Chuck Norris wants Bible classes in public schools

I did not know about Mr. Norris' campaigning for this cause.

This is an ad speaking for "The National Council for Bible Curriculum in Public Schools" by Mr. and Mrs. Norris.

He advocates history and literature classes with the Bible as the textbook and claims that the founders of the United States "never intended for the Bible to be removed from public schools."

Now, I am all for people worshiping in whatever fashion they choose. At the same time, I am also for keeping religion out of public schools.

(I posted this in the LBN Norris/Huckabee thread but thought more people would want to see this video.)

:rofl:

for they shall possess the abs.

:rofl:

who doesn't forget to put on their pants every now and again?

I tried one once that belonged to a fundie martial arts instructor who swore by it.
To be honest, I'd rather do regular body weight exercises.

There's probably more dough in downing a TG.

:D

Everything out of his mouth since the 70s is a result of brain damage inflicted by a Bruce Lee head-kick during the making of Way of the Dragon.

Under his beard is another fist.

maybe he should stow another one elsewhere.

Hell, he's already got a thumb up there, why not go whole hog?

I look forward to seeing copies of the Koran, Torah, and other religious texts representative of the citizens of this country and their many beliefs, next to the Bible in schools.

Wiccan to decide which version (of the millions) it should be.

Why he was part of the Showdown in Odessa. I never did hear how that turned out in court.

public schools until the 1840's, so the Founders probably didn't think too much about this at all. If they did, they most likely assumed the Bible was omnipresent and generally accepted as a school text. But only insofar as the school used it. They were undoubtedly aware of Jewish and Unitarian schools that looked upon King James with a jaundiced eye.

Truth is, while the concept of "public education" started in the 1640's, until Mann's fighting for free public education as a birthright in the 1840's, most schools were private and/or church run.

None of which, of course, is relevant to 21st Century public education.

It seems quite insightful to the OP's topic

I sell cheap-ass exercise gear made in China on late night TeeVee. If it wasn't for me, what would you have laying around for your garage sale 3 years from now?

I got all this plastic surgery so I wouldn't feel like such a creepy old man standing next to my crazy fundamentalist wife. I used to be into Zen Buddhism, till I cheated on my ex-wife, made a baby, met the Bushes and lost my mind. . . . . .

:rofl: I just loves 'yer hot legs!

How about we get together for a prayer session?

An illustrated, vaguely Chinese-looking Chuck Norris bursts through his own poster, seeking vengeance on all posters for what they did to his country.\



Chuck Norris is back, on his deadliest mission yet. This time he' fighting the dual evils of Science and awful movie names.

And he's not that short, anyhow.

:evilgrin:

That bastard has a hell of a rack.

Holy Christ, check out that "Silent Rage" poster upthread.

public schools. I'm sure there are some, but I haven't met them.

These people need to be careful what they wish for. A teacher, a person of authority over children teaching the Bible. Let's say the teacher is a Christian, he or she will have beliefs regarding Bible interpretation based on their particular faith. What happens when a devout Baptist teacher's Catholic students get in the family cars after Mass pointing out some "wrong" things? And all other combinations just within the Christian faith.

I don't raise children, but if I were going to entrust someone to teach my imaginary children the Bible, they are going to be of my faith. Want your children to receive a religious education, there are many fine religious schools in this country, shell out the money and give them the education you want them to have.

boot to the head!yah yah!




Yi yi yai yi....

People talking in movie shows,
People smoking in bed!
People voting Republican,
Give them a boot to the head!

Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah yah yah.. yah. yah yah yah...




trash that bozo

They're my heroes.

he ain't that tough.

He is even worse as a political spokesperson.

Why the fuck does anybody even listen to this idiot? :mad:

sublimated, hyper-masculine homo-eroticism has a mighty, mighty pull on the right-wing.

lotsa singin' , kickin', dancin' and a-prancin', white hats, womenfolk on pedestals , and tight karate pants

And a shower room scene, no pedestals in sight.

Chuck vanished after Walker, Texas Ranger. Then a couple of years ago people started making the Chuck Norris jokes, and that's where his new found celebrity came from. He is only important now as a fixture of ironic humor.

But his religious fervor is quite inspiring. Particularly when he's doing deep bends on late night TEEVEE.

Just sayin'.

One of those early Bruce Lee kicks in that film in Italy must
have loosened more screws than the original diagnosis detected....

He competed in REAL fights for years before becoming a sad excuse for an action hero!

I guess I was wrong.:shrug:

so he can kick chuck norris' ass again.

it's called CHURCH

:eyes:

but if they wanted to make it a mandatory class that would be crazy.

Teachings, Shinto etc. taught in schools?

Ramen.

The way to get this nonsense to stop is to demand equal time. I want the teachings of Buddha taught, too. And the FSM, as well. Let us not forget the Norse gods as well.

Heh, heh.

