Breitbart – by Thomas D Williams, PhD
After coming under fire from atheist groups for the distribution of free Bibles, the Delta County School District (DCSD) has approved the circulation of atheistic, secular and Satanic literature to middle and high school students.
Several atheist organizations, including The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), Western Colorado Atheists and Freethinkers (WCAF) and the Satanic Temple, applied to distribute their literature as a challenge to the school district’s “open forum” policy that allows any group to distribute non-curricular literature to students, as long as it conforms to policy guidelines.
Kurt Clay, the Assistant Superintendent of the Delta School District, said if they are going to make literature for things such as Boy Scouts, 4H or other organizations available, they have to allow all types of information to be available to students.
“This is the other side of that,” explained Kurt Clay, the Assistant Superintendent. “The policy says we cannot discriminate what is handed out, we just have to follow the process.”
Certain exceptions exist, and the materials can’t advocate criminal behavior, violence or drug use, advertise commercial products, or be pornographic. The School District has appealed to this policy as a justification for distributing Gideon Bibles to students on school grounds during class hours.
In December, 2015, a Delta Middle School student complained about the offering of Gideon Bibles to students and the Western Colorado Atheist and Freethinkers said that the distribution of those bibles prompted their desire to distribute atheist material as well.
The distribution of the atheistic materials will take place on April 1, 2016. The proponents of the new materials say that they are offering Delta students an alternative way of thinking.
Some of the brochures to be offered to students include “Top 10 Public School State-Church Violations and How to Stop Them,” “What’s Wrong with the Ten Commandments?” and “The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities.”
Ann Landman with the Western Colorado Atheist and Freethinkers says the issue in play here is freedom of speech.
“Students are not only getting a lesson about the federal laws and our constitution, but also a different point of view that you can find around the world,” Landman contended.
But Western Colorado Atheist and Freethinkers have said that what they are really after is a change of policy, to separate religion and schools, and believe that by handing out provocative literature they will achieve this end.
The Delta School District has already stated that they are looking into revising their policy to continue providing materials that benefit students, but do not include material on religion or beliefs.
THIS IS WHERE THE RAPING OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS STARTED. WHEN PEOPLE BEGAN USING THE LAW AGAINST US. IT WAS OUR OWN FAULT.WE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN…. NOT ENOUGH FINGER POINTING, HELL RAISING,AND BALL BATS
“The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities.”
Their agenda is unmistakable.
Expect a whole lot more of this insanity in short order.
EVIL ABOUNDS!!!
The ironic thing is that in America at least, most self-proclaimed Christians are more Satanic and less Christlike than actual Satanists (most of whom are really only hedonistic atheists who enjoy Halloween-type imagery and view Satan as a symbol of rebellion).
Seriously, what is Christian about the behavior of most American “Christians”? They ignore the words of Jesus in just about every way imaginable:
** Jesus said, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone at her.” Had that story occurred in modern American, that woman would have been buried under stones within seconds. And she was an adultress. Most “Christians” today, especially the “conservative” types, are perfectly content to imprison people and ruin lives over vices that aren’t nearly as grave as adultery. They are oblivious to their own hypocrisy.
** They ignore or show contempt for the poor. When they do donate to charity, it’s often not out of pity, but to score points with God.
** Rather than visiting prisoners, US “Christians” often mock them and laugh at their suffering.
** Adultery is very common, and fornication is almost universal.
** They have no mercy for the people whose lands their government is bombing, invading, and terrorizing.
** A very large number, possibly a majority, support torture.
** They worship the US flag as a cloth idol, and they revere the military more than God Himself. Which do you think would generate more outrage in America today: openly insulting God, or openly insulting the military?
** They support Israeli atrocities toward the Palestinians and others in that region — many of whom are themselves Christian. They insist that God commands them to support Israel, even though the New Testament makes it clear that “Abraham’s children” are NOT necessarily those who are physically descended from Abraham, but those who obey God. Jesus told the Jewish leaders of his time that their father was the Devil, even though they were descended from Abraham.
The list goes on, but this is enough for now. Americans today follow Christ about as much as they care about the Bill of Rights. I don’t claim to be a Christian myself (at least not a good one), but I’ve read the Bible enough to know what it teaches. On the whole, US Christians get a failing grade.
