All the world's religions and even those who call themselves non-religious can be put into two categories. Those that believe in a personal Creator and those that don't. A good course on the college level would be one that examines the presuppositions of so called Creationism and Evolutionism. Up to highschool, it would be best to let the parent of the kids decide which world view they should believe.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163876007786334757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4457462934916022222.post-45593212047332136402011-05-15T03:23:22.847+09:002011-05-15T03:23:22.847+09:00I would like to propose another topic for discussi...I would like to propose another topic for discussion: Teaching Creationism, Religion, & Evolution in high schools vs college.<br />I think it would be a little difficult to teach on all the different Religions in the United States, but possibly focusing on some of the big ones: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Christianity. I took a course in college that discussed these religions which was only 2 weeks long but supremely interesting. <br />Should this stay at a college level because perhaps in high school the students don't have the formal thought capacity to learn about these different ways of thinking?<br />Or do you think too many parents would cause a big stink about their children learning something other than what their families' beliefs are?<br />Or would parents' be appeased with the idea that the students are learning about more than just Creationism vs Evolution?The Shrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348200557980742920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4457462934916022222.post-74179379826422591252011-05-10T10:04:03.232+09:002011-05-10T10:04:03.232+09:00The 2000 year old book(actually parts of which are...The 2000 year old book(actually parts of which are much older) which you disdain, in its opening chapters objectively gives women dignity and respect with human rights from their Creator. Without it you have only humans opinions that are liable to change over time. In that case you wind up with the tyranny of the powerful or of the majority. At this point women are more powerful than their embryos so they feel justified in aborting them. Is that what you want to say?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163876007786334757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4457462934916022222.post-14316734212693879732011-05-09T19:02:28.485+09:002011-05-09T19:02:28.485+09:00NEWS FLASH!

There are actually quite a large number of people in the world (i.e. most) who don't rely on a 2,000-year-old book to do their thinking for them and who actually live in the 21st century. Just because you say it's immoral for a woman to demand the right to control her own body doesn't make it so, and to insist that the rights of an embryo supersede the rights of a woman is a dangerous path to go down.Doughttp://planetjapan.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4457462934916022222.post-59717464004303783782011-05-09T08:17:24.216+09:002011-05-09T08:17:24.216+09:00As long as Planned Parenthood insists in its state...As long as Planned Parenthood insists in its statements that say that women have the right to choose to abort their babies, even if only 3% of its activity accounts for abortions, that still makes the organization immoral. If the organization continues to insist on its position on abortion despite good information that abortion is killing an innocent human being, it is the moral obligation of legislators to defund and abolish it. There are other organizations that provide excellent free services for the health needs for women, so there are absolutely no grounds to protect the organization.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163876007786334757noreply@blogger.com