Upon reading "He advocates history and literature classes with the Bible as the textbook and claims that the founders of the United States 'never intended for the Bible to be removed from public schools,'" my eyes rolled so far back in my head, they got stuck.

Norris - what a doofus.

Ya fuckin' martial arts rough trade, B movie meathead moron.

he look like he belongs on that new tv show about cavemen?

And he looks like he should be in "Cowboy Bear Daddies, #7."

Okay..not fair...I burst out laughing in the middle of the office with that one!! :rofl:

:D :hi:

("Office Thigh-Jinks #12")

The one that says he has no chin, but a fist behind his facial hair?

He looks kinda skinny-wussy in that pic, though...

Oh wait!!. he wants OTHER PEOPLE'S kids to have to read the bible in school... well, how republican of him...

I guess the Jewish kid's parents won't mind a bit..or the Islamic family..or the Catholic family..( yes Catholics do NOT slobber all over the Bible, or wear their fingers to a bloody stub, from tracing the lines of prose...)

I guess only right wing fundamentalist kids have rights these days, and everything in society MUST "bend to their ways".. :puke:

Why not just teach kids to READ, and then they can choose their own books to read ON THEIR OWN FREE TIME..

How? Easy. He's gotta sleep sometime.

By "bible" he means "Chuck Norris Biography", which contains how he created the universe (roundhouse kick), how he lost his virginity before his dad did, why the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris, how he counted to infinity twice, why the boogeyman checks his closet for Chuck Norris, how he does a pushup by pushing the earth down, and the details of his lawsuit with NBC over the naming one of their programs after Chuck's left and right legs (Law & Order).

The book ends by roundhouse kicking you as you read it.

This is the "bible" he wants studied in schools.

That's hilarious. Thank you. :rofl: Hadn't heard most of those yet.

and the details of his lawsuit with NBC over the naming one of their programs after Chuck's left and right legs (Law & Order)

:rofl:

B-)

the bible and not the fundamentalist.

i am not opposed in later school years, and elective, and all religions and non religions..... but interpretation is too susceptible to individual, careless, agenda driven people

:dunce:

'Cause he's terrible. Just terrible.

Unless of course they had an overriding taste for testosterone-flavored man-candy.

No need to answer; we all know how famous they are for situational ethics.

The last thing that brain scanner ever saw was his medulla oblongata doing a roundhouse kick to the viewing screen. Since then, other brain scans have refused to scan his brain on principle.

as long as they replace the word Jesus with Chuck Norris in the Bibles used in the classes.

Are lolcats advocating for burqas now?

I hope someone listens to them....

Unless they are strictly part of a high school Literature Course.

You could probably do one on the Bible; it wouldn't be proselytizing just to study it as literature. It is a pretty influential work as a work of literature. You need to know a lot about it to understand Western European Literature, because of all the references (as you need to learn Greek and Roman mythology for that purpose).

As you can see, I was an English Lit major.

But his political views stink.

and I heard he sits up front with his back facing the others behind him so he won't be recognized:eyes:

..rather than this rubbish...

Want to learn about the bible? Go to church.

Want to learn about the real world? Go to school.

Speaking as someone who is almost completely uninitiated to the Bible (some might say ignorant of the Bible), I sometimes wish I had the literary references and understood the culturals message of the Bible, just so I knew what other people were talking about.

"Worship me and no one gets hurt"

Now I'm the resident Bible "expert." I'm often surprised at the obvious Biblical references that the other students don't get.

No. No Religion of any kind in Public Schools!

Loser!

I guess that leaves the Karate schools to conduct real education.

Also what happened to Chucks' chest hair in his old movies, shaving chest does not fit the macho image.

just another hollywierdo with an agenda. the guy is a nut case, I think he believes he is as bad as his movies.

Let's teach Deism in school.

You mean founders like Thomas Jefferson who railed against Christianity, the Bible (especially with respect to mingling with public education and government) and took Thomas Paine's lead in being critical of the great monotheisms of the day? That founder?

:eyes:

The revisionism never ends.

Hey, Chuck! I still want my 6.50 back for seeing Top Dog in theatres.

And that's all I'm saying about that.

keep his Bible thumping views in his church and keep his deluded nose outta our public schools.

Mr tough guy but oh so fulla shite.

:eyes:

Walker: Texas Ranger is a crime against humanity.

"Never trust a man with a mullet..."

Eliminating it completely is a form of censorship. Even if you're not a believer, it's still a book of stories that is open to study like any other book.

Certainly comparative study of sacred texts from various religions is a good idea, though it needs to be taught later than high school.

I'll make sure to cover all the main parts as literature and then move on to the Q'uran, the Rig Vedas, and First Nations creation myths.

Then again, I'm not sure he would want me teaching a comparative religions class or the Bible as literature (the only kinds of classes we're allowed to have in the public schools). I'd actually teach the Two Greatest Commandments for Christians, the Seven Woes, and the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
