Interesantive post, saludos desde Venezuela.

Having been raised on a hippie commune, without the government indoctrination, I am able to see the wisdom of keeping your children out of the school to jail pipeline, and the disadvantage to teaching your child to mindlessly listen to the person at the head of the class speaking.

We need new schools which teach critical thought, we need new teachers who will instill into children the ability to think critically and make best guesses without regret, knowing that intuition is strong and often right.

I think you're right that we need alternatives to government schools. Do you have any resources you could share to provide good examples?

Montessori, Waldorf, home-schooling, other private schools, a combination of public schooling and supplementary home schooling.

Thank you for the examples. I'll check out Waldorf.

I went to a Montessori for a few years and I wouldn't highly recommend it. I feel like certain expensive private schools can be more elitist than educational.

I went to a Montessori school between kindergarten and 2nd grade, and I believe it served me well in comparison to what I would have gotten out of public schools. In NY state public schools in the U.S., at least the Montessori education I received between those grades left me about a year ahead of where public schools were in 3rd grade. This is purely anecdotal of course, and vague memories at that. It may be that there is a good deal of variability between the quality of different Montessori schools, or that my experience was the exception to the rule, but I wouldn't write off Montessori schools so quickly.

This is inspiring and educative

I've been taught in secondary schools in the UK and France and the differences in teaching were interesting. This is a few years back. While questions weren't discouraged at any point, there was definitely a hint of attitude from the teachers of "How dare you question what i'm teaching you, we only have an hour and I need to rush through the syllabus because we're already way behind because I've lost 20 minutes trying to get you little shits to sit still and pay attention".

In the UK it was particularly brutal for teachers at times where teachers would have breakdowns on a daily basis trying to do their jobs. The French school had a lot more control over its students, however the conditions that we were working in was nothing short of anti-social and led me to depression.

Once I reached A Level and Undergrad things were entirely different because teachers actually could teach without having to deal with disruptions constantly so there was much more one to one time and encouragement for questioning. Especially in university, I was constantly being told that in order to achieve the highest marks one would have to not just cite others research but to explore it and give their own opinions and reasons and even carry out your own primary research.

Going from that university environment back to an environment such as at home or the workplace where you have people who have been taught and living by the code of ranks and eldership to which if you dare ask a question it is treated as a personal attack on the individual is frustrating to say the least.

That's my own experience, but from hearing from teachers teaching at the moment I hear that the attitudes of students has changed. If you weren't actively causing mayhem for the teacher then you were considered odd. But from I hear that has now changed to where students are way more polite and respectful and this is more acceptable to fit in, but kids are still very socially reserved and afraid of sounding stupid to their peers.

I only finished uni last year and it's one of the main things I noticed was so many students lack of confidence to even engage in a dialogue. In any lecture, workshop, seminar it would always be the same few students who would take advantage of asking questions. There were plenty of students asking other students how to do things, but professors would have to work really hard to make them feel comfortable enough to ask a question. You're paying hundreds by the hour for a seminar yet because everyone is too afraid to sound stupid the seminar is an hour of silence.

from experience, the smarter you are, the less you want to do manual labor
because you consider yourself too smart for that
unless you find a way to earn money without labor (steemit, yo) then brains are counter-productive

That's not true. Manual labor (especially working the land) is essential to the maintenance of a healthy soul.

My daughter got her education through the Waldorf Schools, I am somewhat uncomfortable with the religious portion of their education, by and large it is good, they put an emphasis on time outside, and teaching to the child where they are.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_education

Waldorf and Montessori schools are good alternative sources of 3rd party schooling. My girlfriend was Waldorf/home-school educated, and while I haven't personally observed the process, I can attest to the results. Those systems seem to be highly effective at creating people with a strong moral/ethical foundation, and an appreciation for nature and being.

But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed...They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests.

Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that!

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it... It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club. ~George Carlin

Good old wise Malcolm X, the only problem is money. Not going to a public government school is ridiculously expensive.

Actually, you have it backwards. How much is your child's body and mind worth? Sacrificing them at a government school is very expensive!

Very True

The Amish where I live have their own schools. It's the public schools that take millions in taxes for that olympic swimming pool that is completely unnecessary.

