tony: just my opinion... I had religion rammed down my throat in primary school. I have turned out ok. I am not a religous nut, I am very culturally aware, i am completely non-racist or prejudiced... we grow up, we make our own decisions about whether church and god is our thing or not... it not my thing regardless of what was taught to me in school. but I'll say one thing, it has made me a well rounded, morrally adjusted person.
being taught religion in school is the least of the worlds problems. at least it doesnt preach hatred, racisim or in the cae of the movies in the first post that the world is ending and we are all doomed and we are all about to fry.
er.. once again, just my opinion
Very good point Ving. I am a Buddhist but I am more than happy to allow my daughter Nadia to attend religion classes at school which are essentially Christian based. Why? because as you said Ving, it will make Nadia a well rounded and morally adjusted person I also want my daughter to grow up being a non racist, tolerent and compassionate person.
