Is it right to Pray in Public Schools? President Trump announcement

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvS1ShJrs6o&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0Fsz3o5fHETMzx0IVxokju2c5P9J2ln0TCgDHJ1xBI9fBp9biUjxL1Ou4

Mathew 6:6 "But when you pray, go into your (closet) room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."Praying should be in private, or in special praying places. School is for learning, work is for work, and the worship places are for worship. The constitution allowed the freedom of religion or the freedom of having no religion and that is what makes America Great! Religion should be in the heart not in public. Expressing religion in public to others soon will cause favoritism and make the majority force their religion on the minority. Believe me, I was there. Imagine being a minority living in a predominantly ISIS or Taliban society! How would you feel about shutting down workplaces, roads, and streets for praying? It happens every day in countries with a dominant religion since most people must go to pray at the same time. How would you feel about being treated based on your religion or belief, since it would be declared? There is over a1000 populous religion in the world, each is followed by millions or billions and there are 1000s of non-populous religions. Most of these religions contradict each other and claim the ownership of the real one god or gods. Expressing religion may suit a closed or tribal society but not a diverse multi-cultural multi-social society like the U.S. Expressing religion may sound like freedom but it will definitely lead to frictions and tribalism because we cannot accommodate thousands of contradicting beliefs but Peace, Love, and Humanity can do

Does Ethics Mean Religions?

It is a misconception to assume religions are the defenders of ethics and that Evolutionists or Scientists have no ethics. Ethics are simply what we know as humanity or the golden rule; Do to others what you want to be done to you including animals. Ethics for some societies and religions are totally opposite to others like in the middle east and the west. You could be murdered for doing or saying something in a society with a certain predominant religion while you'd be honored for the same thing in another. If you read history, you'll find Ethics and traditions have committed atrocities in the name of God, Yahweh, Allah, Thor, or Oden for thousands of years. There is never a scientist or an Evolutionist who kills or persecutes people in the name of evolution or science! But, there are millions who did in the name of religions or their claimed supernatural creator whoever that was at the time and place in history for thousands of years.
Some claim evolutionists are deceiving themselves when they talk about ethics because they do not believe in a soul which will suffer after death for committing sins. Are evolutionists deceiving themselves just because they do not believe in what you believe? What stops evolutionists from committing atrocities is self-control and humanity. That is nobler to me than others stopping themselves because of the fear of punishment or an invisible deity watching them all the time like Santa Claus. Interestingly, this deity is completely different for a few billion from the other few billions, and its character changes from place to place and time to time in history. If this point is valid, how do you explain that countries which are not religious like Sweeden, Norway, and Danmark to mention a few, are more advanced, have more human rights, and fewer crimes, theft, and rape than religious countries like USA, Mexico, Colombia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Egypt? just to mention a few
If you take away people's rights, laws, and humanity they will rebel or misbehave regardless of their faith or the deity, they fear. What makes people behave is law and order and not the fear of the sole suffering eternal damnation. Law and order are mostly man-made not from the Bible, Torah, or Quran unless you are in a predominantly religious country like Afghanistan now or Europe in the dark ages. If eternal damnation and the fear of God stop people from doing atrocities, they would have behaved better in those religious countries when in chaos. People misbehave and rape during wars because of the lack of order despite what they believe. People are people.
Someone may question how evolutionists claim ethics as they believe in animalistic, and biological function only? Part of the evolution is civilized human behavior, empathy, and fairness. We have evolved in the last 50 years more than we did in the last 10,000. Animals, as well as humans, may become vicious to survive but if you observe closely, they have instinctual love and protection for their young, they have empathy, rules, and hierarchy. They sense injustice and unfairness. They feel pain and emotional distress. We, humans, think we are better and special hence we have soles because we are smarter, communicate better (which is part of evolution), and can control those poor animals. Ethics is a part of human evolution. You would think Evolution and ethics are contradictory only if you believe ethics are religions, which is wrong. Ethics is humanity despite religions because what is ethical in one religion is not ethical in another. for example, female honor killing is ethical in some societies but unethical in others. But killing should never be ethical in any case. Raping at war happens and is even legal in some places but it should never be ethical. Religions can control a closed tribal society but not an open accepting multicultural society.

Can a woman go to Church for communion while bleeding?


Can a woman go to Church for communion while bleeding? Yes, or No, and Why?


