I'm going to start off by saying that I do not believe in a god or in gods, but I do believe in reincarnation. But I'm not one to judge ones opinion, because for all I know, I could be wrong and rot in hell. But this is all besides the point my question is:
Do you think religion should be taught openly in school?
What I mean by this is, yeah religion has to be taught in school, but by no means do I think that it should be opinionated. My example:
So in class (history/social studies) We were learning about
Judaism
Hinduism
Buddhism
Islam
and Christianity.
So while my teacher is explaining about Buddism and Hinduism (It's a small school where everyone is Christian but a select few) she decides to put a little twist and say,
'So if you don't live your life good enough than you could end up as a frog, just because your not good enough for their god' Then someone pipes up and said
'That's screwed up' My teacher?
'Yeah, it is, isn't it?'
When teaching religion, I don't believe you should put your wholehearted opinion in, especially if your a teacher. What do you think?
