Thank you for demonstrating beyond any shadow of doubt that you are not worthy of even a modicum of attention or a syllable of response from anyone here - as I said a WUM and a troll and only worthy of being totally ignored.

Please don't trip over the doormat on your way out.

Neither do pagans. There's a reason why just about every pagan moot I know of meets in a pub.

It's just that the festivals - one every eight weeks - are a reason to have a very good time.

It wouldn't matter to me if you did. But if this is the case why have a pop at Owlswing? He's having a blast. Tends to be the way of it with pagans.

I'm having a blasyt 'cos the moron is jacking something he knows nothing about to try and make himself look as if he is smart when all he really is is a smart-arse sniping for points. Hew gets hisw points but for pure unadulterated pig-ignorance.

Shit! He can have the points, now he has started on the Pagan bit he can do what he likes.

I do not have to defend my beliefs or the practices of pagans or witrches or covens to an know-nothing WUM/troll.

He is now what the Soviets used to call, as far as I am concerned, a non-person - he has ceased to exist.

Teachers do.

Do they teach religion as in "Religious Instruction", or do they just teach about religion?

I think you'll find the link I posted in the op explains exactly what it is that concerns most secularists.

I used to be a school governor with responsibility for RE and the biggest problem is the need to teach from a central syllabus. At KS1 the teaching is by ‘theme’, so each subject feeds into the others. When teaching about ‘how the world was made’ the Creation story is taught, art is making a collage of God making the world in six days and science... science isn’t the Big Bang theory, it’s how life grows. So five and six year olds in secular schools are taking part in activities that mirror those in Sunday schools and come home saying that God made everything.
