Quite so, for a long while we have been discussing whether or not the fact that their MIGHT be a large percentage of Christian teachers in public schools and whether that is a reason for not having Chaplains.... You say yes , i say it has nothing to do with it. I never understood why you went...

I suppose for me I just dont feel that the above is the reason for the argument against Chaplains. Public Schools are secular. Religious counsel/support can be sought outside of school. My argument is why pay someone for something uneccessary. Particularly when it could be seen as discriminatory.

Lol!!! Oh sad , but sadly often true :)

Look mate Im sorry , but you are arguing that Christian teachers are theoretically able to provide religious counsel to their Christian students. There is not any point insofar as i can see , why you should argue such a thing. It is theoretically possible...for many things to be. If a student...

I dont think it is to be expected or even likely that a Christian teacher will offer religious 'support' to a Christian pupil. Its a little like saying a teacher who is a tennis player will offer 'support' to all tennis players in his class. Its conceivable that the shared hobby might come up...

Moral of the story : don't send your kids to a public school if you want them to have a religious education.:D

True that. It was just the first example to come to mind... Also i wasnt even referring to climate change itself , rather to what is fueling it...but anyway :) It wasnt the point.

Yes. I was under the impression that Exphate was determined to see me hold a different position to the one he holds , when i did not believe this to be the case.

Do i need to? Teachers in public schools are not employed for their religious beliefs and should not be depended upon nor expected to give religious instruction. It is not their responsibility. That was my point. Whether they hold Christian beliefs or not does not really interest me.

Yeah i know Slidey :) I was saying that humans have a tendency to suppose that if significant numbers of people believe 'it' ('it' being almost anything) , 'it' is likely true.

Looooove the Olympics. Want to go next time.

Age of the universe is thought to be about 13.7 billion years i think, not trillions....sorry if you were trying to be more figurative that factual...still , thats a pretty big jump :)

Religious people arent the only ones that appear to work on that supposition. Lol , its like that retard on ABC saying that 'everyone knows climate change is due to xyz'. People DO tend to accept what they hear is majority consensus.

I really dont know what you are arguing...but i suspect it is a strawman....

My user name...lol fools me everytime.

Yes, i definately want it to be true :) I dont really have an explanation for some things...what i was meaning was that i am sure someone could come up with an argument. I actually think that someone could come up with an explanation for 'water turning into wine'...if they really wanted to :(

Well , yes , exactly- that is what i was saying. Muslim extremists die for their cause readily.

tbh ( i will be with you)I wouldnt know what consituted a miracle , for sure , there are things that have happened in my life that I have atrributed to God, and say ,in my mothers life....but i think someone could find an argument or explanation..does that make sense?

That example doesnt QUITE cut it for me Enteebee , a moment is different to a life lived very dangerously with a threat of death ever present. Hence my own comment about suicide bombers.

You'd have to read up on it.
