Why is the gifted class at my school filled with Christians but the special-ed class is filled with atheists?

the same reason most Nobel prize winners are believers in God, dear.  They are more intelligent.

Lying for Jesus is still lying, you know. 

i think its just a coincidence

In my parts when we call someone "gifted" that is meant as a slight towards that person.(you know, because saying mentally retarded is cruel and too many syllables to pronounce.   Special-ed may mean exactly that ...various specialized classes with a wide array of specializations - brain surgeon, neurology scientist, lady plumber, psychotherapists, and other that take BRAINS not beliefs.

Just saying.  You got the train instead of a brain when they were being handed out.?

Why do the people who think they have been commanded not to lie by their god end up being the most frequent liars?

Ed, it's time to get your special self back to class. Try not to drool along the way.

Because you go to school in Bizarro-land?

That which is ASSerted without evidence IS dismissed without evidence.

They just told you that so you'd feel special.  Just like the short bus you rode really isn't a limo.  :D  :D