25 minutes of contradictions.
In summary, here is what I got from this video;

1- Father Boutros Samy said; Some Coptic Churches in Egypt prohibit women from going to church, taking communion, or even going to Sunday school while bleeding during menstruation or after giving birth because they are impure as stated in the Bible. And that is wrong.
(So, the Bible tradition is Women are impure while bleeding but that's wrong?)

2- Father Boutros agrees; The Coptic Church Law States that a boy is to be baptized at the age of 40 days and a girl at 80 days because a woman stays unclean or impure for 40 days after giving birth to a boy and for 80 days after giving birth to a girl. 
(A woman is double impure after giving birth to a girl compared to giving birth to a boy?)

3- Father Boutros discussed; The Old Testament states that women are unclean and impure while bleeding during menstruation or after birth even men become unclean if they touch them. (Leviticus 12:2, 15:19-30, 18:19, 20:19, and so on.) But Jesus abolished that in the New Testament, and we don't believe in it anymore because he let the bleeding woman touch him (Mathew 9:20) (Luke 8:43-46)
(So, we believe in the Old Testament, but we don't believe or follow it anymore?)

4- Priest Boutros claimed; We believe and follow the laws of the Old Testament because it is symbolic and it contains the prophecy of the New Testament. The New Testament is a continuation of the Old Testament. Jesus followed the Law and he said, "I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" But he abolished considering women impure among many other things.
(So, Jesus did not abolish the Old Testament Law and abolished it too?)

5- Father Boutros explained the Old and The New Testaments state that women are unclean and less than men. As men have seniority over women since Adam was created before Eve, and Eve was created from Adam. (for example, in many chapters in Leviticus and in 1 Timothy 2:11-15). Father explained; Women being less is not a punishment, but it is because the first woman failed and tempted Adam into disobeying God.
(So, women being less than men is not a punishment, but it is still a punishment?) 

6- Father Boutros stated that “Women being impure or less than men” is a Jewish belief. Because the old church was established by Jews converted to Christianity, the early Church followed the Jewish Laws like circumcision and the church continues to follow them till now!
(So, Coptic Christians have been following Jewish laws for the past 2000 years?)

7- Father stated; We respect and follow the Old Testament, but we should not consider women too impure and make it easy on women. However, at the same time, we will not permit women to take communion when bleeding during their period until the church changes the laws (which have not been changed for 2000 years?).
(So, we should follow the Old Testament laws, but we shouldn’t believe in them?) 
(So, we should not follow the old laws, but we will follow them anyway, but not exactly, so we make it easy on women?)

I heard Father Daoud Lamai once claiming that the Church prohibits women or "excuse them" from attending church and communion while menstruating because the church does not want to trouble women with the burden of leaving the house when they are uncomfortable with the bleed and cramps. This is quite a falsification of all the written verses in the Bible.

6- Life value inequality
In a life-threatening situation, Women and children are saved first.

7- Job quality inequality
The top ten most dangerous jobs are predominantly men's jobs.​https://www.themarlincompany.com/blog-articles/dangerous-jobs-2019/
8- Job safety inequality
Men are 10 times more likely to get killed at work than women. https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2018/12/19/fatal-employment-men-10-times-more-likely-than-women-to-be-killed-at-work/#2317ab6852e8
9- Justice system inequality
Males are 6 times more likely to be in prison than females. Males may commit more crimes than females, but the law is firmer against males who commit the same crimes as women? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_of_women_in_the_United_States
10- Pay inequality
Calculated Controlled Gender Pay Gap reveals Women earn ​98 c for every $1 earned by men in the same job and same qualifications. It is a very small difference due to the opportunity gap, as women may attend to family and children which gives men more opportunity to advance. The Calculated Uncontrolled Gender Pay Gap reveals women earn 79c for every $1 earned by men which is not accurate as it compares money made by all men to money made by all women in general regardless of positions, education, or qualifications. In general, fewer women seek higher positions due to social and maternity needs. Hence more men work, and more men have higher positions and make more money. But there is no gender gap between men and women if they both provide the same qualifications, time, and effort in a job.

