human history is replete with examples to prove that whenever religion becomes too important to people violence is right around the corner. The only countries that prosper and live in peace are those that learn to keep religion to its limits. If our education system is not broken in the religious sense, what is there to fix? we will simply be going backwards.

if religion starts creeping into the public education domain, sooner or later these so called religious characters will start preaching their own agendas, which in turn make this country no difference from middle eastern countries where religion has a strong hold in the education curriculum. most of these countries are graduating graduating as close minded bigots like we have in goliwog.
well I dont believe in religion as religion as i see religion as a set oif rules and rituals which without understanding has no meaning. For me being a christian is about showing love for others and having a heart of servanthood , it is not about preaching standards

Don't try to pretend your approach to education is humanist or reconstructionist, goliwog, because neither of those has anything to do with teaching religious values. You're incorrectly assuming 'religious values' prepare people for society, when in fact morals and ethics exist indepenently of religion.

I disagree ... look at the french revolution for example all that wonderful philosophical and diest thought turned transcending into mobs ! I think peace (as in no physical conflict) is to do with a combination of economic political and social problems. And inner peace is a completly different walk again if that is want you meant by peace.

There are 5 generic worldviews of education yours appears to be classical (teach students the academic subjects and achieve excelence) mine is more a mix of reconstructionist and humanist (humanist= letting students choose learning and reconstructionist is preparing people for society). Actually the current education system is a mix between humanism and classical education
:confused:

what Schroedinger said implies nothing about his views on education

he just correctly stated that no religion should have the right to state funding in a secular society :confused: :confused: :confused:

this thread is pointless. Schroedinger, Slidey etc etc are saying the same shit over and over again. goliwog just doesn't understand "secular".

No, it isn't. It's faux spiritualist drivel in an attempt to foist christianity upon the citizenry.

You've already got tax exempt status for churches, chaplains are not needed. The government does not exist to provide a 'spiritual' fix for its citizens.

Stop dressing this up for what it is, we have created secular government out of the failed remnants of government/church interrelations which lead to bigotry and corruption beyond imagination.

I'm sorry but that era is in the past.
You do have a negative perspective of the church in general, and there have been bigots, but the real church is about love , and real christians are always looking for ways to show love to one another. And when you show love and compassion there is a special joy that you feel. That joy deserves to be offered to anyone

you gotta give 2 thumbs to goliwog for one thing....he hasn't gone wacko/psychotic, like my fellow Muslim brothers do on here after a heated debate.


lol.

but still, religion should be separated from schools.....stating that it will make a person better, jesus loves you etc etc blah blah is not a good reason.
