@CleverGirl Catholic schools accept non-Catholic students, too (at least they did when I was in school). A lot of the ones I knew thought the teachings were ridiculous. I simply meant the atmosphere wasn’t unfamiliar to me.

I left the church about 30 years ago.

@bijouxbroussard I came from an Irish Catholic family. I never believed a word I was taught.

@BrandonWyatt36 If you want to ignore where reason and testable evidence clearly lead that's your choice. Many prefer fantasy, never having received a proper education.

@CleverGirl Well the only way your going to get "Proper Education" is to get into your Bible... But that's not up to me... That's up to you to do that... You have to be serious about it... But on just giving my advice

@BrandonWyatt36 I've read it. It's the pretentious nonsense of unlearned ancient men.

@hunkalove Eternal torture if you don't do exactly as told!

@th3r0n My love of reason and testable evidence leads me in a different direction.

@BiasForAction And yet so many there still can’t follow that guideline.

@bijouxbroussard The ten commandments seem common to all Abrahamic religions but not to people of other beliefs. I'd point out that these rules predate any religion. They're necessary to community living.

@CleverGirl There are people from all over the globe here, and not all practice Abrahamic religions. But as taxpayers they are being compelled to pay for the Christian indoctrination of all public school children (including possibly their own). There already exist Christian schools for parents who want their kids so taught—separation of Church and State should allow state public schools to remain secular.
