Description
In regards to: [link]Why? Because...:
-We already have schools for that
-The schools would get in trouble with their parents for forcing a religion on their kids
-Children wouldn't have a choice in what to believe in
-And again, it takes away rights
Instead, let's teach science and/or evolution instead of religion, besides, they're more valuable to learn and are worth learning anyway.

Conversion cam- i mean religious schools are just giant opportunities for kids to become everything that is badly sterotypical anyway. Religion shouldn't be a teaching method, it should be a teaching topic, as knowing of several religions and their culture allows for more open mindness. My grandma was raised strictly Christian and thinks all other religions are untrue and fake. And that all Muslims are r*pists.

my school teaches neither evolution or religion

That's what I loved about my high school's World History Class. There was a term in it where we studied all of our world's manor religions/theologies, their denominations and some lesser known religions. So you got to explore the basic structures and belief systems more openly alongside having a Biology class that taught the theory of evolution. Everybody got a sprinkle of everything and nothing was forced, just studied.

There's literally churches, you can go to every Sunday and Wednesday. For that, what's the point of teaching it in public schools? Hell, what's even the point of religious schools? Like I said before, there's a church you can send your children to. If you care so much, about teaching them about religion? I mean, I still think we could teach about religion in general. ( Just make it unbiased, and also teach about Evolution to. So children can have a choice.) Most of the time though, I usually see people who. Want religions, in public schools want their religion only.Β

Would you say the same about evolution? Children wouldnβt have a choice in what they believe? Just asking not looking for a fight.

Evolution ain't polar opposite of bible. All over world children learn about evolution and only small fraction learns about bible.Β
And evolution is not something you might or might not believe, it's scientific fact.
π: 2 β©: 1
No it is not fact at all. Even Darwin at the end of his life said there was no evidence for his theory. Β Also that didnβt really answer my question.

It doesn't matter what he said. He lives pretty long time ago. Today we've got plenty of ways to prove evolution and even it control.
In my lab I let bacteria evolve in certain ways to see, how does it compete.

Actually we have plenty of way to disprove it.

Darwin on trial, Radio replies, The evolution hoax exposed. They explain why it doesn't make senses.

Then how do you explainΒ bacterial phylodynamics?

Well as for as I know there is nothing about it that contradicts what I've said. Some evolution(in that sense) isn't against creation.
Hope then answers you question not can you please go ahead and answer mine.

If religion shouldn't be forced on children and we should let the child make up their own mind then world you say the same about evolution?
π: 0 β©: 1
Evolution is proven fact while religions are form of psychological warfare made to control populations.

What absolute nonsense. Clearly you know nothing about my religion and have no intention of giving me an answer.(although I already know what it is) You are just dodging the question. We are done.

One day your religion and god will be completely forgotten.

LOL yeah thatβs what people like you have been saying for well over a thousand years.

Pretty sure any religion changes over 1000 years.Β Apostolic age christianityΒ is different religion than catholic christianity.
Anyway, what are some scientific proofs of creationism?

I know you didn't ask me, but I'd like to put my two cents.
In my opinion, I think we could teach about both. Religion and evolution in schools. Just don't make, either biased. Or force children, to believe in either. Just talk about them, and let the kids decide themselves. Or just don't talk about, neither in schools, and just have parents talk about it with their kids.Β

Forcing somebody to believe in something is just pointless. Itβs not believing if itβs forced. I agree with you there my friend.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, if anything forcing someone to believe something. Usually just makes them, angry. In the end, it's kinda counterproductive.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed it is. Donβt get me wrong Iβm not saying one shouldnβt tell others what they believe and why they believe but forcing it on someone isnβt the answer.

In all seriousness, it would go against the First Amendment.

"Teaching the Bible"
Me: "Today, we shall be analyzing the Bible as a piece of liturature and NOT a sacred text. Why? The King James Version, the most common version, has many obsolete terms and definitions, which may cause confusion. It also uses archaic terms. The whole point of this unit is to look at a common text from an academic perspective. That means, like I said, we are going to treat it like a normal book (although some of you might already think that.) Anyone with a permission slip saying one is optioning out will do a similar unit."
I don't know, maybe it's a Theology class.

My U.S. Teacher thinks laws should be passed based on christian principles. He is also a "Christian Pasteur" and prays in the name of Jesus Christ. He even mentioned Abraham (not Lincoln) quite a few times.

coming from someone who is forced to go to a religious school I agree so much,

It happened in my primary school...It wasn't a religious school, but in kindergarten and up we had "scripture" and, as someone who grew up to be an anti-theist, I couldn't be more pissed off that I was learning something that I despise, much less, didn't get a say in! -_-

Β Well, our teatchers did tell us that its our choice to believe what we believe.Β Once our science teatcher talked about the scientific and religious beliefs and how school teatches us both, leaving us to choose our path.
Β I love religious studies as a lesson itself, its interesting to learn about cultures and beliefs. Also, at least here (?), if the parents agree, a student will be able to skip the lesson.

I'm surprised that despite how Christian my school is, we've never been taught about the bible. The most we do is stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance.
π: 0 β©: 1
(Old comment is old sorry to reply)
That's very interesting! Did your school have some kind of elective bible class?
The pledge of allegiance is more a pledge to your nation itself than any particular religion. All of my public schools had us do it too. Yes it contains the "under god" part but that was also added in after the original version.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I know, I just meant that that's really all our school (I've actually moved up a grade since then so I'm no longer in that school) participates in. I know there were a couple teachers that did bible studies but the one who did it after school has since moved to online classes.

It's interesting to hear of a religious school that pushes their religion to the background. I've never attended one but I've heard from friends who did and your one seems to be the odd one out, in regards to that. Granted I've been out of school for almost 6 years so maybe it's a newer thing, or maybe its a private school vs our founder was religious, so it's there if you want it, thing. Still interesting to know though.

Is that a good thing?

I mean I think so. It's not bad just not heard of from my experience.

Unless, of course, it's a Christian school. We should teach about religions, but not THAT way.

If someone said that schools should teach the Qur'an, Americans would flip their shit. THE DOUBLE STANDARD STIKES AGAIN.
