Chickendude, he wasn't talking about himself, he was stating the rest of the stereotype the Chaplain gave for that "world view." I think that's what he meant anyway.

But yeah, do whatever you have to in order to get through school.

I just fall asleep during chapel. And they don't try the push it on us, the board of whatevers for my private school are just really old and big on Christianity.

Chickendude, maybe you should revise your own posts as well Anglicanism (i.e. Church of England) is pretty different from Angelicanism (Church of... Angels?) :P

In any case, I think the original poster was referencing various worldviews that he is being told are the only possible worldviews to have. Speaking of which, you mention a worldview #1 and a worldview #3, but where's the #2? o_O

Also, I went to an Episcopal school for a year (as I understand it, Episcopalianism is the non-English version of Anglicanism), and they were hardly as religiously conservative as the original poster or chickendude claim all such schools to be. Please don't generalize

ap is dead on. There's really not that much need for discussion here. >_>

If you don't like what's being preached, then find another school. IF you can't, well, I guess you're SOL. Sorry.

Hey um, I go to a private religious school too, and there always making me learn about that religion. What a conundrum. I have no idea why a religious school would make me learn about religion. What is up with that?

You can, but do it elsewhere.

We encourage debate and discussion in this forum.

Someone needs to come up with an acronym for that thing where you want someone to go away, and never talk again.

oh wait

Re: The Right to push your veiws on others

Ok, on to some more deep flameage.

A.) You go to a private, religion based school. Parents send their children there for the sole purpose of having religion forced upon them. You have several plans of action.
-Spend all your time pissing off your teacher by taxing their no-doubt weak knowledge of the formation of the earth, and it's containing societies.
-Get your parents to put you into real school.
-Submit. That's what stupid people do.

B.) I'm sure he was trying to create some amount of negativity to the reality of world views by giving them cute numbers. There is in fact a word for "world view 1". Secular: A nation is less secular, when the nation's laws/immigration/population/general governmental outlook are less seated in the religious views upon which they were founded.

The problem with this is westernization/modernization forces nations to move slowly toward more secular views. You'd be hard-pressed to find a person in the US that feels that Satanism is equally as right, or acceptable a religion as christianity- regardless of whether or not their nation's constitution tells them to. The US's forefathers were probably trying to create a nation that would be able to deal with changes in religion/world powers/technology. on paper they were very successful, but in reality- the US will never be truly secular if it's government remains in place. A most prevalent example of that today is gay marriage, underlying christian views outweighed what the constitution says. True, the government has successfully kept the majority of people happy, but in doing this it makes it harder and harder to modernize.

"Seperation of Church and State" does not exist in the US's documents word for word, it is an interpretation of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."

Turning that into Seperation of Church and State is interesting, because though one would think of it as a way to enforce secularism within the state, it has little more than placebo, and a visual effect. Even if explicitly the religion is not there, the underlying beliefs will be.



Wow, I don't think you deserved all that, but whatever.

Re: The Right to push your veiws on others

You are going to a private school. They have the right to "spiritually guide" you as much as they want. If a public school were forcing religion on you; or attacking religion senselessly, then there would be problems. but in private school they just have to fulfill certain government or collegeboard examination preparations and then whatever else they want will be taught.

Re: The Right to push your veiws on others

Oh, so in the states, Religious based schools are called Private ones?

All Religion based schools are Private, but not all Private schools are religion based.
