Public schools need ethics, not religious education : Comments

By Glen Coulton, published 2/7/2010

Religion, especially Christianity, is not essential to the teaching and development of a sound ethical sense.

yes, yes, so dreadfully nasty,

That aside, got any *reason*, beyond flogging the product, why you might happen to regard "flood geology" highly?

Your philosophy course no doubt *also* taught you to go look up more than just one reference pro your own view, and to properly canvas the objections.

So, since you are therefore *aware* that "flood geology" is long debunked, despite endless reopening of the issue, why is tossing it in as if a fact *not* in fact lying? Misinformation is still misinformation, even if you did your darnedest to not know better.

If a "flood geologist" told me the sky was blue, I'd go check one more time. I suggest that you so examine any "fact" offerred to you by fundy literature or speakers.

Of course, if you *like* letting your religion be conflated with the most contemptible of fundamentalist lunacy then do, pray, continue to make this easy.

Real.

I know the nut jobs your on about, and fast lead is the only cure for the likes of bin larden and any-other fruit loop who wishes to die for there god.
I mean, to kill or hurt any-thing for the god of your choice is not exactly balanced is it. Its like the son of SAM murderer. HIS DOG/GOD TOLD HIM TO DO IT... AND I still believe religion is not healthy for the mind.

I see resilience, knowledge and balance as safety nets. The world will never be "as one" with religion.

As for the world as one........its more meant as a target for the human species, but your probably right, humans will just never learn.

The cave-man human knows nothing but to kill his own kind, Iam just hoping the next stage of evolution kicks in soon. smile.
