Hello Sailor!

When reason knocks on the door of an empty house, childish taunts are an effective calling card. However, pointing out that blasphemy is or isn't a crime, however technical, doesn't help. It is a crime in many countries., and as you and I are in different countries, thank Clapton, you should be more careful with your statements. In any case, it is sn example of how in the past religions have had privilege, and the UK state schools farce are an excellent example of political pandering.

I am not immoral any more than you are ugly. I haven't seen your face and you are no judge of my view. You can agree or disagree but if it takes telling a sanctimonious headteacher tthat you believe in fairies to get a good education for your child, the system has an issue, not the parent. I doubt you ever read the licence agreement for software despite clicking that you have done. I have yet to meet anybody who has, although some ruddy pedant here will claim they do.

They are not Christian schools, they have to teach on the basis that all and no religions are part of society. Whether a child has been raised to believe in things that are beyond the laws of physics is irrelevant.

Keith said something about lying for your children. So... when you tell them God exists and he is watching them, that isn't lying then? Increasing their paranoia and making them feel guilty about enjoying life isn't child abuse? telling them what to think instead of teaching them how to think isn't the saddest indictment you can think of?

I love hypocrisy. It teaches me never to get complacent. To always challenge the malign influence of those who advocate restricting others. Those who wish to judge and those whose so called faith is so fragile they think mocking reason is clever.

I'd pray for you but sadly, there is no one to hear it.
