So i go to a private Anglican school and at chapel the other Rev. Mee who is the college chaplin said and i quote " I am not here to push faith on you. I'm am here to spiritually develop you." But isn't that the same thing as push faith on you. We are required to take a Spiritual development class every week on thursday afternoons and we were told this had a very small part to do with the bible but... everything we do in the work book seems to go back to god. no offense to religious people or anything but im not a religious person and i veiw christianty the same as all the other religions, a explaination to un answered questions about how we came to be and the meaning of life. but what i think has crossed the line is the world veiws that Rev. Mee says that we have.
World veiw 1: + there is no god + life is a accident of nature; and is unfriendly, especially to me. +People arn't so special +Right and Wrong are mine to choose according to the circumstances + I see myself as a bit of a losser, my parents are not impressed with me; I Have little control over my life. So she is pretty much saying there if we dont belive in god we're losers and our parents dont like us but there's World veiw 3: +God exists, he powerfull, but close +Life was created by God, has meaning and purpose and is basically friendly +People are both good and bad. they are valuable and have body mind and soul +Right & Wrong come from God who will judge us according to our choices +i see myself as okay wuth quite a bit of control over my life; my parents love me. is this the right sort of message to be giving us, im in grade 11 so im 16 i can see threw her atempts at scaring us into faith but this is also taught to little kids from grade 6 up. so should we have to study this?
