Christianity....

[PalazioVecchio]

...is it under attack ?

Are they being thrown to the Lions again ? i thought we had got past that stage in its development ?

On the one hand i would deem this shocking. On the other, having experienced a lot of Christian fundamentalism, i can see both sides of the argument - and can understand how some Christians made some enemies along the way. Speaking as an atheist, its a curious conundrum. Love it or hate it, its an integral part of the history of the West. Does it have much future ? or is it headed for the same dustbin of history as Zeus, The Druids, Freya and whoeverdafeck the Aztecs worshiped.

answers on a postcard please.......

If Christianity is unlawful in schools then so to should the trans crap we have to put up with from the woke religion.

My stance is if you put your child into a Religious school expect to be taught religiously.

Perhaps the same logic should be applied to Muslim schools? No teaching of religion in them?

One of the principal bedrocks of division in Northern Ireland is the schools.

They are divided on faith - Catholic republican or Protestant unionist.

Banning religious indoctrination could be geared to that.

Whether this law is applied to the Mainland remains to be seen.

If so, yes it would apply to Muslim and Jewish schools etc.

Sure, but if you're going to do that then don't you dare take Easter breaks, celebrate Christmas etc. Can't pick and choose the nice bits of Christian tradition and eradicate the rest.

Can you imagine what would happen in the UK if muslim schools were banned?

I would imagine simialr from the Jewish community.

I assume the NI schools are govt schools as I am not sure if this could apply to private schools.