I cant believe this topic even exists in 2018, its just so sad man

Malcom the 10th is not the greatest example of a human being, but his quote on public education is very wise. The modern day school system, including a lot of private schools, indoctrinates the youth into useful idiots or, at least, doesn’t let the children reach their full potential. Parents need to start taking responsibility for their children again!

one of the greatest heros in the american history, malcolm, really great hero. sorry for what just happend in the american school pray for those children that god protect them.

Keeping kids out of the state-indoctrination centres known as schools is the best way to keep them safe. The biggest lessons taught in school are to obey authority and mindlessly regurgitate information, with little to no emphasis on critical thinking or free thought. The worst part? Obeying authority is instilled as a virtue and mindlessly regurgitating information is perceived as intelligence. Kids should be taught how to think, not what to think.

I wish I could have home schooled my daughter.

Unless you are a single parent you COULD have. The unit study programs available got my wife through four sons over a 20 year period. We sacrificed over $1,000,000 by keeping her home and having her be a MOTHER instead of going out and being an RN. 20 years x an average of $50,000 a year. You figure.
But we don't drive new cars. We buy them 6 years old and drive them until they fall apart. We don't own a fancy new house like so many of my neighbors that send their kids to the place where their brains are removed and replaced with state worshiping BORG brains. Reason and LOGIC are long gone in the gooberment skewl cisterns.

I was a single parent. My daughter is now an adult. You made a great sacrifice, and in my opinion totally worth it. I live in the UK and to be honest at the time I did not know you could home school, but have since learned it is totally possible; but as you say easier if you are not a single parent. I

Let's not overlook how they at least help children to socialize. Specialized education runs the feal of making them secluded snobs.

Yes, they do help them socialize don't they. SOCIALize. Turn them into good functioning communists while they come home pregnant, get exposed to drugs and if they don't fit in with the in crowd they are bullied and treated like pariah. Great place for kids to socialize. Try homeschooling and find a HOME SCHOOL group to socialize with. My four sons were actually interacting with kids 5-10 years older then they were as they home schooled. They didn't get bullied and they didn't get scorned because they weren't jocks or drug pushers. Plus if you have values? Forget them. The pubic skewl cistern is going to rot them right out of their brains. You won't know your kids when they are done. And if you're really lucky they will bring in a recruiter and con them into joining Uncle Scams military to go off to far away distant places, meet strange unusual people and kill them, then come home and blow their own heads off because they can't live with what they did. Great place. Just for some socialization.

Right to the point. Upvoted and resteemed.

Thanks!

You are overlooking the drug connection that is rampant in the gooberment skewl cistern because of the prescriptions being dished out to these kids altering their sense of reality.

Yes, definitly agree but how can we socialise our children without school. We must get united and create more accurate learning system and method that gives our children chance to socialise. Without that how we build a future without our enemy.

> "Only a fool would let his enemy teach his children."

But the govern-cement is our friend.
I learned this in school.
They know best.
They will protect us.

If only reality wasn't such a bitch, and kept showing that things were the complete opposite!

Putting guns in the hands of government or people will bring about temporary solution to problems whereas seeking and embracing peace will result in permanent solution to problems.

I see what your saying, and I can't say I disagree, but what about the parents who can't afford the time off work for homeschooling, or the money for an alternate education program? What do they do? Maybe there are options in some places for good free education that isn't government run and funded, but not most places. At least not in the U.S.

"Good education for free" Nothing in life is free. You pay for it one way or another. They are your kids, so only you can answer that. The only thing is to do the best you can, considering your own circumstances. Just remember that the best education they can have comes from their own parents.

But it sounds so simple doesn't it?

Free? Try budgeting. We did. My wife and I home schooled FOUR sons over a 20 year period at the estimated loss of over ONE MILLION Dollars because she was a registered nurse. But we don't buy new cars or have a new house either. My car is 12 years old that I drive and hers is seven. Our home is a 1970's ranch style that is always being worked on. Unless you are a single parent...there really is no excuse.

