Putting God back into schools.

[DuckforcoveR]

I got the idea from this article

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles...valde.html

Since God left the building, we've seen an uptick in violence and shootings.

I'm not much of a church-goer myself, never have been, but I think that having a moral compass that isn't based on whats trending on Facebook or Twitter would be a good start to eliminating so much violence.

Your thoughts?

The idea of God has killed more people than mankind has. So yeah, F that. Let's start over.

That was probably part of the argument that got God removed in the first place and look at where we are.

Masturbation training is okay.

10 Commandments banned.

I mean, 10 commandments have historically been an utter failure if we really want to start with stats. 

I don't need a God to be a good person with a moral compass. Kids don't need to be indoctrinated with ancient history ramblings of crazy people to be raised well.

Like any rules, the Ten Commandments only work when people apply them. So then, if they are an "utter failure", one only need look into a mirror rather than at the rules which are not being employed.

If kids are not "indoctrinated" with history, they are doomed to repeat it. That has been well established for generations now, and yet we still learn nothing from that simple observation.

Religion does not provide a moral compass, it provides the anchor point, the orientation for that moral compass. Without an anchor point, that moral compass can point in any direction. So, you are correct, you don't need a god to have a moral compass, you only need one to figure out what that compass is pointing TO, which direction your morals lie in. Without it, everyone's moral compass points in any random direction, differing from individual to individual.

In that case, there is then no objective "right" or "wrong", anything goes as that individual sees fit - it's "moral" to him, as that is the direction his moral compass is pointing.

That can make even slaughtering a room full of school kids a "moral" act, to that individual. And, with no objective right or wrong, no one can contest his "morality".

I should have clarified my history comment, it was religious history. Not history in general. 

And while I disagree with the anchor comment, I respect anyone's opinion that needs a God or doctrine to provide said anchor. I just personally don't think it's needed, and think it's done more harm throughout history than we like to admit.
