Separation of church and state immediately comes to mind. Isn't that the mantra you heathens used to ban school prayer? And every one of those books is available on Amazon, all but the Tibetan Book of the Dead, for less than 10 bucks. Sex and violence in the Bible? Doesn't come close to the explicit crap these parents have been reading aloud in school board meetings for the past two years.
The irony here is that my 1 school year in catholic school (8th grade), put me academically ahead of my peers when I returned to public high schools, that's 8th grade with daily school prayer and a one-hour mass on Thursdays.

School prayer was never banned at public schools.
What was prohibited were teachers, as public employees, leading class in prayer.
Kids can pray as much as they want with friends or individually at recess, lunch break, between classes, etc.
That's the same reason a bible or Qur'an in the highschool library isn't an issue. No teacher or other public employee is supposed to use it to lead classes in bible study.
I've always kind of liked the idea that there will be consequences for truly evil people. Hitler and Stalin deserve to be in the ninth circle of hell.
In one sense you are probably right; we don't need religion because as a human civilization we have just inherited and adopted many of the ethical frameworks and moral imperatives of the major religions traditions, and just stripped away the religious language and context..
While I know a little about Asian religions, your comment prompted me to "Pull a Perry" and Google Pacific culture religions.
The idea of animism was interesting, along with the concept that people can change supernatural powers.

good info!
That's not pulling a Perry because you are consistent in citing your sources, rather than passing it off as your own ideas!
I know next to zero about Polynesian religions, but I do have the sense that animism is widespread across Africa and among the indigenous Americadnsy. I once read something about John Lame Deer, who is reputed to be an eminent native American animist shaman
Through the selection of Paul's books for the Bible, the early church leaders focus upon the concept of such punishment for non-believers and/or evil people. After all, if there was no punishment, then why not do whatever the fuck we wanted?
IMHO, those who choose evil, specifically intentionally harming others, diminish themselves. If life is seen as the progression of a child from K through 12, like a teenager who believes what happens in HS is important enough to kill others or themselves, people would be foolish to consider that there is something more to existence.
If you were as smart as you believe yourself to be, Arbie, you'd see there's a reason for Fredo's behavior as an adult just like there's a reason for your behavior.
You sound just like the Lefties whining that their attacks on guns are not "banning guns".
See, vols? Your neo-Nazis and Lefties really are just alike!
Pushing one religion over another would be a violation of church and state, but teaching about the world's religions is educational. Just don't show favoritism.
Your bias is noted.
How would you make public schools better?

not the same
gun nuts want to ban the AR15 meaning u cant buy one

Like a Lefty, you are talking degrees.
All banning is bad. I support age-appropriate, but banning is wrong no matter how you slice it.

link just one that is banned by any US State that u can not buy...and i wont post for 30 days and if u cant u dont post for 30 days
deal?.....yes or no
no such thing as a banned book
There has to be some universal ethical framework humans generally agree on, and historically that came from the religious tradition.
I think most major world religions maintain that there is a price to be paid for wrong actions that are contrary the way of heaven, to T'ien Tao, to the will of Allah. That might be fantasy, but it's a tempting concept to hold.
All you want, just like AKs and ARs. W00t! "You" meaning any American legal to buy one. Not felonious scumbags.
The fact you were compelled to use size 7 font is interesting.
Agreed upon or died out. Tribes that condone mass murder and rape of its members don't last long.
No one knows for sure about the afterlife, but we can certainly figure out the best way to get along.
