Should religion be compulsorily taught in schools?

Hey,....if we can have politics rammed down our throats on a daily basis, then why not religion. ?

Morality is doing what’s right regardless of what you’re told. Obedience is doing what you’re told regardless of what’s right....What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.

I wouldn’t call it unfair and unwarranted, Mike.

I would rather call it rude and unnecessary.

Jean is just as entitled to express an opinion as anyone else who pays their subscriptions on FR.

I have noticed on more than one occasion that when someone has objected to something you have said both Colin and yourself have suggested that if they don’t like your views then they shouldn’t bother to read them.

Perhaps you should remember your own advice?

One session of abusive postings has only just been put to rest. PLEASE don’t let another bout of nastiness start.

Alright Pamela, You castigate Mike for warning Jean & claim she has the right to state her views as a paying member of FR, how come you never offer me the same courtesy, a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black I do believe.

A situation may be desperate but never serious

Alright Owen, I seem to remember you having a few ’words’ with Jean the last time she was on.

I had more than a few Scouse..... and I found her to be quite an interesting lady.

That, Owen, I agree with.......but in reverse. I would prefer neither!
We are not talking about religion per se though, are we?
Cast your minds back to the offending period. Jean just loved to batter all and sundry with her beliefs....HER BELIEFS, I would remind you. Not mine nor quite a few others. However, when we attempted to enter into discussion with her regarding the legitimacy of Christians and Atheists, she would NEVER give a response on the latter. It was total tunnel vision. Only Christianity was real, nothing else existed. Now, I keep hearing....and again today...about how people have a right to their opinion. Jean was allowed to over extend her opinion at a cost to the rest of us.

Time cures all ills they say. Well, it doesn’t and I am sure that we are all old enough to have learned that the hard way.

Damnant quod non intellegunt.
