Christians fight for their right to be intolerant of others

That was from God's emo period. Leave Him alone.

Honestly, the break of views on God between Testaments still bothers me. I'd like to research the topic a bit when I get the time.

Although freedom of speech is a fundamental right, it's not an absolute right. A state may still constitutionally prohibit free speech if the governmental interest is compelling enough. One way the government does this is to define places where free speech is allowed and where it isn't allowed. Free speech is generally allowed in places which are deemed "traditional public forums." This includes areas such as parks, public streets, etc.

I don't know if this rule applies to public colleges/universities, but public schools (high schools, junior high, etc.) are not a traditional public forum. Therefore free speech rights may be restricted. The rationale here is that a school does not have to tolerate student speech that is inconsistent with its educational mission, even if the state could not censor similar speech outside of the school. So if this does apply to public universities, if one of Georgia Tech's educational goals is to promote tolerance of homosexuals and prohibit discrimination against homosexuals, it may constitutionally prohibit anti-homosexual sentiments.

I have no need to learn the myth of creationism and neither does anybody else that goes to school.

Evolution, however, should be learned.

If people are interested, they will seek the info on their own. It has no place in school.

It shouldn't be legitamized by having a "place" at school. It should be a footnote like greek mythology in a history class, if that.

OH NOES! I'm persecuting people because I don't want to hear their bullshit mythology!!!

Come on guys, let's bring this thread back on track: bashing homosexuality.

Really, I don't see anything wrong with the lady putting it down, so long as it's public property, but I think people tend to think that hating the sin is the same as hating the sinner. You can be homosexual without indulging in man ass as much as you can be alcoholic without drinking. And you can be black without being a nigger.

That's pretty much Penn and Tellers stance on it too (it was an episode about the Bible, but it still fits).

What the hell are you on about?

I was thinking about this maybe creationism should be thought in school but not in the science class. but in literature class. It makes the most sense since there is no data to back this up.

I really hope some of these extremists get over trying to portray Christians as a persecuted group in America. It's one of the most staggeringly dishonest things I can think of. From one of their recent conventions:

Christophobia, or fear of Christ,

lol, never heard this term used before? Is there such a thing as Buddhophobia, or Mohommedophobia?

[Thief Silver]

Who the hell fears buddhists?

Oh also, I want the right to call someone an ugly harlet, or breastless freak, insult retarded kids without any public backlash, and if I'm slapped or smacked by any form of insult I deliver to a woman, have the right to charge with assault or some varying for of attack on myself, without taking any responsibility for deserving the attack, because it is within my constitutional right to bash.

I think if all that were set. It'd be fair, correct me if I"m someone turning this into a different scenario from what I'm reading. Cause I'm pretty sure if the homosexual attacks or slaps someone because of this, they can be charged.