How about if you don't even own a home at all? Also, you guys are focusing on a very specific part of my comment that wasn't intended to be the main point. What I said about the free education is that MAYBE it exists somewhere else but not where I am from and not where I live now in the U.S. My main point is that some parents, including single parents, do not have the luxury of homeschooling their kids. The economy is forcing a lot of parents to choose between having their kids home schooled, or having food on the table or a roof over their heads. Forget I said anything about"free education", nothing in life is free, that part is correct, except for when I do free volunteer work to help people that won't pay for hired labor. That IS FREE.

I thought only in my country government schools are dangerous too bad we are now 18 years after the 2000 and we are at the same point since 1900 maybe
Thank u @adamkokesh for the great post

Steemit, stay woke.

enjoying & perfect!

Hello @adamkokesh. What you actually posted is correct to an extent. I agreed with @motherearthist. It is somewhat difficult not to allow the kids to go to school. However, I think there should be a follow up post regarding on how to proffer lasting solution to the issue raised. It should be a debate for another day. I am looking forward to that. Thanks for the post. I wish you the best. Cheers!!

Someone wiser said:

"Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."

It's really good point. Sir!!! It's true.

good post
@adamkokesh

Straight to the point! Thanks for this @adamkokesh!
Upped and follow :)

To be frank this is just the whole truth,sending your kids to government schools has a way of making the kids have low self-esteem,it has a way of hoarding the kids capabilities and make them have little or no confidence to approach life.

This is enlightening.

Thanks @adamkokesh

I just did a video about the failings of state police and why they should be abolished in favor of private security!

Great analysis

We love home schooling. We've learned a lot along side our boys. We post our BIBLE studies right here on $teemit.com. Taking our boys out of the government indoctrination system was the best thing for us parents as well as our children.

Great quote by Malcolm x.

It saddens me to say that this is indeed the reality. But it not only the education. It's also the healthcare system poisoning us and killing us and keeping the majority on drugs. They don't see it until it's all too late. Thanks for bringing up the subject. Hope one day soon in the future we can see some difference happening.

Hello
- Who am I ?
- Why I exist?
- What is my destiny?
Questions that confused the world..
You will find their answers only in Islam! :cherry_blossom:
Would you like to know about it?! I will be very happy if you agree.

I find the answers in myself. I don't need any religion to bring me closer to God. God is everywhere I look.

If one says that they do not have the right to judge other’s beliefs or actions, they are, in fact, contradicting themselves. If you were to ask many of these people whether killing infants or suicide is correct and acceptable, they will naturally answer that it is not. But when we look into certain societies, such as some religions found in Central America, infanticide was seen to be a way to draw near to their gods. Also today, in Hindu religion, it is praiseworthy for a wife to kill herself after the death of her husband. If they truly believe that religion is something left to the individual and that none have the right to interfere or judge them, then this would necessitate allowing that killing babies is something which is correct to those who believe it is praiseworthy, and that people have no right to judge them.

That's true. But what evidence is that to show that your religion is the true one, or of the highest good? Just because some other people are depraved does not necessarily mean that we are virtuous.

Some of the reasons given why people convert to Islam are the eloquence of the Quran’s language, its overwhelming scientific evidence and proofs, arguments rooted in intellectual reasoning, and the Divine wisdom behind various social issues. The uniqueness and beauty of the Quran’s text has been marveled by the best of Arab linguists and scholars, both Muslim and otherwise, from the days it was revealed until today. The more knowledgeable people are in the language, the more they appreciate the wonders of the textual fluency of the Quran. Revealed more than 1400 years ago, the Quran also has numerous scientific facts that are being validated by science only in this era. Furthermore, it is the only known religious text that challenges mankind to think, reflect and ponder over the creation at large, social issues, God’s existence, and more. The Quran, in many instances, challenges people to reflect and think on their own, rather than heeding the loose talk of those whose criticism is based on baseless foundations. Finally, the Quran provides a solution to numerous social issues, deviation from which has been known to cause societal chaos at all levels.

I think all religious texts cause mankind to reflect and to ponder the big questions, not just the Quran. Also, I already have a loving relationship with god, and feel gratitude every day for the gifts good has given me. So what use is Islam to me? I already know and love god.

Please explain ..
How do you define your love to god what's your evidence from your book?

I agree with you we absolutely are grateful to God every day every second ?

Do you worship one God ?

Peace
Thank you

There is only one god, but from it infinite emanations and incarnation pour forth.

