Controversial: Religion

[Orcgasm]

I always considered myself agnostic. I go to church every Sunday, and I learn about it. It is quite interesting.

I've read the bible. It's quite the lulz

How much free time do you have?

Once you get past all the jesusy stuff, the bible has a lot of awesome stories. John the Baptist had his head cut off and served on a platter to the king, thats pro in my books.

Do you think public schools should teach religion, if so, why?

no

im not going to pay for my kid to have things i dont agree with shoved down his/her throat, and i sure as hell dont want my religion being shoved down other people's throats.

a big part of why people resent religious people is the door to door 8 am in the morning well dressed asshats trying to convince you that you should do things you dont want to do. spreading the word is fine, but its just working against you if you take too strong of an approach (like trying to teach it in public schools)

whatever makes you happy is what matters. for example i am agnostic but still for me church is relaxing and calms me. the priests boringness mixed with relaxing songs is great for sleeping too. if you're happy then why should you care about being right or wrong anyways...

respect other beliefs if they don't say your belief is "wrong." for example, i don't give a fuck if you're a diehard christian, if it makes you happy to be one, more power to you. if you think you're right, more power to you. but when you say that my view is wrong, that's when i might get testy or just troll the shit out of you.

that's what i've concluded upon

Eh, I can't stand my religion teachers..

most religion teachers do seem quite arrogant and/or stupid or they are just boring as hell

but i had one that was really good. i had him for Morality class. he was a calm guy who didn't really stress out about what people thought, and he set a great example for everyone. we tried to get him to tell his "sins", all we could come up with was him J-walking

All you will be paying is tax money, you don't have a say in what they teach. Home school or private school are your options if you want total control of your child's education.

i think you missed the point here

i dont want to pay taxes for a public school where kids will be taught a religion that not everyone believes in. whether i have a say in what kids can be taught has nothing to do with this. the thread itself is about whether certain things should be taught in schools

Theres no disproof? Lol?

there is a possibility that a higher being exists...can you disprove it?
