    What? I thought we agreed that all of them should be forced them. All kids should be forced to learn all religions in school! That's what was agreed upon wasn't it?
    That which comes into existence will eventually break apart and pass away

    Not unless you're gonna force them all. In which case it will be a 12 hour religious school day followed by the usual 8 hours of school, 3 hours of prayer and meditation and an hour of sleep, as long as there is no homework. Are we in agreement?

    Of course we are. Have always said that. Except if you are Christian or Hindu or Muslim and go to such a school. Then it's simply a freely exercised choice.

    Funnily enough, most countries don't have laws against necro-cannibalism iirc. And if you were to be cannibalized while alive, there would most likely be a preceding infringement.

    The performance artist Rick Gibson explored the boundaries between death, cannibalism and social taboo. He got into a bit of trouble over it.

    But government schools should teach every single religion, or none at all?

    Your comment was about forced religion. People should be taught what they want to be taught so teaching every religion would be forcing religion.

    You're not making any sense within the context of the quotes. Please just answer the question - there is no need to reiterate to me what my position is - I am well aware of it. The only thing I can take from your comment is that no religion whatsoever should be taught. That seems to be the inference in the second part of your post. Why can't you simply answer questions posed in a concrete and concise manner without people having to read into everything...?

    It was all about forced religion. You're the one who then turned around and said all religion should be taught (basically forced) if religion is going to be taught after I clarified that it obviously doesn't apply to where choice is exercised. You're the one not making any sense so should religion be forced or does it fall under free choice?

    Christ I give up. Well done, you still haven't answered the question yet spent an age digging up quotes. Brilliant. It's not as if the question was obscure in any way...

    I made my stance clear. Religion should preferably not be forced. If people exercise a choice it's obviously not forcing it.