Also, I do not get my evidence for god from a book. I get my evidence for god from experience. And I am grateful to God for revealing itself to me, and loving me unconditionally.

I experience god by taking LSD and eating psilocybin mushrooms (Psilocybe cubensis). Psychedelic drugs are tools we can use to have an experience of the infinite love of God. They are also tools we can use to heal and learn.
I am grateful to God for every day, and like William Blake said— "gratitude is heaven in itself."

Blessings and peace to you

Your personal perception is refuted for one simple reason every thing in life is based on evidence therefore
The reincarnation concept has no basis secondly baker can't substantiate his claim either and I would like
To high light the actual truth
About our existence

Yes we have one God our creator is the one who is only worth worshiping and sent down prophets so this universe know and answer
These questions that you ask yourself everyday ...
You should know the facts and reality is the true blessing and not running away

Drugs doesn't answer these questions

🌹 Islam allows us to know God

🌸The first principle and focal point of Islam is belief in one God, and the whole of the Quran is dedicated to this. It speaks directly about God and His Essence, Names, Attributes and Actions. Prayer connects us to God, however truly knowing and understanding the Names and Attributes of God is an important and unique opportunity, one that is only available in Islam. Those who do not make the effort to really know God may find the nature of their existence puzzling or even distressing. A Muslim is encouraged to remember God and be grateful to Him and a person can do this by contemplating and understanding God’s beautiful Names and Attributes. It is through this that we are able to know our Creator.

“God! (None has the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best Names.” (Quran 20:8)

“And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to God, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names…” (Quran 7:180)

Have you ever taken psychedelic drugs? If not, then how can you know that they do not help you to find the answers that are within you?

You see, we can both read the Quran, and we can both follow the precepts of Islam (or any religion), and then we would be equally knowledgeable of the religion (although not necessarily knowledgeable of God). However, in order to understand the beauty and truth that abides for those who take psychedelics, one first has to take psychedelics, enter their mindset, and learn to see things their way. It is not very different from reading a book—books, after all, elicit the release of natural drugs in the brain that can cause a person to feel emotional, religious, or any number of feelings.

God is truly transcendent, and beyond our understanding. And yet god is here with us. It is the breath in your lungs and the thoughts in your mind.

Peacefulness

You're sending me your first reply and human intellect doesn't settle for their own reasoning
Why should you settle for a refuted myth?

Here is the truth ..
I invite you to read

WHAT_IS_ISLAM?

🦋 the beliefs of Islam:

:umbrella: There are many aspects of belief in which one who adheres to Islam must have firm conviction. From those aspects, the most important are six, known as the “Six Articles of Belief”.

1) :cherry_blossom: Belief in God
Islam upholds strict monotheism and belief in God forms the heart of their faith. Islam teaches belief in one God who neither gives birth nor was born Himself, and has no share in His caretaking of the world. He alone gives life, causes death, brings good, causes affliction, and provides sustenance for His creation. God in Islam is the sole Creator, Lord, Sustainer, Ruler, Judge, and Savior of the universe. He has no equal in His qualities and abilities, such as knowledge and power. All worship, veneration and homage is to be directed to God and none else. Any breach of these concepts negates the basis of Islam.

2) :cherry_blossom: Belief in the Angels
Adherents to Islam must believe in the Unseen world as mentioned in the Quran. From this world are the angels’ emissaries of God, each assigned with a specific task. They have no free-will or ability to disobey; it is their very nature to be God's faithful servants. Angels are not to be taken as demigods or objects of praise or veneration; they are mere servants of God obeying His every command.

3 ) :cherry_blossom: Belief in the Prophets and Messengers
Islam is a universal and inclusive religion. Muslims believe in the prophets, not just the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, but the Hebrew prophets, including Abraham and Moses, as well as the prophets of the New Testament, Jesus, and John the Baptist. Islam teaches God did not send prophets to Jews and Christians alone, rather He sent prophets to all nations in the world with one central message: worship God alone. Muslims must believe in all prophets sent by God mentioned in the Quran, without making any distinction between them. Muhammad was sent with the final message, and there is no prophet to come after him. His message is final and eternal, and through him God completed His Message to humanity.

ما_هو_الاسلام7؟

WHAT_IS_ISLAM?

