School scraps Easter service to respect other religions

Being indoctrinated would be being told that one religion is the truth. Studying would be looking objectively and impartially at what different religions believe. I would really have enjoyed learning about religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism at school. Also, I believe it would be very helpful for children to learn about the common links between the Abrahamic faiths.
you obviously never attended a Catholic school.
 
Religion should only be taught in schools given a simple proviso...

That proof of any imaginary friend actually existing is provided...

Otherwise there are plenty of places that the foolish can allow themselves to be indoctrinated, but keep the kids in school out of the lunacy of 'religion'!
Do you not feel lucky that you live in a country where you are free to say that openly? I mean, would you go to the equivalent of speakers corner in say, Afghanistan or Iraq, jump up on your soap box and say that in public? Nah, you wouldn’t. I bet you thank God that you can hide behind that computer screen of yours too. :wink:
 
Time for your regularly scheduled reminder that Christianity is declining in the UK. Less than half the population identify as Christian and if trends continue Atheist/no religion will be the single largest group in the next Census


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

So that makes it ok then.
 
That’s exactly where it’s all going.

It is certainly true that many fewer people are taking up Christianity. I would imagine that the reasons are very complex. My feeling is that it is unlikely that schooling plays a big role.
 
Believers are doing it themselves. They are rejecting religion.
To remove Easter and have a celebration for refugees sums the uk up.

Have a refugee day, I’m all for that. Keep Easter though.
 
Fillyboy posts his usual disgusting lies.

That’s just 2 people who were known to each other.


That was house fire it was a flat above a takeaway.

Fillyboy disgustingly tries to claim a house fire is evidence of a problem with ethnic minorities.


Fillyboy the Muslim hating racist spreads misinformation and lies……no more than I would expect from a Trump supporter. A liar supporting a liar
You do not know how that fire was started, you only believe a local paper that nobody reads anymore. If you actually had any experience of the area you would know what it is like and not believe everything that you read. Spring bank in Hull is reported as a multi cultural nice place to live, most of the attacks are not reported down there because it incites more violence and causes racism problems and is therefore played down. They also claim that the nice multi cultural residents have taken over the empty shops and are doing the area a favour. When in actual fact the shops were closing down one by one because the area became overtaken by these imigrants. They then took over each shop as it became vacant. The reality of this is that it is an area that these imigrants have completely taken over and do not believe that they have integrated with the local population, that is simply not the case. You believe whatever you want to believe but I live in Hull and have local knowledge of the area which is more than you who simply reads a snippet from a local news paper playing down the area and portraying it as a mulit cultural heaven.

I’m not disputing that. But to stop celebrating Easter is a too far.

Next there won’t be any Easter eggs.

Nor do you, nor does Filly.

most of the attacks are not reported down there because it incites more violence and causes racism problems and is therefore played down.
Most fights that happen in every town on a Friday and Saturday night by white chavs aren’t reported.

When in actual fact the shops were closing down one by one because the area became overtaken by these imigrants
Opinion stated as fact.

If you want to make that claim, please provide the supporting evidence.

They then took over each shop as it became vacant.
I had heard that shops have been closing because of the rise of on line shopping and out of town retail parks.

But apparently that’s not true Highway Man says the real cause is ethnic minorities.

You believe whatever you want to believe but I live in Hull and have local knowledge of the area
You are a Trump supporting, Reform party supporting Xenophobe, so what you are expressing is cognitive bias not evidence.


Here’s a thought for you: crime and poverty are connected, the Daily Mail creates the narrative that crime and skin colour are connected.

A mate o' mine lives in Hull and has no problems at all with the immigrant folk who settled in t'city.
You're making it up.
