Not really formerly religious, but I do want to talk about this.

SCHOOLS NEED TO STOP SHOVING IT INTO MY FACE.

It's very tiring studying in a Christian school, but there's no choice. In my region, it's either religious schools or bad schools.

My secondary school (equivalent to grade 7-12) is insane about Christianity. Every Friday it's like a horror game to escape from the teachers who try to drag you to fellowship. Oh you want to go to spring camp? Half of the time in camp is spent listening to Christian talks.

Here's another dumb policy. The school cannot do anything on Sunday due to church stuff. There was once a pretty big table tennis competition, but it was on Sunday. The school would NOT allow the responsible teacher to bring the school team to the competition just because it was Sunday, and that sparked a pretty big news within our region.

This is like YouTube adblock blocker backfiring, but for Christianity.

... you're complaining about the religion... at your religious private school?

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, and it's not private btw. It's one of the best ones locally (and there were only really 2 competing)

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

The contradictions were too glaring by the time I turned 12. God is love but hell is eternal and full of millions of objectively good people who just practiced the 'wrong' religion? Those things can't both be true.