🦋 the beliefs of Islam part2

4) :cherry_blossom: Belief in the Sacred Texts
Muslims believe in all books that God has sent down to humanity through His prophets. These books include the Books of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These books all had the same source (God), the same message, and all were revealed in truth. This does not mean that they have been preserved in truth. Muslims (and many other Jewish and Christian scholars and historians) find that the books in existence today are not the original scriptures, which in fact have been lost, changed, and or translated over and over again, losing the original message.

As Christians view the New Testament to fulfill and complete the Old Testament, Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad received revelations from God through the angel Gabriel to correct human error that had entered into the scriptures and doctrine of Judaism, Christianity and all other religions. This revelation is the Quran, revealed in the Arabic language, and found today in its pristine form. It seeks to guide mankind in all walks of life; spiritual, temporal, individual and collective. It contains directions for the conduct of life, relates stories and parables, describes the attributes of God, and speaks of the best rules to govern social life. It has directions for everybody, every place, and for all time. Millions of people today have memorized the Quran, and all copies of the Quran found today and in the past are identical. God has promised that He will guard the Quran from change until the end of times, so that Guidance be clear to humanity and the message of all the prophets be available for those who seek it.

ما_هو_الاسلام8؟

WHAT_IS_ISLAM?

🦋 the beliefs of Islam part3

5) :cherry_blossom: Belief in Life after Death
Muslims believe that a day will come when all of creation will perish and resurrected in order to be judged for their deeds: The Day of Judgment. On this day, all will gather in the presence of God and each individual will be questioned about their life in the world and how they lived it. Those who held correct beliefs about God and life, and followed their belief with righteous deeds will enter Paradise, even though they may pay for some of their sins in Hell if God out of His Infinite Justice chooses not to forgive them. As for those who fell into polytheism in its many faces, they will enter Hellfire, never to leave therefrom.

6) :cherry_blossom: Belief in the Divine Decree
Islam asserts that God has full power and knowledge of all things, and that nothing happens except by His Will and with His full knowledge. What is known as divine decree, fate, or "destiny" is known in Arabic as al-Qadr. The destiny of every creature is already known to God.

This belief however does not contradict with the idea of man's free will to choose his course of action. God does not force us to do anything; we can choose whether to obey or disobey Him. Our choice is known to God before we even do it. We do not know what our destiny is; but God knows the fate of all things.

Therefore, we should have firm faith that whatever befalls us, it is according to God's will and with His full knowledge. There may be things that happen in this world that we do not understand, but we should trust that God has wisdom in all things

I never said I believe in any refuted myths. I believe in the felt presence of direct experience that I have had—direct experience of God, which is a thing that no religion can give. Religions rely on texts and agents like imams and priests, instead of direct experience, which is available when we use the plant tools God has given us.

There is no control on what you said. Anyone can say my experience tells me so and so. The experience you talk about may lead us only to the point that there is God, but how do you know what Allah wants from you? So Allah, the All-Knowing and the All-Wise sent messengers and scriptures tell us what we should believe in regarding Allah, His traits, actions, angles and so on.
In Islam the is no any one between you and God. In Islam you can seek knowledge and know more about your God. In Islam Scholars and Imams as you said have nothing to do with you except answering the question you don't know. They answer depending upon the book of Allah and the tradition of the Prophet. So i hope you know more about Islam to know that there is no one between you and Allah.

"Refuted myth"

It's a refuted myth if you acknowledge its your own perception The owner of this universe this creation
As you see it's a Marvel if you acknowledge the existence of God then you should acknowledge your purpose of your creation
What is it do you know?...
🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼
Peace.

God wants nothing but for us to be happy! If God is all-powerful, how could god then want things? God has made everything exactly as it should be, and it is special-tailored to benefit each of us. The purpose of creation is to be loved by God. Nothing more. There can be no greater good, no higher purpose.

There is also no control in religion, because anyone can interpret the texts however they please.

