    Dark Mingwall? (aka Grandmaster Suck).


    He certainly is as bigotted and dense. You could be him.

    I'm not generalising and certianly not saying that Catholic schools breed bigotry (brought up a Catholic hard for me to say that), I just believe that teaching religion (any religion) should be emoved from "state" schools.

    Many people who agree with, say a catholic education system, would be against a Muslim education system.

    Same argument you provide, the school teaches Islam as it main religion (and has daily prayers - like we had weekly mass etc) but delivered a wide view on all other religions.

    Right, this doesn't seem a bad thing - would it be allowed - not a chance. People bang on about "non British" people (white mainly) not integrating into our society and would see an Islamic state school as a bad thing - it teaches segregation.

    In my opinion, doing this for any religion, does exactly that. Leave religious teaching to the Priest /Rabbi /Imam / Witch doctor / Shaman! Or to your parents!

    Schools teach facts/proven theory ... religion is a belief! Don't mix them!

    I went to a catholic school along with non-catholics we battered all them unbelievers and took their dinner money every day. Until Jossef got too big then we use to get him to jump in for our carryout.

    I get where you are coming from. But schools are there to educate.....not teach proven facts only. As long as there is balance in what they educate then its a good thing? I learnt more about and learnt more tolerance towards other religions AT school than i'd ever have learnt otherwise from Priests or even my parents to be honest.

    Ok, I'll make my opinion clear...

    I don't belive there is a place to teach religion in schools or to have schools set up to cater for one main religion...

    Catholic schools are not the only faith based schools. That is how you are wrong.
