Men prefer debt-free virgins without tattoos

The difference between fundamental Christian and the Taliban is only that the Taliban have the power to force their religious views on others!

I don't entirely agree. From the age of 5 to 18, attendance at a morning service was compulsory at school, in the UK. For all I know, it still is. We also had to attend one lesson a week of religious "education" up until the age of 14.

The christians have at least advanced from burning their enemies at the stake, but they still have much work to do in becoming more tolerant and recognizing their views have no place in schools, or anywhere near impressionable young people.

I had the misfortune to be sent tor a Roman Catholic Preparatory School.

We had compulsory football or cricket for 2 hours every day and on Saturday were forced to attend and watch school matches against other schools.

As goji implies we had religion forced down out throats every day. At weekends I was marched off to Sunday School and then Mass at the local church.

It had one great benefit which was to put me off sport and religion for life. So it wasn’t a total waste of time!

That's awful! I never liked ball games, but during school and army had to participate in a total of about 20 football games. At school there was no way out, at the army they quickly realized that I'm of no use and let me run in the stadium instead.

We had Saturday morning school in the GDR, and the best thing for me about the fall of the wall wall that Saturday morning school was abandoned in it's course (or rather shortly before, I vaguely remember an announcement by Margot Honecker, then minister of education in the GDR). I liked to sleep long; having to wake up for school on Saturday morning, but no school in the afternoon, made no sense to me.

I escaped a subject at school LER (Lebensgestaltung-Ethik-Religion, in English approximately lifestyle-ethics-religion) by a few years. I never liked those soft subjects, rather preferred natural sciences.
