UK Faith schools


In the rest of Europe all schools may offer religion but they are public schools so you do not need to take the religion class. You may need to take an ethics class.

Of course, here in Ireland, most of the primary schools are still controlled (effectively) by the Catholic Church, which leads to all sorts of nonsense even though the level of religious interference is nowhere near as great as it could be.

God made special atoms on earth that looked like they had been around for billions of years. Then he sent light to reach earth from stars that appeared to have been around for billions of years. It's a bit confusing as I don't know which are the fundies at times:

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Sorry, Ronja, been delayed. I'll get on it. I have to order some windshield wipers first. Off the net, cheaper.

God is hiding again, as before. I found a pen and a quarter in my car between the seat and center console. He could be there, at least I see two lifesavers I could not reach.
