And shit like this exactly is why religion needs to be kept out of school. If someone is curious, they can learn about it on their own, it's a decision best made once more mentally developed, anyways. Don't indoctrinate children with your bullshit, especially if the teachers are clearly not able to keep their own shit out of it.

Her attorney said Monique is just a "normal Bible-believing Christian."

That's an admission of guilt, not a legal defense! O.o

I disagree. If any of those "bible believing christians" had actually read the bible they'd know to be full of shit.

The American cults are truly fascinating as they managed to create the stronges gap between staun fundamentalist religious belief claims and a comical lack of actual scripture knowledge.

It shouldnt be considered a religion but a radical ideology with loose association to Christian symbolism but no actual connection to christianity.

It is truly amazing how some people claim to be incredibly firm believers in this or that religion and then it turns out they know almost nothing about the true principles and history. Like these people lately who have been saying Jesus's teachings were 'too liberal'. WTF, I know it's how they do it, but you're not suppose to just pick and choose.
