop with Muslims? The sky is falling the
sky is falling as Chicken Little would say.
Yes, these parents want to pull the wool
over their kid’s eyes when the truth or the real world rears its ugly
non-Christian head in the classroom. The real world contradicts traditional,
thousand year-old beliefs.
There’s a reason for that.
Beliefs founded on limited knowledge of the
world from two thousand plus years ago are just that- limited.
It’s just a fantasy that worked at the
time.
Jesus doesn’t work today.
Oh, the stained glass is nice.
It’s art. It's culture.
Many religious structures are historic.
It’s art. It's culture.
Many religious structures are historic.
That’s good.
It helps us remember times past but it’s a
fantasy if you actually belief Christ and his Daddy are up there in Heaven
listening to your prayers.
Help me pass my test.
Get me a new car.
Make people like me.
Cure my cancer.
These groups wants conservation tied in
with God- their creator.
I can see my recycle bin now- “I recycle
for Jesus!”
They want the “real world” to be hidden
from their kids. They want to steer them in the right direction before the kids
can see it all for themselves.
They have to be carefully taught.
It’s God’s Holy ordinance.
Ignorance, hate, differences.
That’s what religion does.
It separates.
Separates friends and family.
Communities.
Countries.
The world.
I’m hoping the Ontario Educational System
hangs tight on this one. I wonder, if a child is asked to draw “family” and
he or she draws two Mums or two Dads, is this accepted?
I am sure it is.
However, in a Catholic School the child may
be ridiculed for upsetting the Catholic apple cart-
“No little Johnny, God doesn’t like two men
and two ladies together. Now draw a penis on that one and boobs on this one and
we’ll call it a day!”
Grownups in the real world know their
religion is hanging by a thread. Common sense is trumping a nice story from a
couple of thousand years ago. In another generation it’ll be gone the way of
the Edsel.
