Can I threadjack to get some opinions?
My dear daughter has spent half term saying things like "My teacher says God is everywhere" and "My teacher says God is in us all" so I sent a carefully worded email to the school naming no names just asking if the school has any religious affiliations as we were under the impression they didn't and we didn't think it appropriate for a teacher to teach that any one religion is real as there are 21 major world religions and we don't believe in any of them.

They have emailed back asking me to name names but I am not sure I am comfortable doing so, I just want them to clarify whether or not they are a daft school full of invisible sky wizard worshipers.

What would jesus you do?

I wouldn't worry about it.
Trying to stop your child from learning about peoples ideas of religion is doomed to fail, just teach her sarcastic responses.

All our RE teachers were tremendous god botherers, which meant it was just Christian Education

It's the complete opposite nowdays, at my sons school they can't even mention Christmas
in case it upsets someone.

Again, not bothered about religious education
I am bothered that the teacher is telling our kid that her own beliefs are the correct ones
( Peej, Mon 3 Jun 2013, 9:43, Reply)

Has she not asked you what you believe?
I explained it to my son along the lines of some people believe this, but I don't.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Jun 2013, 9:45, Reply)

No
Thats whats bothering me, because we have told her not to worry as there is no God and explained why some people believe. But this week she is saying "My teacher says......" and "My Teacher doesn't lie"

I don't have a problem with her learning about religions
We taught her about different religions and what they do at Christmas. I just don't like a teacher telling her God is real. Kids believe their teachers.

Just keep telling Annakin that particular teacher told you privately that they thought Annakin was a cunt
and that they should therefore disbelieve everything that comes out of their mouth.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 3 Jun 2013, 9:46, Reply)

Hmmmm but then she won't believe the stuff that is real
Like the Earth is flat and gays are immoral.

Name names, Peej.
It's the only way thay'll learn to keep their opinions to themselves.

Most schools tend to sneak a bit of Jesus in somewhere.
What annoys me is that when learning about religion they never seem to cover atheism.
You could buy your daughter this: www.amazon.com/books/dp/1451675046
But I wouldn't really worry about it - kids tend to grow up believing what you believe.

Ask the school for the proof that Jeebus is everywhere and if they aren't able to provide it
Request that they stop teaching it.

Yeh but the trouble there is I can't prove that it wasn't me that committed all those murder rapes
But it doesn't mean they didn't happen.
