You claimed atheism and evolutionism (evolution) are religions. You offered no sources which validates thoses Claims.

And yes, they would both fith that. They hold with ardor and faith the principle that there is no God and that Evolution occurs.

You obviously don't understand logic or the scientific method.


Atheists have no reason to believe in god. Do you believe in Unicorns, leprechauns, and garden gnomes? If not, does that make your disbelief in with regards to unicorns, leprechauns, and garden gnomes a religion?

Arguing god doesn't exist is chasing orbiting teapots. Having no reason to believe god exists is simple logic because there is on proof, aka objective evidence, that god exists.


If you're that disconnected with science and the scientific method I suggest you cancel all visits to any doctor, stop taking any kind of medication, and quit using virtually any piece of technology invented over the past 30 years. Kiss your computer good-bye, it was designed and built on scientific principles.

Correct. There was nothing brave about this. The kid exposed himself as just another hypocrite "Christian" who love to pray to the world, but knows very little about the man they profess to worship.

It's very likely you know nothing about the depth of the young man's theological knowledge. If that's the case then your post is just an expression of prejudice.:cool:
 
It's not the schools place to dictate what a student's speech includes or excludes, especially one on his way out who doesn't give a **** about what the school thinks.

So you see a short video and you already know exactly what the kid does and doesn't know? I've gotta get what you have to have this kind of knowledge.

No. My point was the opposite. On the basis of the short video no one can know. I'm not the one making claims. I'm just pointing out that claims without evidence are prejudice.:cool:

And I fall victim to not reading all 107 pages. :doh
 
108 pages and the basic facts havent changed

The school has every right to censor, limit or not allow a privileged speech that is given at a school function.

now with that said people can debate thier opinions all they want about whether the kid did a good thing, bad thing etc etc but if the facts wont change.

also there is still ZERO proof the school censored anything.

lol....It doesn't require knowing the depth of his theological knowledge to see by his actions that he knows very little about the man he claims to worship. The fact that he felt the need to make a scene at the graduation by praying in public shows that he is exactly the type of Pharisee that Christ was talking about. The fact that he thinks that you can lie and be "Christian" at the same time shows that he doesn't understand that Christ would not support such activity.
 
Deception is never good. :no:
