There are people on here who are intolerant of Christians and people who are intolerant of Muslims. I do not mean to sound intolerant of anyone and I sincerely apologise if anything I have said has given anyone that impression. |
Re: you will pray to Allah
OK Less, I've read all my posts up to the one of yours where you said I had an unChristian attitude and I can't seem to find anything in any of them which could be what you are referring to. I am genuinely perplexed. If you don't want to help me out by pointing it out to me perhaps someone else can see it and show me.
The very first thing I said was in post #17: Quote:

Re: you will pray to Allah
I found nothing in your posts to object to, Willow. Your views were no different to those of many who accept the beliefs of others while feeling unable to share them.
I'm agnostic, myself, educated in catholicism, by my R C mother, and brought up by my agnostic father to detest intolerance in any form. In fact it's one thing I just can't tolerate. (Sorry - I couldn't resist that ;)). |
Re: you will pray to Allah
:D I know it sounds daft but I know what you mean. Intolerance bugs me too.

I never did Latin at school but I can remember the words to Adeste Fidelis and the Hail Mary and Our Father in Latin. I can still remember parts of the mass in Latin and I was never an alter boy. Why because it was drilled into me whilst still very young and I consider that I was brain washed starting at a very young age. It was only when I started at the Ossy Tech that I was able to start to throw off the shackles of religious indoctrination and finally managed after I joined the navy. Even in the intervening years as a scout with the Loyola Troop based at the Sacred Heart church in Accrington the Catholicism was reinforced. It was all the religious mumbo jumbo that saw me leave the scouts and join the Air Training Corps. Get the kids young enough or plant a seed and there is a good chance you have them for life or at least until they wise up. Do the teachers make the kids re-enact Marco Polo’s adventures in the Far East? |
Re: you will pray to Allah
My two children and my grandaughter attended what I would describe as Christian schools, grandaughter attending a Catholic college in Leeds.
Son took Religious Education at G.C.S.E. level, and grandaughter just done her A-level in this subject. They are all atheists (not my doing .. have made their own minds up), neverless, enjoyed this subject tremendously. Not what it used to be, covers all angles of religion and how it affects people's lifes, socially, geographically, movement of people, historically, affects on the world (yes, wars, etc) and how they relate to their fellow human beings. This has been helpful to my son who followed a Planning career, and grandaughter who seems to be interested in Psychology/Politics .. :rolleyes: I think by looking at all aspects of people's 'grouping' in the world of beliefs, has given them a better understanding in readiness for future employment. I believe that by participating in all aspects of this subject it has given them more tolerance to those that are prejudice to other people's beliefs. |
Re: you will pray to Allah
I think that Religious Studies at A'Level is more like a philosophy course anyway.

Re: you will pray to Allah
Learning about other religions is a different ball game to taking part in the rituals of a religion especially when no choice was offered.
Then taking retribution by awarding detention is a step too far. That teacher should be sacked. |
Re: you will pray to Allah
What a load of old codswallop!

Re: you will pray to Allah
*LOL* @ teacher should be sacked. it was a school practical - not aushwitz prison camp!

Re: you will pray to Allah
I dont think she should be sacked and i dont think the kids should have got detention.... they were well within their rights to refuse....
I mean no offence to anyone when i say.......You shall have no other Gods but me. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it. (commandments 1&2) |