Peace

Yes I believe that God is the Almighty ,the All-wise,the Self-sufficient Master, the Most Merciful .
He doesn't need anything or anyone.
Hence , He did not leave us to wander aimlessly
but blessed us with an innate ability to recognize and acknowledge His existence. He placed this awareness deep in our hearts as a natural disposition that has not changed since human beings were first created. Furthermore, He reinforced this natural disposition with the signs that he placed in creation that testify to His existence.
However, since it is not possible for human beings to have a detailed knowledge of God except through revelation from Himself, God sent His Messengers to teach the people about their Creator Who they must worship. These Messengers also brought with them the details of how to worship God, because such details cannot be known except by way of revelation.

So to be loved by God, one should learn about God through contemplating on His creation, and following the guidance in His revelation to know and do what pleases Him.

An important point to note is it is not up to any one to interpret the scriptures as he wishes. The interpretation of the Quran is done through the Quran itself(some parts explain others), prophetic Sunnah (authentic narrations from prophet , peace &blessings be upon him), and companions of prophet .

You said "since it is not possible for human beings to have a detailed knowledge of God except through revelation from Himself, God sent His Messengers to teach the people about their Creator Who they must worship."

But the fact is that it is possible to experience god through personal revelation! That is why god gave us the tools of LSD and Psilocybe mushrooms, so that we could have a direct experience of God's love and power. They are the plant messengers, and have more to teach than any human messenger.

God wants us to have personal experience of the infinite love. And we will, regardless of what happens in this life. But why wait to experience the bliss of the heavenly presence? God is available whenever we wish.

If one says that they do not have the right to judge other’s beliefs or actions, they are, in fact, contradicting themselves. If you were to ask many of these people whether killing infants or suicide is correct and acceptable, they will naturally answer that it is not. But when we look into certain societies, such as some religions found in Central America, infanticide was seen to be a way to draw near to their gods. Also today, in Hindu religion, it is praiseworthy for a wife to kill herself after the death of her husband. If they truly believe that religion is something left to the individual and that none have the right to interfere or judge them, then this would necessitate allowing that killing babies is something which is correct to those who believe it is praiseworthy, and that people have no right to judge them.
If we were to bring this issue to an individual level, we would see that each person has their individual perception of good and evil, whether this perception is based upon religion, law, culture, or individual contemplation. One might believe that it is perfectly acceptable to commit adultery while another might think it to be wrong. One might believe that it is permissible for them to indulge in narcotics since it is their own body, and others might believe it to be a crime. None would be able to say that anything is right or wrong, and all people would be left to their own devices to believe and practice what they perceive as “correct.

You already copy-pasted that segment and used it in your argument : (

Also, God has made the universe so that the consequences of each right and wrong action are inherent in the act. No human can do greater justice than god—and it is heretical that we would try to do so with our laws and our holy books. Human justice is injustice. Otherwise governments and religions would not be responsible for so many atrocities.

What do you mean by saying
'the consequences of actions are inherent in the act'?
Indeed God Almighty is the perfect Judge and is the source of Justice & hence His Law is the only perfect Law for every place and time.
Islam has sufficient proof that it is not manmade but is a revelation from God Almighty.
All manmade laws have flaws.
Justice only attains full meaning with belief in the afterlife, for in this life, we see that crimes go unchecked, unfair judgments are handed down and criminals walk free! Even in cases were a killer is convicted of a heinous crime, he may escape the death penalty, for it is only reserved for the most ‘culpable’ offenders (such as killers and their accomplices) as was the case of Ted Bundy, the infamous serial killer who terrorized America in the late 70s and early 80s. He presumably killed 30 to 100 people. His death via electric chair was quite painless in comparison to the agony he put each of his victims through. According to Christianity, regardless of this man’s ill doings, since he was a ‘believer’ in God, he will be forgiven as per the Doctrine of Atonement. But is this true justice?

In Islam, no one will go scot-free; all will be held accountable for their transgression in a higher court of law, wherein no one is wronged and all are given proper sentences. God, Almighty, tells us:

“And the Book (one’s Record) will be placed (in the right hand for a believer in the Oneness of God, and in the left hand for a disbeliever in the Oneness of God), and you will see the criminal sinners, fearful of that which is (recorded) therein. They will say: “Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!” And they will find all that they did placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice.” (Quran 18:49)

If a person was wronged and did not see true justice or saw only partial justice, God will restore to him his rights on that Day. The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said:

