This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Exactly. Grew up Christian and it convinced me to be agnostic. Even then, I still would never add religious beliefs to the teaching of children early in life, when they clearly lack intelligent decision making skills.
I think teaching about religion is fine and actually good for interacting with people outside your culture. Teaching of a specific religion is where you run into trouble.
I had a unit early on in school and another one in my early teens where we basically learned about the origins of a bunch of different religions and cultures surrounding them. Learned a lot about people that otherwise would seem unapproachable to me.
Yeah, are you ever convinced as an agnostic? I thought, that was the point.
i'd say it's totally logical to be 100% convinced that you can't be convinced of god's existence or non-existence
I wouldn't agree to the logical part, but sure. It was more a harmless joke than me trying to win an argument or something. =)
I didn't need those classes to know forcing religion onto others is the exact opposite of what Jesus wanted
