she has a point though, Alcohol does have spirit!__I used to think "only in America" but I think that is a complacent view these days. This is mental and physical abuse, completely and utterly.

"We come here to civilise people, get them to come out of the darkness and injustice into the beauty of Islam.".
LOL, shucks! Oh hang on, the wife looks quite good with the Eiderdown chucked over her head, these guys might have a point!

the whole idea of "gay" lessons is really stupid though, it's a bit like giving lessons on "Why it is important to go to the Toilet"... what's the point?
And... religious schools should be banned.

Typical yet awful post. When I read this though my first thought was Why oh Why did we have to follow the Americans into Iraq and why weren't some top politicians made to pay with their careers for the lies and deception that was used to get us there..... mind you, not that it would have stopped this guy doing this whatever. Depressing.

golly gosh, judging from the description of Baby BeBop I think I'll have a cup of tea and give it a miss. I'll however miss out also on the quotation from a much worse book full of extraordinarily awful suggestions for living life. Why not try "Asterix the Gaul", that's much more fun than either Baby BeBop or any holy bollocks.

"In Saudi Arabia and other countries where the genders are rigorously separated, many men have their first sexual experiences with other men"
This is one hell of a statement. What evidence is there of this?

Sontyground, actually I remember "RE" being great fun at CoE Primary School (early 70's) mostly because it consisted of singing hymns, which I loved (the words were irrelevant to me) and beating each other up at cub scouts. It was the Catholic senior school that completely screwed it all up. Every week I went through three lessons worth of complete drivel, although your experience really takes the biscuit, copying out latin, LOL, great stuff.

honesty, justice, compassion and courage? Well I can remember being forced to spend an entire lesson doing benediction (sitting quietly in front of a wafer of bread and venerating it.. no kidding) and then because us 15 year olds had behaved badly in the "lesson" the whole class got a detention for the next day. Honestly, where is the justice and compassion in that? I should have had the courage to stand up and say "this is nonsense", but I didn't.

can someone explain HOW a 5 month old kid gets chosen? Do his parents have to be into the faith? Maybe it's the same "Holy Spirit" that helps the cardinals choose the Pope!
