I think students should decide themselves whether they want to learn about it or not. It shouldn't be considered an "important subject" that students [b]have[b] to take.
@MasterLee That is not what I claim that is what the BIBLE claims. The eternal Word of God. The truth is Gods Word is true and will always be true because it came from God it did not come from man. And it is impossible for God to lie. Unless you are calling God a liar
@Firechidist how can you call a non existent being a liar? That is like calling my night stand a liar. Why do you care if anyone believes this? why do you defend it if you aren't making this preposterous claim? How can an inanimate object make a claim? Why does your skydaddy require us to edit and print this? Why isn't it just burned into our brain? Why does it require education to learn to read it? Why is it such nonsense? How did you become convinced this ridiculous story had credence?
@Firechidist You claim your beliefs are "the truth" but there is nothing to verify that. Your arrogance is astounding.
What evidence is there that the bible is "god's word"? One could say [i][b]"The truth is the Invisible Pink Unicorn's word is true and will always be true because it came from the Invisible Pink Unicorn, it did not come from man and it is impossible for the Invisible Pink Unicorn to lie."[/b][/i]
As the Invisible Pink Unicorn's word contradicts that of your god, I've just proven your god is a liar.
You might think I'm being arrogant but I'm really just telling the truth.
I'm in the UK and left school only a few years ago. While I was there we were required to attend a christian religous assembly every day. We also had to attend "religious education" lessons that, in practice, were just further attempts at christian indoctrination. This was just an ordinary state comprehensive, not a private religious school. The christians must be getting really desperate for converts but their bully-boy tactics won't work.
In UK state (public) schools, christian worship is a legal requirement, as is the teaching of religion - emphasizing christianity. Parents have a legal right to opt their children out but that right is not widely known and some headteachers have been known to deny it even exists.
When I qwas at school, several of my classmates and I were severely beaten by the christian religious education/indoctrination teacher for daring to say we didn't believe in her god.
@SW-User Years agi I home schooled. Xtianity had like 4 lessons, and the others were condensed into one so I dud the same and added it to the others and dropped the multi lesson plan to reduce it's significance like the others. Worked great
Yes. If they want to teach bullshit to their kids and forfeit a real education since education is the devil then take their kids to a private religious fucktard school. Religion has no place in modern society. Religion poisons everything.
I don't have a problem with that, but are you going to relegate "Science" to the "Religion" column? Because many in education worship science as their god.
Yes I agree with you. It shouldn't be pushed on students who are not religious. But for those who are religious, they should be able to to take that class
I don't object to religion being an elective but it should not be mandatory. And that goes for this islam crap some schools are shoving down the kid's throats.
