:lol (to slwr)
And yes, I know what the bible belt is. But you can’t honestly argue that more and more people are turning away from the church. This society, here in the US, is going down the drain. Quick. At least in my opinion. But, again, my opinion is that of a religious person…so perhaps to a non-religious person such as yourself…you don’t see it the same way I do.
Anyway…I don’t feel like getting into a 10 page thread with ya’ll. People can believe whatever they want to believe…but this principal in the news store is a freakin idiot. I will end with this:
I love how the school board of education and the principal say that the song is too adult like for these children. Yet, here are some of the lyrics to “Baby” by the Biebs:
“When I was 13, I had my first love,
There was nobody that compared to my baby
and nobody came between us or could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh, I was star-struck,
she woke me up daily, don’t need no Starbucks.
She made my heart pound, it skipped a beat when I see her in the street and
at school on the playground but I really wanna see her on the weekend.
She knows she got me dazing cause she was so amazing
and now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying…”
Really? Buncha elementary kids listening to that is more appropriate than them listening to this:
“And I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t forget the ones who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.”
I never said that a non religious person is a “better” person. As far as I’m concerned some of the most stand up individuals I know are believers and it overall makes you a better person.
Which is exactly why an atheist will have no shot at an oval office.
If you think religion is being forgotten you just need to move further South.
