at school did u have to do religious education & did u disagree with it? we had to do it, i didnt mind, but what i found wrong... was we were taught everything as factual, this HAPPENED so to speak.. i constantly found myself contesting this.. its fair to be taught that, people BELIEVE this happened, that to me is ok, but to push on that something which is down to a persons individual faith definitely happened, because a holy book says so.. thats not right imo..
i found some of it quite interesting like.. which is the one where their bible must be the highest book in the room, is it the quran?? and as kids we was taught to respect that.. becauuuuse??
I cant believe peoples schools didnt teach Judaism :spangled: that and Christianity were the two main religions I had to study.
i do respect it.. i dont see why tho, as non followers, school kids should be told they must do that.. its not disrespectful to put it on the shelf with the other books unless u have faith in that following.. in my opinion anyway - i think its more of a mockery.
Can you not get out of religious education with a note from your parents? Im sure you could when I was at school.
Re: at school we had RE but we were taught ALL religions, eveen tho our RE Teacher used to stand out side Stockport County's football ground with a wooden board strapped to him shouting the end is nigh and all that bollocks, so many ppl kicked off with him, i think he was sacked in the end for being such a fanatic kids used to go to county just to mock him and throw things, and as it was out of school he couldn't do anything lol. in some states of america the bible is taught as fact, they don't belieeve in evolution, bless em.
