DAWKINS - Religious School Are Wicked

Faith Schools And Children's Rights - Richard Dawkins - The Big Debate - BBC

Jonathan Dimbleby and a panel of experts come together to debate the controversial subject of religion in Britain's schools.

The role of religion in education is a subject rarely out of the headlines. Despite Britain's multi-faith society, schools are still required to include a collective act of worship of a Christian nature, while faith schools and religious academies have raised fears about community cohesion and covert selection.

Claims by some religious educationalists that faith is the best way to teach moral values is challenged by others in schools who believe religious morality to be outdated and dangerous.

Dimbleby is joined by Professor Richard Dawkins, Schools Select Committee chairman Barry Sheerman MP, and a multi-faith studio audience.

Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He was voted Britains leading public intellectual by readers of Prospect magazine and was named one of Time Magazines "100 Most Influential People" for 2007. Among his books are "The Selfish Gene", "The Blind Watchmaker", "Climbing Mount Improbable", "Unweaving the Rainbow", "A Devils Chaplain", "The Ancestors Tale", and the New York Times best seller "The God Delusion".

Once again, Richard Dawkins hits the nail on the head.

[ChoasTheory2000]

Dawkins owns once again... these slimey religous leaders have nothing backing their claims but empty rehtoric.

Dawkins, you are right on. Catholics teach that if one gives the child to the church for the first five years of their life, the child will remsin Catholic all their life. I was raised such. The good Chistians of the world have cured me of Christianity. D. Alexandr D'Maddalena

@glendaweil soo have you thought of an answer yet its been 4 days and you still got nothing

[glendaweil]

@ianul28 Well progress finally acceptance of your condition is the first step.

[ianul28]

@glendaweil sorry i dont see any christians in the mirror lets say im the dumbass , explain how did moses get in an ark over 3000000 insects , animals etc , how did they survive after the flood with no plants since it would take a long time to survive and how in hell did they manage to repopulate the whole world back to about 6 billion people from 2 persons and be different races =.= tell me the smart answer for that question =.= since im the dumbass and my dumbass answer is never happened

[glendaweil]

@ianul28 You have the freedom to express whatever idiotic bs you want, and unlike you I can follow more than one subject and discuss it at one time and you calling someone dumbass is rich try looking in the mirror and you will see what dumbass really looks like.

[ianul28]

@glendaweil there is also freedom to not have to listen to dumbasses like u everyday in the morning to accept god in our hearts , i have also freedom to say that i believe religion is wicked and so does richard dawkins so you shouldn't be talking he has the freedom to do say what ever he wants and when did i say you have no freedom ? why do you keep switching the subject each time ? stick to one subject

[glendaweil]

@ianul28 Look you idiot we have something called freedom in this country it mean you are free to think act or follow which ever religion or idiology you choose it is a choice you apparently have problems with people having there own choice about what they believe so maybe you would be more comfortable in a socialist country where freedoms are not so abundant so get a passport and haul ass good luck and farwell.

[ianul28]

@glendaweil exactly you think your helping people by putting nonesense in their mind and scaring them , thinking your religion is much better and anyone else beneath it will die in hell. If you saw athiests on the street saying religion is wrong we are here to help you see the right choice you would think exactly like i do right now. if you see people preach about a different god other than yours you would think it is outragous and wrong just like i think it is with every religion
