those of you that hate religion, have shown hate for this little girl who on her own time chose to read the bible. Its perfectly legal for her to do so. The teacher was wrong and the hate i see for a little girl who chose to read the bible sickens me. I thought liberals backed the idea of freedom. Guess they do unless its a little girl on her own time reading a book that is not illegal or violates school policy.
this thread has shown me how the atheists use hate.
I see no 'hatred of religion' in this thread. Nor any 'hatred' directed at the child. I do see some expressing concern about a 7 year old reading a Bible on her own. But, since we don't know if this is a standard Bible or a children's Bible, I'm not really fussed about that. Yes, the teacher was wrong and has been told that she was wrong. Nor have I seen much difference in the way the atheists here (which ones are they, BTW?) are reacting than the way the Christians (and who are the Christians in this thread?) have reacted. Unless the Atheists and Christians or anyone of other religions actually identify themselves as such in their postings, I think maybe you are labeling based only on your own impressions of the words being used in the postings. Calm down a bit - we're all simply discussing the various issues inherent in the story of this.

there have been posts attacking the child's mother , the bible as a book and the child's ability to understand. All those arguments are wrong. They show about the attitude the posters have about the mother the child and the bible. Child did nothing wrong
Mother did nothing wrong
teacher and principle did do something wrong

I was actually agreeing with you until the last point. It was the teacher who did something wrong, not the principal. When the principle was apprised of the situation he told the teacher she was wrong and apologized to the child's mother. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I would classify expressing concern for the ability of the child to understand some parts of the Bible could be called an attack, either.

The principle backed the teacher, the mother had to go to theuperintendent . The superintendent knew the teacher and principle were wrong and then told them to apologize

I'm not saying you're wrong, but where did you find that information? Because it is not in the article available at the link in the first post.
No, child. I ask because I've actually read the Bible and studied the Bible and would NEVER let that book get in the the hands of a 7 year old without proper guidance.
Let's have an adult conversation without jumping to false conclusions. Now, answer the question or move along.
Oh yes let's have an adult conversation, child.
There are many different versions of the Bible. Perhaps she was reading a child's version or perhaps a more up to date one. If you really had any clue about the Bible you would know this but again I have seen enough of your posts on this topic to know that you have no desire to have an intelligent conversation about it. You want to slam it.

"..up to date one"??? How do you get an "up to date" version of God's word? Who has the authority to do that?