Middel Class Crush

In America, you are happier If you are penniless and depend on the government aid or if you are a billionaire and don't need the government, but not in the middle class. Let us talk numbers. If you don't have a job or no income, you may get housing assistance (section 8), food stamps, free healthcare, you don't pay any taxes, but you get tax aid and your children get low-income scholarships and go to college for free. That's at least $5,000/month= 60,000/year in aid. If you work 40 hours a week at $45/hour, you will make 90,000 a year get taxed 33% and end up making 60,000/year, the same money you get in aid. However, all the assistance will be taken away from you, and you will pay for everything and your Children's college and healthcare to end up broke! Why work at all?! If you are not a billionaire you are a Middle-class and the Middle class is crushed in America.

On 9/11 Some people did something

On 9/11 Some people did something
Ilhan Omar is claiming Americans have been treating Muslim Americans as second class Citizens! Then, how the hell did she become a US House Representative, while she doesn't even deserve to be an American?!
I think she may benefit the experience of being a first-class citizen in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Sudan. Ilhan better takes an extended look at the real second class citizens like the Christians in Muslim countries or women in her home Muslim Somalia!
9/11 was the most horrific day of my life and every loyal American's life. 2,976 Americans were brutally burned alive and murdered in one day, on American soil, by the hands of 19 Muslim hijackers. 19 Terrorists killed more Americans in one day than Japan did in the attack on Pearl Harbor WWII.
It is evident that some people like Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour do not have loyalty to the USA but to their headscarf! Omar's hijab is not a fashion statement; it is a religious statement; I wear a veil because I follow the fundamental rules of my religion. Omar, like all apologists, may deny 9/11 has anything to do with Islam in spite of the facts, 9/11 was committed by 19 Fundamental Muslims under the leadership of a well respected international Fundamental Muslim leader.
From experience in the Middle East, most if not all Muslim countries consider 9/11 a victory of Islam over the infidels. In the Islamic Middle East, 9/11 is called the New York Foray to make it equal to the battles of the prophet Muhammed such as Badr Foray, Uhud Foray, Al Ahzab Foray, Banu Quraizah Foray, and so on. When I was in Egypt, I found some Muslim apologists believing that America did 9/11 and killed its people to frame Islam and Bin Laden!!!! What a delusion and what a denial! It is always a conspiracy against Islam!
The Somali Refugee Ilhan Omar was most probably celebrating 9/11 on 9/11/2001 with the Paterson, New Jersey Muslims because she sounds exactly like them! Omar may minimize 9/11 like all the fundamentalists minimize the Jewish Holocaust in WWII or the Christian Armenian Massacre by the Turks from 1915 to 1917 which is still denied by Turkey until today! Now the new thing is (9/11 was some people did something).
We keep dealing with the (Same shit different toilet!)

What does it mean to uncover someone's nakedness in the Bible?

What does it mean to uncover someone's nakedness in the Bible?

What does it mean Ham saw Noah's nakedness when he got drunk and naked? Why did Noah Curse Canaan and not Ham in Geneses 9? This is one of the difficult-to-understand stories in Genesis. However, if we understand the meaning of uncovering the nakedness in the Bible, the story would be clear.

Genesis 9:22,24,25
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, he said, “Cursed be Canaan. The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.

Leviticus 18:6, 8, 17, 19. 
6“ None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord." 
8 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness."
17"You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, and you shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are relatives; it is depravity."  
19 “You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. 

Deuteronomy 22:30, and 27:20. 
22:30 “A man shall not take his father’s wife so that he does not uncover his father’s nakedness.
27:20 “ ‘Cursed be anyone who lies with his father’s wife because he has uncovered his father’s nakedness.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ezekiel 22:10.   In you men uncover their father's nakedness; in you they violate women who are unclean in their menstrual impurity.

Samuel 16:21, 22. 
21 Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

All these verses talk about uncovering the nakedness of someone as having sexual sin with his women. The bible forbids to have sex with a stepmother, a woman and her daughter or granddaughter, a close relative, or a woman in her menstruation. In many situations in the Old Testament, the Bible described Uncovering the nakedness of someone as to have sex with or rap his wife or concubines. It was a common practice in the past to have sex with the wife of someone to humiliate and dominate that person. This practice is very common in the ancient wars, Islamic invasions, and is still done in wars nowadays.

From this, many biblical scholars concluded that Ham has sex with his father's wife or his own mother and told his brothers about it to humiliate and control his father. Also, many believe the act of Ham led to the birth of Canaan the youngest. Hence Noah cursed Canaan's sons to become servants to the sons of Shem and Japheth because Canan was the son of sin and incest.
