You know who teaches a literal translation of a holy book in their public schools...

The Taliban...

And we all see how well that works out now haven't we...

There really is a time and place for everything under the sun.

Teach spiritual related subjects at church or in sunday School, some might call them a Christian Madrasah, and teach earthly subject, you know science, economics, english as a language, in the public schools.

1. A religious neighbor of mine didn't like my suggestion

He thinks that time should be set aside in our public schools for bible study. I said I think time should be set aside in his church's Sunday School for teaching evolution. We don't talk much.

2. Well, being friendly with neighbors isn't always the best policy...

Remember Frost saying that a good fence brings good neighbors.

3. I got fundies to the east and fundies to the west

the ones to the east are the greatest neighbors we could possibly have, the ones to the west not so much. He's pissed off more then a few of us. So sad.

4. To everything there is a season,

a time for every purpose under the sun.
a time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
