Dark Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ehh, I've been wanting to post this for awhile. Note, I am not trolling. This is a true story. Another note, no religious talk. A tolpic will be presented at the end. Religion is a speeding up of lockage. I'll refer to my friend as "A". LONG STORY HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO SHORT STORY. SOME SENTENCED MAY ONLY BE FRAGMENTS. A is atheist at Catholic School. A has no friends at this school. A doesn't care to listen to religion talks. A asks questions about God's existance. Note, A does not flame, nor is he disrespectful to people. A gets sent to principal. A tries to defend himself. A gets suspended. ...A year passes by. A has to go to church. A doesn't want to pray. A refuses to pray. Teachers sees; gets mad. A tries to defend himself. A is escorted out of school church. A gets 1 week of detention. Rumors are that a teacher (after A left), told all the kids that A was crazy and didn't know what he was talking about. Since there is already a topic about bias in schools... Discuss stupid punishments in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 A was smart, everyone else was blinded by ignorance and foolishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raelen Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I would like an explanation why atheist friend A went to church and a Catholic school in the first place. Parents?What the Sunday School teacher at the end said pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I forgot to say that A has like 5 good friends, one of them being me. I think A has to learn to leave them damn religious people alone. Because A wants to go to college. @ Raelen: A is smart, and public school isn't challenging enough for him. A's parents are Christian, which gives them more reason to send him to Catholic school. A has told his parents he is atheist, and now he has to deal with pressure at home.

Dark Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I don't go to a Catholic school, therefore I cannot be A. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raelen Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think A needs to talk more with his parents about not wanting to be involved with religion if he can. It may depress them, but if your friend really feels so strongly about it, he needs to take more of a stand. If he already has, I don't know what else he can do.If A's parents refuse to be accepting and if A remains and atheist, he's going to have a hard time in school and at home. One possibility is going to public school. (Even though, as you say, it is too easy for him.) Better to be a big fish in a little pond, and get good grades. Private school may be trickier, since quite a few of them are primarily Christian. It should also be pretty easy for A to refuse to go to church. His parents can't force him. There is another possibility, but A seems pretty determined to be an atheist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 He is doing well in Catholic school. And he doesn't necessarily need friends. He is "popular" in that school, but in a bad way. And we talk almost every day. If A's parents refuse to be accepting and if A remains and atheist, he's going to have a hard time in school and at home. That's pretty much his situation at the moment. @ Doco: I've been called Satan's child before... by a teacher. I don't know why I didn't go to the principal.

I don't know why I didn't go to the principal. This is why I created a religion called Santism, all about how Santa Claus rises up from hell on December 25th to rid the world of a billion evil souls and give presents to children to deter them from the path of evil. Yet even this is more believable than Christianity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's POSSIBLE that you really go to a Catholic school but you say you don't. Anyone can lie on the internet. But that's really the only argument you have at the moment.

Zeroshot Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 If you attend a Catholic school, you should participate in catholic rituals. If not, go to the much cheaper, non-religion biased(lol) public schools. I'm afraid God and arrogance wins this battle, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitus Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Apples + Oranges In a situation like the example, that would pretty much never happen, since Catholics are called to understand that other people don't believe in what they believe. However... In other schools there could be bias among teachers. Do you know why? Because everyone has bias, everyone leans towards one side or the other. Even if they don't, they will have some preference of a opinion over another. The only thing people can do about it, is to do the best the can to judge fairly. Also, it depends on the language in which someone is protesting something. If you disagree with a teacher, even if you are disagreeing with something completely idiotic, you should be respectful about it, because on this site, when people disagree with their teachers, they often insult the teachers in some way. It should be done respectfully, and ALWAYS in kind tone, toward ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindTheMask Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 There is nothing wrong with Religion. It is the manipulation of Religion that makes it bad. Anyway, I disapprove of A's actions. He was clearly in the wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get angry about my comment, piss off. I wasn't rude when talking about your ugly shirt, was I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
