If we have to teach creationism in school, then we should teach astrology

[Rabrrrrrr]

and other made up things that people believe are "true".

Especially, just to piss off the creationists, we should teach the "infinite turtles" fact, and all the other creation myths (facts) from every religion.

But also to piss off the astrology believers, I also wanted to lump astrology and chakra stones and hexagonal water and chemtrails and stuff in with the creationists.

[HEyHEY]

1. Let's teach fairy tales in social studies

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. and "prayer" and "faith healing" in health and psychology

[Canuckistanian]

2. And what about Phrenology?

And Mesmerism? And Spiritualism? They've been oppressed by the liberal conspirators too!

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Absolutely! That all gets included!

Tea leaf reading, too.

[elperromagico]

5. Yes, and let's allow the Ten Commandments in courthouses,

alongside monuments to the Torah, the Bhagavad-Gita, the Qu'ran, and every other religious text we can think of.

After all, it's just about religious freedom... right?

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Definitely! If the Ten Commandments, then the Five Pillars of Islam

[AZCat]

25. How can you neglect the Seven Stones of AzCatianizm?

All Hail the Mighty Arch of Affrontery!


Just wait 'til I get my hands on those young, impressionable minds...

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Sure! Let's toss them in as well.

I think it would be great if you radically changed them every year, too, just to keep the people hopping.

[AZCat]

28. We can do that...

It will be like the religious version of "CalvinBall".

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. LOL!

I like it!

[datasuspect]

7. why are you being intolerant?

there are rooms for all view in the klassroom.

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. He's not being intolerant.

He's using satire to ask a very serious question. Where is the line drawn?

The fact is that there isn't enough room in the day for children to learn about everyone's personal belief system.

[datasuspect]

11. I'M JOKING

if this keeps up i'm gonna put a universal disclaimer in my sig line.

[Redstone]

26. A "universal disclaimer" wouldn't be a bad idea...

There's ALWAYS someone around who doesn't get humor. And they're never shy about letting you know they don't.

Redstone

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I think he's/she's joking - note the "k" in klassroom

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. it's the KKKlassroom to you, pal!

:P

[Sporadicus]

8. What About Alchemy?

Our children aren't turning nearly enough base metal into gold, which they'll need to learn in order to pay off *'d deficits
:eyes:

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Yes, alchemy, too!!

Though all the gold goes to the church of Falwell, so that we can help keep gay people sterile and unmarried (which have been scientifically proven to be necessary in order to the keep the sanctity of marriage and of the United States itself intact)

[Zenlitened]

12. What about necromancy?

Is our children learning how to summon the spirits of the dead? :shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. No, that's evil!! That's like Harry Potter! BAD BAD BAD BAD!!!

Makes children want to touch themselves in their shameful, evil, filthy rotten parts! BAD BAD! SHAME SHAME!!

[Zenlitened]

19. Necromancer is sad.

:cry: Why does no one like Necromancer? Oh, why? :cry:

[Tom Kitten]

14. Yes we should make room for the

Hollow Earth and Flat Earth theories as well...World maps should be redrawn as to portray possible locations for Atlantis and Lemuria...as well as include the phrase "here there be monsters"...
Science classes should teach the basics of constructing the orgone accumulator as well...
L.Ron Hubbard should take his rightful place amonst the like of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein...
There is much work to be done.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Yep - throw it all on! And perpetual motion machines.

[DrGonzoLives]

30. You forgot free energy devices

n/t

[RevCheesehead]

17. Actually, I think I'd rather enjoy that.

But would it be part of the curriculum, or an elective?

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. It would all be core teaching

since it's all necessary scientific truth.

[sendero]

20. There is at least..

... some empirical basis for astrology, IMHO. Creationism? Poppycock.

Those who think astrology is total bunk, give me your birthdate (month and day) and I'll tell you who you are :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. You know, I was gonna challenge you on that one

But why start a pissing match, especailly with someone who has such nice prayer flags in the sig line.

My original declaration still stands.

[opihimoimoi]

21. No forget those pig entrails and chicken livers too

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. And I totally forgot about teaching "the music of the spheres" in music

and also that the tritone is the interval of the devil is never to be used by decent people.
