I would argue that the "headmaster" of that "Christian school" has continuous outrage if a multi-colored birthday cake angers him/her to the point of expelling the student who was the recipient of that birthday cake.

I am a Christian and that is a lie. God said that same sex conduct in any sexual way is a sin. Not a multi colored cake.

P.S. The blanket statements about these schools giving bad educations sounds just like the right wingers slamming all public schools. Here is an opportunity to be smarter\better than knee jerk political dogma.


I would be suspect of the quality of science taught at this school if they use the bible as their scientific source.

Exactly! And this school is an example of why people are falling off the religion wagon by the droves!

Actually the school did say they expelled her due to her social media post of a picture of her with a rainbow colored cake.

Quote:
Alford said someone shared the Facebook photo with Whitefield Academy officials.

In the email, Alford said Jacobson wrote that the picture "demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs” and follows two years of "lifestyle violations."

The rainbow flag often is used as a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and ***** pride and support for LGBTQ rights.

I don’t think any of you really give a crap about this child or her outcome. This thread topic is just a handy conveyance device for a good old-fashioned God good/God bad argument. Gee, how refreshing.

The Bible's God also says that:

-Deformed People Cannot Approach God (Leviticus 21:18-21)

-Non-Virgins Are To Be Stoned (Deuteronomy 22: 20-21)

-Giving Birth To A Daughter Makes You Unclean For 66 Days (Leviticus 12:5)

-If You Disobey God, You Will Eat Your Babies (Leviticus 26:27-30)

-No child born to an unmarried mother May Enter The Church (Deuteronomy 23:2)

-Men With Wounded or Missing Male Parts Are Not Allowed in Church (Deuteronomy 23:1)

-Women Must Cover Their Hair During Prayer (1 Corinthians 11:5)


Just to name a few.....

A kind gesture after committing world wide genocide indeed.
