School scraps Easter service to respect other religions

[MNW67]

I don’t support anything like that.

But, what’s wrong with a bit of faith in a mystical person

Probably better than following an influencer on YT.

Religion gives people hope and belief

There’s certainly a few people on here that see Trump as the Messiah.

Trump is the new religion, prey to the orange one

Do you put holy water in the heating systems…..

Nah not yet

 

[pete01]

Too clever for me.

Haha, nice

But is the same going to apply to other festivities

Probably. That's what the statement implied

I just explained why. Some justify their murderous acts with it. Some Christians promote slavery because the book says so. It isn't harmless fun.

who would they be, pray tell..

 

[denso13]

who would they be, pray tell..

Fundamentalists mostly. There are 45,000 Christian denominations all believing slightly different versions of the "truth".

Huge stumbling block for me, you either believe it or you don't. You don't get to pick and choose the good bits 45,000 alternate ways.

 

[noseall]

that isn't a main stream religion though is it.

Millions of white folk spouting off that they have a God given right to carry guns and act out their racist, violent version of Christianity, is certainly mainstream enough for them.

"Jesus will come back with an AR15 rifle..." ffs.

You can do both.

Religion should be less prominent in schools. I'd prefer it to be removed entirely.

Have you thought through the consequences of this draconian act?

You’re such a sceptic.

All religions have bad parts, every single one. Most just follow the good bits.

 

[denso13]

Most just follow the good bits.

Yes, but not all unfortunately.

I'd imagine the people responsible would end up beheaded.
