School scraps Easter service to respect other religions

It might have been a nice idea to keep the Easter service, but also use it to discuss the close links between Christianity and Islam and the position of Jesus in both religions.

In reality, why should we have to do this? This is the problem with inclusion and our traditions in that we try to justify our traditions to others that do not follow them. How about just saying those that do not want to attend the service then just stay away until it is finished.
 
BTW, as always with Daily Fail articles, the truth of the matter is deeper in the article.

Perhaps DF readers have not got sufficient attention span.

Ok here is my point, I used to be very religeous in the Army, it somehow was in my head that if a padre said we are doing the right thing then how could it be wrong. That got quickly kicked out of me and I became a non believer. I would not however try to stop a church goer from believing and having faith, that is their right the same as a Muslim has the right to their beliefs. I wouldn't expect a Muslim service to include anything to do with other religions to justify their service. It seems that our rights and traditions are being comprimised all of the time.

Exactly, I think I read somewhere that there are more Mosques in Britain than churches.

That's right, if you go into a church it's mainly old people in a mosque lots of young people attend.

Cool.

But some religions justify blowing other people up and they'll be rewarded in heaven forever. Seems your ok with people being religious.
