Think lessons in politics and financial planning would be a much bigger help to kids than religion 

100 million percent! Politics should be taught so people know how the country actually works. It's probably the most important thing adults should know imo.

They had sex education when I was in school 

Same but thinking more along the lines of getting knocked up as a viable means of career option.

Like I say you do not have to take the commandments litraly 

What about a eye for a eye

Sure that's in the bible also

As a whole they a good way to live your life.

Fair one Max but like I say if they're more guidelines than rules then what's the point as they're open to interpretation by 7 billion individuals. You can't have 'eye for an eye' and 'thou shall not kill' in the same text and talk about living standards. There's a lot of sh*te in that book too and it's been used to justify genocide and slavery. That's not a wholesome living example by any stretch of the word but it's been used for evil too.

Those are not priests your talking about tho Chris

They are nonces masquerading as priests to get close to vulnerable people to perpetrate their evil

 

What about the ones that aren't nonces that have concealed and covered up the crimes of their brotherhood? Even allegations against their top man? These people are literally the hotline to the divine creator so which ones are full of sh*t and which ones are real? Surely if the big man was channelling his wisdom and teachings through his chosen outlet they'd stamp this sh*t out?

While we're at it which version of the book is even true? Some of them won't read the second half. Other's wrote their own but they all to be the legitimate word and in all this time they line their own pockets selling afterlife insurance.

They've spent hundreds of years controlling and manipulating others through their words and deeds and we're expected to believe that continuing this way of thinking is a good way to live your life?! Sorry mate but I'm calling bulls*t on that. You don't need the haphazard collection of prehistoric life experiences to tell you how to live a just and moral life. We all know the difference between right and wrong without the musings of bronze age goat herders that wrote these stories decades after the fact. If it helps you get through the day, go for it but to legally canonise it as life's rules you can whittle down more than a few of those.

Statistically, I bet there's more than a few that do more than that!

I feel this is a positive step as we need to take more  individual as well as social responsibility as with humanistic thinking and this needs to be available as an alternative in schools with an emphasis on critical thinking.

"Humanism is a rational philosophy informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion. Affirming the dignity of each human being, it supports the maximization of individual liberty and opportunity consonant with social and planetary responsibility. It advocates the extension of participatory democracy and the expansion of the open society, standing for human rights and social justice. Free of supernaturalism, it recognizes human beings as a part of nature and holds that values-be they religious, ethical, social, or political-have their source in human experience and culture. Humanism thus derives the goals of life from human need and interest rather than from theological or ideological abstractions, and asserts that humanity must take responsibility for its own destiny."

In the humanist manifesto sandy, does it not say all religons are equal??

The humanist worldview is a fairytale etopia, were everyone lives side by side without borders, a global community??

Were the "greatest minds" will rewrite our moral compass, an that will be anything goes, we have to be tolerant in a humanist soceity except for christianity, christianitys the bad guy causes it calls out the humanist anything goes malarkey.
