Well Joe, I'll take a lot of convincing that far too much of what is not certain isn't taught as certainties. Prayers, as previously and tediously discussed, seem to deal in certainties in their wording, and we all know how constant repetition can eventually erode doubt in the mind.

By the way, I taught in religious schools for 18 years, seven of them in a Catholic school with a fair contingent of priests and nuns at the helm, and there were plenty of obligatory church services, prayer assemblies and hymn-singing for the kids. Outrageously, I even taught religion for a year. It was in 1973 and much water has since gone under the bridge. Or down the plughole.
