School scraps Easter service to respect other religions

[MNW67]

I'm from Birmingham, on my drive to work I pass two churches that are now mosques it's really heartbreaking to see.

What is heart breaking about that?

Would that be allowed in Turkey? Or Dubai?

No idea. Do you want to be like them?

I just think we are losing our country bit by bit.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

When was this exactly?

When we started letting soy munching liberals and women run the place and it's now turned UK into a pathetic joke.

Cool.

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

I have no problem with religion and those that follow them, I do have a problem with people being blown up in the name of religion. Religion is personal to those that have faith. An easter service is not telling people to blow themselves and others upin order to get to heaven.

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.

Because it helps both faiths understand the other. Especially the parts they have in common. I think that can only be a good thing.

Put that into RE not into a service

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

Quite a few private houses (potentially thousands) are registered Mosques. The legal requirement is that the building only needs 20 regular worshippers to register as a place of worship.

Places of worship are exempt from council tax.

My house is now a place of worship.

Those two statements are at odds with each other. As a great man once said, religious people can play with their toys if they wish, but don't make me, or others, p[ay with them.

That's the reason Druids lobbied to make their beliefs a religious faith, in order to recieve tax exemption. Caused quite a kerfuffle in left-wing circles, i can tell you.

Basically what I have said, I said those that do not wish to attend the easter bunny service may stay away?

Well they aren't push overs are they?

An area in Birmingham called sparkhill, I had to take my mrs to a doctors there last week, it's like a different world you wouldn't believe me unless you went there.

That's not integration.

are you asking a question in regard to your own statement?
Puzzling.
