Quite true..

And the right of the Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Shinto, Buddhist, Pagan and all the rest of the town...that all pay their Taxes.

Tell me; after fulfilling all the religious needs of the community, without catering to just one...what time is actually left to teach the subjects that they will need.

My comments re RE( ) in schools was more in response to this whole "religion has no place in schools" position that I was seeing. It is something which I fundamentally disagree with. It has no place being imposed, agreed. However it has a place where it is what the parents want.

I had also said that they should teach RE, so that people dont discriminate or insult other religions/cultures unknowingly. That is not the same as teaching the Bible, which i disagree with. I remember in my 1st year of School handing the Bible i was given back to the Teacher, and getting a right old bollicking...

Why? 'Coz i wasnt a Christian and didnt want to be taught the Christian Scriptures. It was my opinion then and still is, that it is none of the schools business what Religion i am, and they shouldnt forcefeed me the religion of the RE teacher :no:

religion dosnt belong in public schools.

if you want your kids to learn there religion send to a catholic or jewish or what ever school.

personally im only in a catholic school casue my friends are there, and the scheice teachers love proving the bible wrong

teaching RE in regards to differing religions and their beliefs is fine...i agree with this as a way to promote tollerance... but teaching actual scriptures i have a problem with. teaching this is wrong or this is right "because God says so" i disagree with.
Parents don't have to take their kids to a religious school for religious education. Certainly here there are plenty of bible classes in the evenings and weekends where if parents wish the child can learn.

I am an athiest.... my son is not...the other 2 are too young to understand. I have tollerance for anyone that has religious beliefs..with ONE exception...when they try to force those beliefs on others.
I will never tell someone that god doesn't exist even though i don't believe he does. Nobody can prove god exists...nobody can prove he doesn't.

oh no..... i am sure he doesn't exist...i just have tollerance of others believing

If you are an athiest and there is a god, you will probably rot in hell
If you beleive in god but there isnt a god nothing really will happen to you.

better to stay on the safe side

If there is a God, then im sure he wouldnt suffer from the Cardinal Sin of Pride to such an extent that he would demand he be worshipped or even believed in.