“The rights shall be returned to the proper individuals on the Day of Resurrection, even to the detail of the just retribution of the broken horned sheep from the two horned sheep who had hit it.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Muslims firmly believe in life after death, we are reminded time and time again of this reality by God, the Exalted. He says:

“O you who believe! Fear God and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for tomorrow, and fear God. Verily, God is All-Aware of what you do.” (Quran 59:18)

You said "All manmade laws have flaws.
Justice only attains full meaning with belief in the afterlife, for in this life, we see that crimes go unchecked, unfair judgments are handed down and criminals walk free!" This is very true. But God has given us all souls, even hard criminals, and by tormenting our minds and hearts with the moral weight of our mistakes, god makes the consequences of each of our transgressions inherent, or automatic, by tormenting our souls and hearts. The violent criminal is not a happy person and does not know god.

God is all-powerful, and therefore god does not need to judge us in the after life, or at all! Because we judge ourselves with our guilty conscience. Our sin cannot offend god, as the greatest offense is to ourselves. God only wants to love us and forgive us. Which God will, regardless of whether we have atoned for it.

All of us are sinners born into a corrupted world. LSD can help you to see that you don't need a book to guide your life—nor do you need forgiveness from God. God's love is unconditional.

The truth is that justice in this world doesn't matter at all to God (it is a mortal trifle), and human justice is a cruel joke. We ought to be loving one another but instead we are bent on killing each other over "justice". And all the while blind to the love and forgiveness of god—ready to accept whenever we are.

I don't find many points on which to agree with Malcolm X, but your logic here is flawless.

When I was at school, I always stared through the window. I always thought it is beautiful weather outside, I want to go outside but I am in prison. The big clocks in the class rooms shows us the wasted time. We have to give our children practical education, they have to learn to be independent and also work together. I was lucky that I was a dreamer, I am not brainwashed and I learned and still learn the most important things outside school.

Disarming the public and increasing the arming of government is social suicide.....another great post. Again I shall resteem. Peace.

This article is really inspirational brother,
Keep it up,
I really like it,
if you would allow someone who against you to teach your kids, he might make your kids against you.

> These quotes have plenty of knowledge and lesson for us to learn.
I like your post, upvoting and resteeming.

Parents should take the greater part to educate their kids. Computer games such as war related must be strickly banned on children - this I think one of the reason why there is mass shooting in schools.

I had a family business which closed down because of the crisis and that was the only thing I knew what to do. So it's not working if it's limited and your parents aren't exactly the smartest people around.

I really hope you're joking. I played Red Alert and Command and Conquer 24/7 growing up and I am a pacifist.

Some people might react differently to the games. I think the life-like killing games with a lack of faith creates people who aren't scared to kill.
If you don't fear eternal damnation afterlife for these acts then how is anyone surprised by the results? It's a Godless, gun carrying, violent video game playing new generation.
I don't understand having the nerve to take another persons life.

I don't think war related video games have much to do with this.

We play video games in Australia to, but we don't go shooting up schools.

Banned by who? I hope you don't mean the government. Because if you do, you completely missed the boat on this one. Cheers to you if you meant by the parents!

Why do parents let their children get brain washed with all the violence in the video games?

cops don't have guns to protect you, they have guns to protect themselves.

Thanks right. And they protect and serve "THE STATE". (whatever that is)

I am self-taught to the most part. School only taught me how to follow the herd and have the same answer everybody is using. But that way, you have the exact same chances to be chosen for something, as everyone else, which is a gamble not worth the risk.

These are very true words. Public schools are incubators for mental health issues. If the department of education was dismantled and education became entirely provided by markets, for profit, then school shootings would become a thing of the past.

Don't send your kid to a government school and lime 95% of Americans can't afford a private school? Have your kids taken by CPS.

Good advice. Unfortunately it's not that simple. Unfortunately people are forced to send their kids to Public Schools otherwise they will have their kids taken from them by the state.

And to top it off the real issue isn't being addressed. That being the administering of mind altering drugs to these kids to make them more effeminate. To do away with their boyishness. And I'm not talking about non prescription, but rather prescription drugs handed out like M&M's by the licensed drug pushing psychiatric psycho run industry.

I said this in a thread on FB when asked about arming teachers: "Ban public schools instead."

inspiration

One other thing...there were FOUR Sheriff deputies who apparently had read the supreme Court of idiots "opinion" on police protection saying that the public is not their concern.

