I wondered how as a society we could promote Rationalism
and scientific methods of inquiry when we teach children from the outset that a
being called Satan could make them forget what they have read in an examination
hall.
I actually heard a woman say this of her son who failed
his common entrance exams.
I have a multi-religion background. I didn't want too
much religion for my own kids.
Scratch that. I'd rather my kids jettison Religion in
totality.
The problem however was that I saw religion being taught
right from the schools. I don't know how IRK is presented these days, but the
pentecostals are doing mayhem in their usual fashion in the christian realm. A
lot of schools are introducing texts to children which makes CRK a more
practical design.
It is no longer bland story telling. They now actively
proselytize children and ask them to ''save souls for Christ''.
The irritations of the pentecostal pulpits from sunday
services are creeping into schools.
