    I've heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah

    Yes, it's very vague and ambiguous when a poem explicitly says Jesus about ten times, ends with, "Bring God back into schools," and is about a tragedy that occurred in a country where the debate of "religion vs. secularism" in schools happens on a daily basis, is violated very often, and is enough of an issue to warrant this entire thread.
    This person sets a fine example of how politically correct we should all strive to be, and how we should make a point to tell people how offended we are every time we're offended. If we all did this, then no one would ever say or do anything again and then we wouldn't be offended anymore.

    "Politically correct," yes, that's definitely what I'm called on a daily basis.

    If you're holding up the Westboro Baptist Church as being representative of Christians then you don't know who Christians are.

    Most "Christians" do not know who Christians are. I spent many years in the various branches of organized Christianity. All I found were buildings full of like-minded overzealous hypocrites who occasionally spoke in tongues or held firm to beliefs that they, themselves did not follow. Who outcast those who were different. Who cast more shame and judgement than I have ever found OUTSIDE those cross adorned walls.

    Saw this on Facebook and shared... I love it! Keep CHRIST in Christmas! And also get him back in the Schools!!!

    Christmas started as a pagan holiday

    christmas actually has NOTHING to do with christ

    did you know that?

    I'm an atheist, but I disagree with you. Christmas has everything to do with Christ to people who choose to celebrate it that way. To me, it has nothing to do with Christ. It doesn't matter that it used to be a pagan holiday.

    ETA: Trying to make someone else celebrate it your way is not ok.

    Actually no.

    http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/tracts/tract3.html
    http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/Christmas_TheRealStory.htm

    The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.

    The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.

    The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.

    The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!

    In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.



    As for the OP... Yeah... this shouldn't be on the main forum... sorry but I do not think it is good.

    People are being extra mean today.

    This is beautiful.

    No. People are taking rightful offense at how dismissive this poem is. It's implicitly saying this tragedy would not have happened if "God was in schools." Oh, now we're in a "divisive" topic, forbidden on main MFP forums, which every person who's said, "This is great," should very well know. Plus, you know, this is essentially political, as well, because of the First Amendment, the Treaty of Tripoli, and all other precedents that highlight the separation of church and state in the US... that's a divisive topic, too.

    I've said my peace. Return to menus plz. I am a food voyeur.

    Joo naughty naughty Food Voyeur you. :bigsmile:

    Not sure which war it came from. It is said: THERE ARE NO ATHEISTS IN FOX HOLES....and yes I am yelling!

    There are atheist soldiers. And they are just as dignified as the religious ones. Google "atheists in foxholes" and take a look at the 2nd hit to read more about some of these soldiers and their experiences.

    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you to a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    I just saw Leonard Cohen a few weeks ago and it was a sexual experience.

    Why is it that this can't be shared? the people who like it can like and those who don't, don't? It may be religous and it may not, those who find the main theme godly can either like or not like it. There seems to be a constant theme that no one wants someone else to tell them how to feel or think so can't we just let it go and the people who like this can like it and those who don't can move on to the next topic that pisses them off? I get that some don't have anything better to do but if you believe in god or not you may like this and it should be shared if you do. If you don't like it just keep on moving! I don't understand why this is considered offensive and people shout it out loud, yet most of those shout outs are pretty rude and offensive!

    People can only be offended if they choose to be offended. Fact of the matter is some people just can't handle the fact that others may have a different opinion than them. Lets try something new. IF YOU DON"T LIKE A POST MOVE ON TO ONE YOU LIKE. Then no one can be offended.
