Have you considered counseling?

I don't need it. I would be rather concerned for you thinking I might need it - anyway, I hope your fixation with the evils of Sunday schools doesn't rule your life - that would be terribly tedious! Thank goodness nobody started a thread about the local church fete - apoplexy can be very dangerous!

The fact that you didn't go to Sunday school and you didn't get nonced is no proof of cause or effect. There is simply no link. You might as well say that if people have red hair it's because they weren't born on a Wednesday. Equally pointless and inaccurate.

And as previous posters have rightly pointed out (even though it is a fact that doesn't match your prejudices so you choose to ignore it) you are statistically far more likely to have been abused by your father or uncle than by one of the nice ladies that usually run Sunday schools. Anyway, if your brother wants the chance to **** the **** off his good lady on a Sunday afternoon without the risk of being interrupted by the kids, don't be such a dog in the manger!

So if Hillian was one of the 5 not forced to go, that means his brother did go. So therefore his brother will know more about Sunday school, than Hillian who didn't go.

Anyone else think this thread was a fishing trip?

You just made that up you morally corrupt old trout.

I said I wouldn't be forced to believe, not that I wasn't forced to go.

Oh the irony. I'm not the one accusing every Sunday school teacher of being a paedophile.

Yes, there have been cases of priests and ministers molesting children, but I can't remember a case where a Sunday school teacher was jailed for it.

“Personally I think anyone who teaches religion is a wrong un, best avoided, in positions where they are able to abuse”

Probably an interpretation of this.....

Thanks for your concern, it means much to me, it really does.

Just a thought, are you a Sunday school teacher?

I've heard lots of atheists say that despite their rock-solid belief that it's all fairy stories, they still enjoy singing Christmas Carols in church. The high-priest of modern day atheism, Richard Dawkins calls himself "culturally Anglican" (Douglas Murray, another prominent atheist says the same). I think both recognise that there's an important place still for the church and for understanding its historic place in society, the way it has shaped our culture and the role it now has. In other words, it's still possible to disagree completely with it's beliefs but still find comfort with the traditions and ceremonies. Personally, I think the term "cultural Anglican" is a great description and certainly something I feel too although I'm completely agnostic.
