Should "Bible Classes" be taught in schools?

This was the facebook conversation between a former teacher of mine, my dad and I....


My status- OMG Chuck Norris..epic fail. No we should NOT have a "bible course" in our public schools. (face palm)



Me- we dont even have the resources to teach kids all the science and math they need to know...


Jessica- its funny, the government is like we need to concentrate on making education better, but then some first people that get laid off are teachers. it just baffles me

Me- yea I know huh!?!?


Former Teacher- Let’s see, Casey – the source of the most essential and noble Western and American values, like universal human dignity, natural rights and equality before the law; the philosophical foundation and wellspring of Western science; the greatest single source of literary inspiration, reference, allusion and turn-of-phrase in English-language literature… among other things – What possible justification could there be for including study of the Bible in school? The real scandal is how effectively the socialist ideologues of the past half-century have taken study of the Bible OUT of public schools. That such a bright and ostensibly educated young Westerner like yourself would regard study of the Bible as so contemptible illustrates how effectively they are managing to cut off contemporary Western civilization from our roots.

Me- The government has already failed at educating students math and science, I seriously doubt that a government run education system could effectively handle something as complicated as the Bible and all of its interpretations. If Mr. Norris really wanted to instill values into the future generations, he could propose a course with no agenda that focused on honesty and integrity. Honestly, I think that is how every classroom should be run, like yours, athletics, and some other classrooms at AHS. Why should we only have one class that focuses on teaching American values. Side note- I see nothing wrong with the Bible being used in an English setting to show it as a work of literature. America would run more smoothly if everyone was the same denomination of Christianity, but that is what makes us the greatest nation in to world is that we are a combination of different religions and are free to practice or not practice as we choose. As a Christian it is my duty to teach people about Jesus and as an American I stand for freedom. I incorporate these two beliefs into everyday life by living my life to show people God's love and also to realize I live in country where people are free not to accept it. Real change is brought through changing peoples' minds and hearts not through legislative action. (quote by me:)) I doubt this would ever pass (thankfully) but if it did it would bring even more people to shun away from Christianity. Its the job of parents, religious leaders, you, and I to show people God and encourage society to hold people to a higher moral standard not a government that has grown and gained so much unnecessary power. Ultimately, I think we have the same goals, which is to bring society back to God and American values, however our difference in opinion is in how it should be done. (I could be completely wrong)

My dad- Congratulations Case, you set the trap and lured a perfect example, albeit wordy and condesending, of why we don't need anyone teaching their personal religious beliefs in our schools….very tricky of you to use the opposition to prove your point.






What's yalls opinion?!?

Not Just Changing What I Do but How I think

How I view my family..
I have a really sweet mom and dad that I love so much! 
I have a 17 year old annoying pain in the butt brother- Nick, a really shy sister named Jenny who is 7 years old, My brother Carlo, who was in the border patrol that passed away 4 years ago, another 8 moth old brother, Carlitto, who is a spunky handful. 
I have a 2 year old daughter named Lilly and a 5 year old son Franky, and another 4 year old son named Rafiki who I love unconditionally. 

How the rest of the world sees my family... 
I live with my parents and one brother(Nick). They see us as a family of 4 that "owns" 2 dogs Jenny and Carlitto, 2 cats Franky and Lilly, and had a dog that was part of the Border Patrol K9 Unit and passed away 3 years ago. 

Its not that I just dont eat meat or wear fur- I perceive the world differently I love my human and non human family members the same.

Your Never Ending song

I wrote this about a year ago when I truly felt my heart shatter, not over a boy, but at the loss of a friend. Someone who can never be replaced and an incident that keeps me asking God "why", but I know He is there for all those going through heartache. Its not brilliant but it is my raw emotion at the time. It combines two events that were happening in my life simultaneously even though I did not realize it. The same weekend I was connecting with God in the Texas hills about 200miles away I lost an amazing friend.
Your Never Ending song
You soak us in Your unconditional love like you do the earth with the rain.
We hear your melody as the frogs croaks and the thunder clashes.
We see your face in the morning sun, hear all Your creation come to life around us.
Laughter of our friends all around, echoes through the hills.
You scattered stars to wink at us and a lullaby of crickets and owls to remind us You are there.
Everything can go from being amazing and then in one painful second it crashes all around.
Misery can be heard in our cries and seen in our tears.
Listen to the strain of our hearts break and the whisper of a thousand I love yous.
We wish with all our hearts that we could hold Your hand, then we remember you gave us countless hands to hold, along with a song always to be heard.
