    There's no bill "proposed in Texas that mandate Bible study time." Stop the lies.

    It's mainly discussed in the liberal media. Just look at FK's list of liberal sources.

    It is discussed on the right some, pro and con. Pro in the sense of the need for a more moral government. Con in the American traditional sense of keeping government from corrupting religion.

    Excuse me?

    Did you not understand that these laws are being passed to promote religion?

    And, to you that means Christians are being targeted?

    Fascinating.

    I don't want a theocracy but this country could use a little revival
    Okay. The bible study bill doesn't require all students to attend, but it's not about "allowing students to form prayer groups," It's about the school setting aside time. In the younger grades, someone would have to read to them. That was my point.

    Christian Nationalism is a simple and straightforward concept, and it isn't especially new.

    Rutgers has a good definition.

    Q. How do we define and understand the term Christian nationalism?
    A. Christian nationalists insist that the United States was established as an explicitly Christian nation, and they believe that this close relationship between Christianity and the state needs to be protected—and in many respects restored—in order for the U.S. to fulfill its God-given destiny. Recent scholarship underscores the extent to which these efforts to secure a privileged position for Christianity in the public square often coincide with efforts to preserve the historical status quo on issues of race, gender, and sexuality. And the practical ramifications of such views involve everything from support for laws that codify specific interpretations of Christian morality, to the defense of religious displays on public property, to nativist reactions to non-white, non-Christian immigrants.

    This was posted in the previous thread on this topic to demonstrate that prayer is not mandated by the proposed bill:

    Texas pushing to have Ten Commandments, Bible study in public schools explains it:

    ...The second bill would allow the board of trustees of a school district or the governing body of an open-enrollment charter school to require all public schools under their jurisdiction to provide students and employees with an opportunity to participate in a period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious text during the school day.

    The bill does prohibit students from taking part in such prayer or Bible reading sessions unless their parent or guardian submits a signed consent form. The bill also prohibits prayer or the reading of the Bible or another religious text over a public address system.

    The prayer or Bible reading session also cannot interfere with instructional time.

    The bill additionally amends the state education code so that "encouraging" a student to engage in or refrain from prayer or meditation during a school activity would no longer be prohibited....

    Some people need to stop taking liberal media as gospel. :P

    That sounds like what the alt-right talked about. Fairly innocuous.

    As far as my readings on it go, it is innocuous. To me the number one aim of any government ought to be to serve justice and justice has very much to do with morality and Christianity is the traditional and historical source of morality in America. You don't have to be a Christian to understand this.

    Remember the Dominionists? lol
