Wanting the separation of church and state is fine, but putting down others' beliefs is not acceptable.

 @9TFWSTW from Florida  commented…2yrs2Y

It's my belief that it's acceptable to put down others' beliefs. Goddamn snowflakes!

 @9S44WP5from Maine  commented…2yrs2Y

What if my belief is that for example jews are literally demons? Will you respect my religion?

 @9TJ2PWW from Missouri  commented…2yrs2Y

Who believes this? Evangelicals sure don't.

  @@1876-Elbert from Colorado  commented…2yrs2Y

They said 'what if.' Give 'em a bit of grace.

 @B6ZJHPX from Texas  commented…9mos9MO

There are quite a few denominations that talk that way about Jews and Catholics. Just because you dont see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

 @9KT9JGC from Colorado  disagreed…2yrs2Y

There is absolutely no hope for you if you don’t know Jesus. Life on earth is temporary with him though it is eternal. I am and will always be a Christian.

 @9S44WP5from Maine  disagreed…2yrs2Y

You are merely a cult member and a danger to all of us who believe in freedom from religion.

  @@1876-Elbert from Colorado  commented…2yrs2Y

No, what they are is someone who truly knows our purpose.

I pray for you, that God will put someone in your life to help you see truth.

  @@1876-Elbert from Colorado  commented…2yrs2Y

We are no threat. We, unlike some people, are not trying to force you into our ways.

 @B6ZJHPX from Texas  commented…9mos9MO

Great ... How is that relevant?

 @9KTB7VX from Florida  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I also do not think that religion should play a role in education as it is irrelevant to the overall goals of educators. However, there is no reason to disrespect people's views or religion.

 @9KT9FHN from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

It is important for children to have a basic understanding of religion. It doesn’t have to just be Christianity and there is no reason to exclude other religions but children should be given a basic overview with no bias even as simply as in a history unit

 @9KTLCTR from New Hampshire  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think allowing room for other people's beliefs and point of view is important to increase understanding for everyone.

 @9KTB38D from Nevada  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Our country was founded when religion was a large facet of human life. Although we were granted freedom from establishment of religion, some founding fathers warned against a country led by faithless leaders. If we do away with religion in our lives, what do you propose to replace it? It is important to teach our kids good, moral values.

 @9S44WP5from Maine  commented…2yrs2Y

How about replacing religious dogma with Platonic philosophy for example? No one needs abrahamic religious nonsense.

 @NationalGuy47  from Utah  disagreed…1yr1Y

religion is an important part of world history, and there is nothing wrong with like an elective or something foe people who want it. religion shouldnt be forced on to someone, but there is nothing wrong with someone who wants to learn about it be able to in school.

  @@1876-Elbert from Colorado  commented…2yrs2Y

I'm praying for you.

  @@1876-Elbert from Colorado  commented…2yrs2Y

You know something funny? I'm not mad at you. At all. I just pray that God will put someone in your life that can make you see sense.

Truly, I'm praying for you.

 @B6ZJHPX from Texas  commented…9mos9MO

If that were true, why make sure the entire internet knows how "not mad" you are?

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
