Thread Name: BS:Christian Persecution? School funding in Israel
Subject: RE: BS:Christian Persecution? School funding in Israel
Seems to me that since the State of Israel is so clearly dominated by Judaism, it would only make sense to allow Christians and Muslims to have their own schools, supported by taxpayer money. And note that these schools are generally half Christian-half Muslim.

And Steve, regarding your statement: Religious instruction is anti-education because it teaches uncritical thinking, the very antithesis of the word education - it ain't necessarily so. The Catholic seminary I attended stressed critical thinking, not indoctrination. Critical thinking is a primary emphasis in Jesuit schools. And many other religious schools strive to teach their students to think deep and to consider all possibilities.

You and some others seem to see only a world of ideology and propaganda, so you think that everyone is as mind-controlled as you are. It's not like that in real life, even among religious people.
