Here’s my question. Are they going to give equal time to all religions for prayer & iconoclastic symbols? ? ? ? Indigenous People’s Religions? What about non traditional religions? ? ? ? ? ?
What about those who have no religion, are they supposed to pray?

For those who think we’re a Christian nation, we’re NOT! These people are OUT of control and must be stopped!

❤️‍🔥 In 1870, the @nytimes reported that 's President Morton "assume[d] the duties of Professor of Experimental Philosophy" and aspired to offer "a general course in natural philosophy": proquest.com/docview/92578691/

1. As a philosopher-scientist with an office in Stevens's Morton Building, 😊.
2. Who else had the title "Professor of Experimental Philosophy" pre-1900?
3. Anyone else envious of those position and course titles?

Humans working together to improve life on Earth is the only higher power I believe in.

Some incredible poetic widsom from Dr. :

"There are lots of truths... there are multiple ways of knowing, and we could benefit by engaging more of them.... Sometimes what we call conventional Western is in fact scientism. Scientism being this notion that Western science is the only way to truth. It’s a powerful way to truth, but there are other ways, too."

When Galileo observed the moons of Jupiter in 1610 he did not bring them into existence. They had existed independently of observers for billions of years.

Or if he did bring them into existence, he did so in a way that made them seem, on examination, to be billions of years old.

If, on examination, they appear in all respects to be billions of years old, then the best inference is that they are billions of years old. At least until contrary evidence shows up.

It has been said that indoctrination and education are polar opposites and absolutely incompatible.

In an ideal world, but certainly not in practice. To a large measure, education indoctrinates us into believing that our modern "scientific" picture of the world has more or less given us a correct picture of what reality is with only the details needing to be filled in. Thus, there is no God, no afterlife, no magic, no ghosts, no psi, no objective morality, no "free will", no ultimate given purpose to our lives, no colours, sounds or smells in the external world.

I surmise my "education" has been very poor since I believe in all of these things (possibly not magic, I lack sufficient information to reach a conclusion here).
