Yes Keith it is.

Hence they have no place in a modern society.

(See earlier post)

A bloke in the pub reckons all "queers puffs and rag heads" should be castrated / deported whatever. If we gave him what he allowed.... He is entitled to his view, but society expects that politicians do not pander to every view of every potential voter. We see Bishops advising their flock that the government is wrong here, misguided there... No wonder politicians pander to old men in absurd costumes rather than real people.

As I said above, it isn't the doctrine and imaginary friend that works in some faith schools, it is disciple and parental support. You can get that without being reminded of the bigoted fairy at the bottom of the garden.

I got curious earlier so looked at a few attainment tables. It isn't quite the case that faith schools do better than rational ones, Keith. it just isn't..
