GCSE blasphemy
I was 15 years old in 1990, at a school that had Religous Education as a compulsory subject for GCSE. I had realised long ago that I did not buy into the whole 'God thing', and felt that spending my time in lessons about how great God is wasn't what I wanted.
I was sat in the mock exam for GCSE RE and really couldn't be bothered. One of the questions asked us to give recount a quote that Jesus had said whilst nailed to the cross. I hadn't done any revision so used my initiative. My answer was simple - "OUCH"
The dude had just had iron spikes put through his hand, something that i guess must have smarted a tad!
Anyway, once the exam had been marked I was told to attend the head masters office with the head of RE, an ancient old god botherer who didn't see the humour. I was suspended from school for 3 days. Luckily my parents found it hilarious and I came back to school a legend.

Religious Effluence
That's an entirely pathetic attitude for the school to take. My RS GCSE was about philosophy and ethics - we had to know the Christian perspective, but were encouraged to question and object to it.
Well done you though.