Supreme Court Ruling: Police Have No Duty to Protect the General Public

Given the fact that the government is not responsible for protecting the general public from common criminals, rapists, mass murderers and terrorists, then why do so many government proposed solutions involve limiting the general public’s access to firearms? It’s a question that is worth considering as we move forward with this discussion.

The interesting fact is that the Declaration of Independence actually says the only legitimate REASON for government is to protect the people in their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/justices-rule-police-do-not-have-a-constitutional-duty-to-protect.html

Such a powerful quote. Wonder why they didn't have any lectures on Maclolm X in public school?

Adam while I agree that sending your children to what can only be compared to kid prison is wrong. I think it is important to recognize that we are a long way off from the reform necessary to abolish the public school system.

Not saying I have all the answers to this problem... Maybe if we brought the good men and women of our military home from fighting unconstitutional wars we could have them protect our children during the dissolution and restructuring process.

your post is good I wait for the next posting

Definitely more weapons is NOT the solution. If we observe that the government official who has a firearm did nothing, it is a sign that arming more people is NOT the solution.

Now imagine that the teachers also carry weapons, that is, a person trained to educate, not for weapons, and grant him that delicate activity. I think arming would not be the solution to this problem.

The thing with educational institutions (no coincidence that's also where they put crazy people).

There are two curricula.

•Curriculum A. Assignments in varying subjects.

Curriculum B. Training students to endure some horrible job where you must ask permissiom to speak, ask questions, use the restroom and eat. It's a prefect pavlonian meat grinder for factory slaves, cubicle bots and obedient soldiers.

Once you realize this, the "educational" system make total sense.

Vacate the system. Montessori, alternative, homeschooling, unschooling. Whatever works for you.

gun bans often precede genocide. We already have Democide

the weapon is scary and also in need

what is the best step you think @btotherdave about the rules of using weapons

I am 65 yrs. old. I remember well fearing the draft and losing high school friends in Viet Nam. I saw John F Kennedy get assassinated. "We are being seized upon by a ruthless and monolithic conspiracy"(JFK ).
A gun ban would be all out war between the government and the people. There are over 357 million guns in the US. They would literally go door to door confiscating weapons until the inevitable happens and sides will be chosen govt. or people. Check my previous post about gun ban history.

yes I understand, but I am afraid of being sly, because it is very deadly

whether weapons are important to us

@brotherdave weapons do not have to be scary

Interesting thoughts in the quotes you had posted....

Malcolm also said that the right is not given to anyone who is silent about it, and that one has to make some noise to get what he wants
In my opinion, there should be very strict laws when buying weapons, especially when it comes to adolescents because they are reckless and are going through a difficult and difficult to control their behavior, I am very sorry for what happened to the 17 young people. It is truly terrifying and these abuses must be stopped

Trump is a businessman in the first place, we're living in capitalism ideology, that's why it's hard to ban a gun from the seller. That's the result of democracy, we have free will and there's positive and negative result in the environment we created, unless you are living in communist country where everything is being controlled. :)

Nowadays we must stop practicing antivalores and raise VALUES afloat; there is a lot of individualism, we turned them egoist, we stopped thinking about the neighbor. We forgot that the union is the strength, together we can overcome any obstacle.

I am the product of a mixed education. Until the middle of junior high, I was educated in a fairly exclusive American school for expatriate kids in South Asia. I went to school with the (corrupt) president's son, and that country's equivalent of the U.S. robber baron families, plus a bunch of diplomats' kids. When I returned to my own country (Australia), I went to a private school, where my inability to follow rules and be force-fed Christianity led to my quasi-expulsion (they invited me to withdraw from the school). From there I went to a state school where things ran quite differently. The onus was on us to do our work... if you didn't do it, the teachers didn't care, your grades would suck but that was on you. It was like being thrown out of a boat and forced to swim to shore. It taught me to be able to function on my own, without a boss telling me what to do. Weirdly, it was good preparation for what I do now.

The whole system is based on fake knowledge while the real one is being erased.
If I have kids one day, I'll be telling them the truth right from the birth. And the truth is, nobody cares, only you have the power to change it around, with everything you do and everything you say.
