Stan Bingham said Wednesday he doesn't see a problem.

If only the Newtown kids had this much care offered to them by the repubs..

Absentee God? Not in NC!!

It never ceases to amaze me how much my fellow Christians want to ram their philosophies down people's throats.

I have noticed that lately, the athiest and agnostics are much more anoying and ill intentioned than the Jesus freaks we used to incounter in the 70s. Certianly much more agressive and even hateful.

Bible classes were already being taught... I guess the difference is that they would count toward graduation?

Not really for either the UNC requirement nor the NC electives, but love watching each side promote and demean
