You probably wouldn't. But the fact is that the Russian Orthodox Church has
been around a lot longer than the Communists and never lost it's influence,
although the Communists tried to suppress it.

Well, that isn't true. Communist countries tend to be a little short on
"culture dominated by some religion", for example.
Well, actually it is true. The Soviets waited for the last generation of
Russian Orthodox believers and Jews to die out. They never did. If you wanted
the government off of your back, you hid you religious views. Once retired,
people were a little bolder about returning to church services. China is pretty
much the same. Even Mao was influenced by Confucius and Buddha.I think the Pope
also received a welcome in Cuba just recently.
I would hardly call underground and behind-closed-doors following of one's
personal religious beliefs to result in, your own words, "a culture dominated
by some religion". From: "awoelflebater@... [FairfieldLife]"

Voting for anyone else other than Trump is a vote for Hillary! What makes you
think I can't accept it if she's elected? I think she's got a slightly better

certainly won't trust her on anything nor will I believe anything she says.
She's a proven liar and belongs in jail.
Funny, that's exactly what I think of Trump. He's a pathological liar and
clinically insane as well.
Your *school system* is broken, thanks to the teachers unions. "You can't fire
us! This is *my* J-O-B!"
I think it's the Muslims and refugees who have caused any problems we have with
our school systems. Surely you know this.
Parents should have the right to send their kids to the schools of their
choice and the tax dollars that support their education should follow them to
the school of their choice.
You have a real and irrational fear of *Christianity*. What are you, a
Christphobe?
I doubt Ollie is a "Christphobe" (interesting made up word there). He seems
much more phobic of narrow minded holier-than-thou imbeciles who claim they are
born again and Christ loving. But he, of course, can speak for himself.
Where would you rather live, in a Christian dominated society or a Muslim
society?
Neither. I'm not a fan of any religion because religious zealot tend to be a
pain in the ass.
Seems like too many Muslims want to get out of the countries they live in.
Wonder why. The problem is, that they want to bring the very source of their
misery with them and spread it to everyone else.
Have you eaten your Cheerios today, Mike? Your brain seems a tad foggy. Muslim
refugees and those seeking a better or different life hardly choose to bring
the blood and mayhem with them. It isn't about fleeing religion it's more about
trying to escape bloodthirsty mad men intent on killing people.
You seem to think that all of the problems in the middle east are Christian
based, caused by *Christian* countries, interfering with them, when the fact
is that European countries have kept Arabs from destroying themselves. As I
said in an earlier post, most of these countries don't even identify as being
*christian*. They identify as being *liberal secular* societies.
I don't even know where to begin with this. Go eat your cereal.

I am not saying vote for Hillary, just that you might as well accept reality
when she is elected. I have several generations of public school teachers in my
family, so I advocate working within the existing system. I think the voucher
programs are a crock, and a mask for a radical christian in name only agenda.

School vouchers is true freedom of choice. I could care less if it would fund
religious schools.

So support those who are elected, including President Hillary Clinton in
November. But you won't. There will be excuse after excuse after excuse to
continue to wage your culture war on the US. None of the religious right wing
were this hard on Bush, who started two wars and nearly bankrupted the country,
but he was a rich white guy, who said he "spoke directly to God", so, wink wink
nudge nudge, eh?
Do your research on school vouchers, etc. Nothing more than racism disguised as
"choice", and skewed heavily in favor of Christian in name only schools.

School choice is code for going to the school of your choice for you child's
betterment. It doesn't have to be a religious school although that could be *a*
choice.So much for *Pro-Choice*.
the reality is that you people arefundamentalist dictators, who really don't
understand the form ofgovernment we have here. It is called a democracy
No, we don't live in a *democracy*. We live in a Constitutional Democratic
Republic. The founding fathers knew the idiocy of a democracy. Republics
democratically elect, officers to represent the people and hopefully their best
interests.

"School choice" is simply a code word from the racist religious wing nuts to
stop funding the Department of Education, in favor of private "Christian"
schools that deny science, in favor of hallucinogenic evangelism.
No Thank You.

Too many young people face toxic levels of stress and trauma in theirlives —
and attend schools that are breeding grounds of tension andviolence. The
result? An epidemic of anxiety, depression, substanceabuse, sleep deprivation,
and declining academic performance...
