[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny that this thread is about teaching art to Christian children and it's one of the most vitriolic, profane exchanges on this board (which is saying a lot).

Did we hit a nerve, Trumpies? [/quote]

uh . . . Who was originally butthurt?

OP is taking offense at Pence's new teaching position.  Remember that this is a private school embracing a religious philosophy.  Many religions either condone homosexuality or just barely tolerate it.  As a former Catholic who attended Catholic school, I can share what the beliefs were.  Sue, you can be gay but don't act on those "impulses." So you either follow the rules or move on.

It is what it is.

So this is where I just have to laugh at the hypocrisy of the neo liberals, which is an appropriate term these days.  You'll fight to the death to be "inclusive" in SOME cases  but will attack when a religion excludes certain people and forbids specific practices.

Let's look at a woman's right to cover.   You must know that the Koran is not gay-friendly. But if she sends her child to a school steeped in "true" Islamic doctirne (as in what's in the Koran is right), do you "love the sinner but hate the sin?"

And what's the sin in this case?  her belief system? which is, by the way, the same "extended" doctrine which encourages her to cover

Would you become angry is this woman were president or First Lady?

You can't have it both ways.   [/quote]

Just as long as you acknowledge that these same people crying about religious liberty would be raging at a second lady going to teach at a madrasa.

We get it. Karen Pence thinks a huge number of American citizens should suppress their true selves or face eternity in hell. It is equally valid that those Americans and their family/friends have an equal right to think Karen Pence is a looney whose ideas are psychologically harmful.  She doesn’t accept them for who they are and they don’t accept her for who she is.  Freedom![/quote]

You will have liberals and conservatives aghast at the thought of a first lady teaching at an Islamic institute.

No one fits into a box.  My good friend is from Iran.  They were all practicing until they hit the US - all at a very age. Suddenly, there's a Christmas tree in the house. She married a Christian and they baptized their baby.  Her mother covered until she moved here.  their choice to "adapt, to be "flexible" regarding their beliefs

So where do they fit into the picture?

There is no UNITED States.  We are pockets of tiny agendas floating around the country.  Sometimes one pocket absorbs its neighboring pocket.  Other times, the pockets are at war.

Unless there's [b]harm [/b]being done - and that's another gray area to define - we should just float around in our pockets, as likes will always attract likes, right?[/quote]
