Australian Schools To Teach There Is No God

Sauce

I think this is an interesting move. For centuries we've been told from the day we're born that there's a God but finally Humanism is been given some time and consideration.

Edit: And before theists start ranting and flaming, this is an elective subject and parents can choose not to have their children in the clas s

wow thats a good move.

hmm wonder if the humanists and the christians will start fight at the school

Hmmm...guess that means there is no separation of church and state in Australia then.

I don't think religion or atheism should be taught in schools.DrSponge

Hmm...im seeing a double standard here... When school teach about the existence god, atheist go crazy over the issue, but now that a school is teaching against His existence you are all in support? Personally I believe in equality and I'm opposed to telling students God exists as I am at telling students that God doesn't exist. Let the kids make their own choice.II_Seraphim_II

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="kruesader"] I don't mind, it is just little things that annoy me, our politician's recite the Lord's Prayer or something before everyday in parliament. I think the education system is fine, I have gone to public school all my life and at each one have only been taught evolution, the change is only in regard to Religious Education classes, so I assume it is high-school kids being given the chance to hear the atheist viewpoint along with the study of various religions.Whicker89

EDIT LOL WHUT

[QUOTE="Whicker89"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Well atheism is merely the non belief in a God/Gods. It shouldn't need to be taught. If someone is taking a religious education class then that is what should be taught. That would be like taking calculus and having some Shakespeare thrown in. LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="sAndroid17"][QUOTE="Red-XIII"] I was in a private school and was forced to choose between Catholic Studies (which didn't count towards the HSC) and Studies of Religion 1 (Which did count) and in the end, Studies of Religion boiled down to more studying about Christianity. What a rip off.Whicker89

Criminals or not, they definitely weren't of European origin.
