Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

Discussion in 'Religion and Spirituality' started by nitro, Dec 19, 2015.

  1. I would suggest basically No for all schools including religious schools. Impractical, isn't it?

    However/therefore a "Religions Review" with same/standard/identical contents would be optional/elective for all schools including all religious schools. Including a small % time for a school to teach their own religion.

    It's not a Comparative Religion course at all.

  2. OddTrader,

    I am curious : were you raised in any religious setting? if so which one?
    if not: how comes you discuss about religion?

  3. I think everyone should be/feel free to discuss religion(s).

    The impact of religion historically to the society/world has been too great to be ignored. Particularly about religion wars! Killing too many innocent lives, children included!

    I am quite interested in peacebuilding issues, religion hence included! Just a starter anyway!

  4. I was asking because many people have had a bad - and I mean really bad- religious education, thus have developed a lot of negatives toward religion.

    Peacebuilding is a very good thing. What is the main things that make peacebuilding difficult?

  5. I don't know. But everyone should be able to do her/his part (s)he thinks fit!

    Probably lack of investments/developments in 3 interrelated areas:

    - Knowledge/Research/Analytics!
    - Long-term systemic/dynamic modelling (economics, politics, resources, taxes, etc.)!
    - Education/Poverty/Equality!

    What do you think? Your interests in any of them?

  6. These areas seem to cover the various aspects.
    Yes, of course I am interested about these areas.
    Here are few things that might of interest to you:


    and


    These could be helpful tools in peacebuilding.

    Oh, but that's nonsense.
    If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Alice in Wonderland

    Creation myths don't confirm scientific theory.:rolleyes: In the beginning, at big bang, there was no light and nothing to make the heavens and the Earth from, no waters of the deep and no vaults below .

    Religious sects are the subdivisions of larger religious groups. It's all religion.
