[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't this against the law? This group is encouraging children to bring their (overwhelmingly Christian) bibles to school on Thursday. I thought there was supposed to separation of church and state in this country. Now were going to have kids trot out their bibles to show (and imply) that other kids (say Jewish, or other religions) are wrong?

If I had school-age kids, I'd keep them home that day. (I'm Jewish.)

[b]There are Christians are fervently disagree with their interpretation on passages in the Bible,[/b] and I would be offended if they were allowed to bring a Bible to school and beat my kids over the head with it.  This is proselytising.

If adults want to have a VOLUNTARY Bible discussion in a designated room at work, I have no problem with that.  But putting children in a situation where they are unable/incapable of espousing their views, is not only what Christ did not have in mind but a sure fire way to push children away from the very Book they are trying to encourage.

I remember when I was in elementaryt Catholic school decades ago, I was taught that people would go to hell if they were divorced.  I remember thinking of my best friend whose parents were divorced and worried about them for a long time.  I despised the Catholic church for years until I understood the hypocrisy when I was an older teen.  Children are impressionable, and the opportunity to be bullied into faith by another child is a strong possibility.

This is a terrible idea.[/quote]PP here.  That should read 'there are Christians who I fervently disagree with on their interpretation of passages in the Bible...'  I was thinking and typing too fast.[/quote]
