Speak out against the combination of superstitious claptrap and education! It is not ok to pollute young minds with lies. Religion has no place in the classroom.

Religion is ignorance; stop it now.

You've nothing to worry about. Nobody is teaching ESL here.

And there are no 'Christian' schools in the west?

I taught at a sunday school in Korea when I was there (on Sundays obviously).

The recruiter who got me the job told me to lie on my resume and say I was Canadian and a chirstian. So I whipped up a bodged resume and a univeristy in Canada ( I chose Halifax university which doesn't exist which I didn't realise)

My Sunday there I arrive to see my bloody resume on an OHP 12 foot high with all my lies on show. They believed me though or at least they wanted to. I felt bloody guilty/

I was terrified that I was going to be struck down by a bolt of from the heavens.

They turned out to be really decent people. Paid me 60k an hour as well which wasn't bad for about 25 minutes teaching of songs and the rest singing and clapping with the students.

Unfortunately, I think you�re wrong; atheists do not speak out enough against religious superstition. While I have to endure religious symbolism wherever I go, when was the last time you were confronted with atheist iconography? When was the last time atheists accosted you on the subway?

People don�t believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, but are happy to suspend disbelief when it comes to a personal god (or gods). People don�t believe in Zeus or Odin anymore, but are unable to take the next step and forsake the filth coming from a book over two thousand years old.

Children should not be subjected to religion! They do not have the ability to discern between reality and fiction, between what is real and what is made up by the ignorant to explain phenomena they cannot explain. Imagine the horror of a child confronted with someone nailed to a cross? What an awful sight!

In contrast, imagine the wonder and amazement of a child looking through a telescope, or a microscope. Curiosity is aroused and a desire to explore!

Religion is child abuse; stop it now.
Religion is ignorance; stop it now.

and if a post written in such an offensive manner obviously designed to raise an emotional response such as this is not from a troll I don't know what is.

I�m not intentionally writing to offend. What I�m trying to do is raise peoples awareness to the fact that religion is a form of enslavement of the mind. The best way to do this is to expose its flaws. So, no, andrew, I don�t teach my child to hate anyone, in contrast to religious instruction, which teaches that there is an in-group, faith-heads, and an out-group, non-believers or people who believe in other gods. I try to teach my daughter to consider all the information and make decisions based on facts. This is called the scientific method, if you apply it to religion; you quickly come to the conclusion that belief in meta-physical beings is false.

I believe it is important that people in general start becoming cognizant of the malignant nature of religion. Like a cancer it infests the mind and destroys reason. How else can one explain that people are not only willing blow to themselves up, or kill in the name of their god(s), but, in the face of pervasive evidence, teach something so patently wrong as intelligent design? This is why I�m against �Christian ESL�, because it doesn�t teach students anything besides how to turn off their brain.

Religion is enslavement; stop it now.
