Yikes

Not even 5 min in. Pretty impressive

Couldn’t ask for a better start

Apart from forced exposure I have trouble coming up with a valid reason for having a Bible in a classroom. And any unlikely “valid reasons” will still lead to forced exposure. Saying that kids can “ignore” whatever the Bible is used for in the class is no different than suggesting they ignore the drag queen show in the library. And again, I’m not equating the value of the two, just the action of placing both in an area where they have no reason to be.

I actually agree with a lot of this. I have no issue with Bible classes being an elective, and I think the argument that kids who choose not to take it will be ostracized is over the top. An elective allows those who want it to take it, and for those who are interested have an opportunity to learn about it. For me the issue occurs when those who are not interested are subjected to forced prayer and mandatory Bible classes. As you said, that’s not how Christianity works. Nobody should be told they can’t pray, and nobody should be told they have to.

more of an upset than the Silsbee over BR that Aggie is calling me out on. I admittedly don't know enough about either roster to get deep into talking about rosters and matchups, but Teague certainly has a better resume.

I can't even find a way to consider that an upset, even with the seeding, but I get your point. Silsbee wins handily, IMO.

alright, you got me back ;). and I think my longwinded original post can be summed up by this: the right needs to focus on sweeping changes in the areas that we all know are the reasons they got the mandate to begin with. This is a golden opportunity to fix immigration almost entirely, improve the courts and eliminate some of the woke prosecution lack of punishment nonsense, and also improve spending habits and the economy. Do that and make small, sensible changes in other areas (legislation banning males in girls' changing rooms/sports would be an easy win to start), and the right can hold power for a long time. If the right gets hung up on trying to affect major conservative morality legislation (like trying to force a bible in every classroom, for example), it could greatly backfire.

Jasper over Columbia i expect Lindale over LCM 50/50 I've picked Joaquin to beat Centerville as a 4-seed. They're a dog, but I like their chances and at least think this one is a good game. Nederland has a decent shot against Texas High. If a 3 over a 2 counts then Coldspring has a decent shot against Teague.

I feel like you're being intentionally obtuse, as Andy Dusfresne would say. The Bible is not a problem. Forcing the Bible onto public school children would be the problem, not unlike mandating tampons in the boys room or having Drag Queens reading stories to elementary students. And before you freak out, I'm not saying that the Bible is bad like your other two examples. The comparison lies in the government forcing something into public schools that a good chunk of the population is not okay with. But anyway, I've been informed that I shouldn't be lecturing (aka voicing opinions) in here because I didn't think Trump was a good candidate, so I gotta run!

gonna be a boring site if folks who didn't (and still don't) think Donald Trump was a good candidate are no longer allowed to voice an opinion on here, but you can have it your way. you guys can just read Reagan's fun propaganda pieces and backslap each other. For the record, I don't recall using the term cakewalk other than suggesting that it would be one if we had a stronger candidate, and i know I never talked about cheeks being clapped. Thankfully the left sent an even more unelectable choice than the last two elections, and things are bad enough that people wanted change. But folks thinking these elections were a referendum for the right rather than against the left are delusional. You boys have fun!

Yes on the economy and fiscal decisions, but you think Trump won and the right gained seats in the house and senate because "most Americans" are looking for high morals and integrity? Surely even you can see the irony in that statement. Trump won despite his lack of morals and integrity. The country is looking for help with the border, inflation, and crime. They're tired of being talked down to by the left. They're NOT looking for a religious revival. The voters that swung this thing are not interested in conservative morality at all, they just want to be able to afford groceries and not get mugged on their way to buy them. The quickest thing the right can do to lose this mandate is force morality on the majority of the country that doesn't agree with it or doesn't agree the govt should be regulating it. It would be typical of the right (or left, if the roles were reversed) to think that a less than 1.5% popular vote win against an entirely unelectable presidential candidate is a green light to start pushing radical legislation, though.
