It would have saved ME a whole lot of pain and heartache in my early 20's, I can tell ya that :wink: . But alas, I had to learn character building and maturity the same as everyone else--slowly, surely, and through my mistakes and experiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961553 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:16:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 961553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scotchbonnet: Yes they can. A friend of mine was apart of Christian Crusaders club at his HS. This was also the same pal that was arrested for having pot in his car while in college. So the Bible doesn't stop people from breaking the law. Hmm I'm starting to feel at least vindicated in my thoughts at least. I A agree I should not have posted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961551 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:12:05 +0000 Dandelion 961551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have said anything, cause I don't comment on stuff like that unless it says something really hateful towards a person or group of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961550 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:11:15 +0000 scotchbonnet 961550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just ignore the post. But on a slightly different topic of Bibles in schools, kids CAN read the Bible in school. Kids can form bible clubs, have programs, whatever. We did that in my high school because it falls under "after school club." You just need a teacher/faculty to be willing to supervise. We put on programmes, met after school, did all kinds of cool things as a club, and it was open to any students who wanted to come check it out. It was fun to have that space with like-minded as a Christian teenager in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961546 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:03:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 961546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I usually don't comment at all. I'm such a FB lurker well because I try to live by "don't start no stuff, won't be no stuff." And even casual FB friends and IRL peeps I know. I guess I am feeling a bit embarassed too that I commented. So low of me. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961542 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:56:12 +0000 cmomma17 961542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with you, but I just wouldn't have commented on Facebook. An in person debate maybe, but not online.<br /> There are many images and opinions on Facebook I have to ignore! I wish people were only allowed to share personal photos of their family and pets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961516 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 04:25:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 961516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: @zippylef: you guys bring up good points about the Bible creating solely law abiding citizens. The entire picture I was just ludacris. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961461 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:54:34 +0000 Ginabean3 961461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would comment. I disagree with her statement but I'm a pretty passive FB user...just like to look at cute pix of kids and pets of friends and acquaintances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961426 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:11:13 +0000 MamaJ 961426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't have said anything because I'm a wimp. Of probably point if out to DH and he would probably comment because he is kind of a "Facebook troll". If she said it in front of me I would state my feelings though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961414 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:52:30 +0000 loveisstrange 961414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A) Statements like that make my blood boil. I wouldnt hesitate to go after a public school that tried to indoctrinate my kid. What faith my child is is MY business. </p> <p>B) Yes, I would have said something. I probably would have been less civil about it too. </p> <p>Also, does she realize how many of the truly vile, sick, serial killer type criminals were Christians? For real, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Berkowitz, Andrea Yates, BTK, etc. A lot of the most depraved, prolific ones were all strictly Christian and even fundamentalist and killed "in the name of God". So the Bible = less crime thing is truly a sack of BS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961396 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:33:50 +0000 Ree723 961396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm, yes, I most definitely would have commented. Statements like that are ludicrous and have no basis in reality, so I therefore have no qualms about calling people out on it.</p> <p>I don't know exactly how I would have worded my comment but it would have been something along the lines of there being no place for the bible to be taught in our public schools. People of all faiths attend public schools and to teach the religious beliefs of one group, to the exclusion of others, is not only discriminatory, but it also flies in the face of religious freedom. If a parent feels their child should be taught the lessons of the bible in school, then they have the freedom to enroll them in a school that caters to their religious denomination, but it is absolutely not ok to force religious beliefs upon all other children who may, or may not, hold the same beliefs.</p> <p>I also think it's ludicrous to believe that if people were exposed to the bible in their youth, they would avoid a life of crime. There are so many social factors that lead one to criminal behavior that I find it very hard to believe a few minutes of bible study every day in school would override everything else. I also don't think the bible is exactly a model of the way we should treat others......but that might be leading in to a whole different topic so I'll leave it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961224 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:24:48 +0000 lilteacherbee 961224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: Exactly. My husband teaches 3rd grade and they just cut their music and art teachers, so the regular teachers are now required to cover those as well. Crazy!</p> <p>My view as a Christian is that you can't teach the Bible without also teaching about other religions. Since that generally isn't possible, it's not going to work.</p> <p>I see these things on fb as well and I try to ignore them because they annoy me and it usually just turns into a big argument between the people who comment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961219 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:21:46 +0000 dolphin 961219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't comment. If she had said it in front of me I would tell her how I feel but if its on fb, I'd ignore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961217 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:21:06 +0000 ElbieKay 961217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OP, I share your opinion but I would not bother to say anything. I don't think it's possible to win an argument like that so it's not worth the time/effort/social capital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961213 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:20:12 +0000 meganmp 961213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had to teach religion on top of everything else, people would have even more to complain about, because I would have EVEN LESS TIME to teach reading, writing, math, social studies, science, health, and (god forbid) art.</p> <p>EDIT: I didn't answer the question. I think I would have said something, but only because I'm a teacher. I'm not sure if I would have otherwise, but I get pretty feisty (read: a bitch) when it comes to stuff like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961201 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:15:17 +0000 swedishfish 961201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: haha I definitely do not have a bible in the 200s of my library.</p> <p>I agree, public schools should have nothing to do with religion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961155 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:57:31 +0000 Maysprout 961155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't comment, I've noticed thankfully that most politicial FB posts are ignored by people on my feed and no one comments, I've just never seen a constructive FB conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961127 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:47:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 961127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: No, the picture and caption implied the Bible should be taught = endorsed and reinforced in school. Not just accessing it at the school library like @mrsbookworm: mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961106 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:38:47 +0000 mlm2934 961106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ignore things that people share. I don't see any reason to get into it with people I know IRL online, but I'm pretty non-confrontational and mild mannered in my extended social circle anyways :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961104 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:37:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 961104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, if this is about allowing bibles in schools: I think students should be free to pray and read bible in school (as long as it doesn't interrupt with classes). That is a freedom. Just as anyone could bring a Quran or the like. It's a fundamental liberty to practice faith without oppression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961080 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:28:27 +0000 mrsbookworm 961080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's always sticky with religion. I totally agree with you but I'm usually to chicken to say anything. I feel like you won't do much to put a dent in her opinion anyway.<br /> I always tell people there's usually a Bible in a public school in the religion section of the library. And as a school librarian, I can tell you no one ever checks it out!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fb-is-gonna-be-the-death-of-me-#post-961033 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:13:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 961033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A FB friend aka friendly sister in law of DH's bff shared a pic of a prisoner in his jail cell reading the Bible. The caption was something to the effect of "Bibles are allowed in prison and if they were allowed in schools he probably wouldn't have ended up in jail."</p> <p>Really!?</p> <p>My knee jerk response was something like 'school is for reading, writing, and arithmetic and parents should instill faith.'</p> <p>I really do not like religion in public school because there is always a group left out. Teach it, don't preach it. </p> <p>Anyway she responded that 'God should be with us always, teachers aren't even doing a great job educating and what she does for her daughter is okay and what I do with mine is my business. ' </p> <p>I actually agree with most of her comment, but when you start saying you want kids reading the Bible in public school that affects my kid and that's not cool. In fact I want to "like" her comment, but detail the part I disagree with. Since that would be awkward I'm commenting here. LOL</p> <p>First, let me ask would you have even commented?<br /> Second, do you think I am thinking about this too much? She is really lovely and I don't want things to be weird IRL. </p>
