Actually I not real okay religion being forced on students . I just think when Christians force people to listen to them. It's way worse then Muhammed Ali not forcing students to come and watch him. Now if Muhammed Ali or the school forced the students to listen to him. Then I would have a problem with that.

I have already told you that it was not an optional assembly for me when I was a student. I had to sit there in a public school and was proselytized to by Muhammad Ali. However, you're trying to claim it's worse when Christians do it than when anyone else does? Really? Hmm...

I'm thinking when you went to school people discussing religion was legal. Kids have rights now, they don't have to listen to a Muslim speaker if they don't want to. If you weren't allowed to walk out and didn't sue. It's really not my concern.

I don't know what those symbols mean. I offered scientific reports from scientific sources. If you don't like them, a more intelligent response would be to present scientific evidence refuting what I posted.

No. It was not legal back when I was in school either. We've had this separation of church and state thing for a while. What I don't understand is why you keep responding to me to argue about it and making it seem like you're totally fine with that occurring- as long as it is anyone else besides a Christian doing it.

P.S. Oh I seem to remember that tl dr means too long dear. Too long for you. Some have been very happy to get the information. It takes a long time to break through prejudices and faulty paradigms, btw. This I know from personal experience.

His arrogant style was repulsive to me.
I never even heard about his arrogant styles until he died. All I ever seen of him was after he had Parkinson.

Actually. I rather not have any religion of any kind in school. But if you didn't walk out. That's on you. If you couldn't walk out, then you could have sued the school and choose not too. That's on you. But ever religion seems to bug people about their religion, Not just Ali.

I was thirteen. Also- no- every religious person actually doesn't bug everyone about their religion. Having been a teacher- it was a rare occurrence for me to ever see students doing so amongst their peers either. Again- you're trying to make this about other people- and that isn't the topic.

It would take about 5 minutes to read. Stretch you mind. See if you can refute scientific evidence for the Messiah. What if you're missing out on something, or I should say Someone?

Here is something off topic too: There is an Almighty and He loves you and wants you to know and love Him too. And it's not Allah.

I don't know what 'usually' is, but when I was in high school, the Power Team came and lifted weights for Jesus at a mandatory assembly. 30 years later, they're still in business.

I remember we had those guys show up at our school when I was younger. I don't remember them distinctly proselytizing...I remember them referring to their own faith, but not specifically trying to necessarily recruit anyone.

Perhaps court rulings and laws have made them revise their act? When I was in school and they came in, it was probably some time in the mid-late 90's.

I think the real irony of their act, is that they spent nearly 75% of their time teaching on the dangers of drug use...now looking back on it, there's a few of those guys who I bet wouldn't have passed a drug test...or at the very least, were on the gear at some point in their power lifting careers.

I noticed someone above posting a rather long piece all about being a Moslem. Somehow I fail to see how that is not OT, as you say. It seems two people on this string are complaining about information being presented about one faith only.

This is a Christian website. Did you notice that?

You're invited to insult the legacy of a dead man. Post here! Show proof!
In Jesus name?
Wow...then you aren't much of a Christian..people who insult a dead man because of a holier than thou complex have something wrong with them.

P.S. I was glancing over this string and noticed more off topic areas which you didn't feel any need to make complaints about. Not only was there the long, glowing description of why one person loves Islam, some people are also talking about unpleasant religious indoctrination in schools, some are debating about whether or not someone can insult the dead, etc. Why is it that those topics don't cause you any problems but you want to restrict the topic of the One that this website is to honor? Rhetorical Q but one perhaps that it would be good for you to ponder.

Is there something wrong with them if they dont have the holier than thou complex yet still insult the dead?

You're right. I'm not much of a Christian. Thank you.
