    Doing an exam in religion means you learn about the religion, it's not a test about your faith, it's you learning about things.

    In that test, you were supposed to explain why God wouldn't intervene in say an natural disaster/someone having cancer, you weren't asked about his existence, you were being asked about what believe about their God being a non-intervening God.

    I'm an atheist, and I did religion for the Junior and Leaving Cert, why? Because I find religion interesting.

    Being an overly antagonistic atheist will just perpetuate the stereotype that all atheists are like that, I'll happily laugh at how absurd certain beliefs are, but people believe in them for some reason or another, and their perfectly entitled to, so insulting them just isn't on...

    /So much rambling.... Basically, in an exam, unless you're asked for your opinion, your opinion doesn't matter, you can't prove God doesn't exist, so stating that without proof is meaningless...ramblerambleramble
    I think you kind of misinterpreted what I was saying. I'm not one of those 'All-Christians-Are-Stupid-And-Should-Be-Eliminated' Atheists. I was just saying I find it hard to say what they want me to hear. I don't like insuting people on the basis of their religion any more than you do.

    If that's the case and you don't want to say you believe/ don't believe you write "Christians believe that ......., Muslims believe that ...... You won't lose any marks for writing in the third person and doing this you do not insult any faith belief or those of none. Anyway it's over now nice enough paper and I hope you all did well in it.

    From what i've been told,its not a good idea to argue with a mod.. It never goes down well..
    Bom bom boooom.

    Arguing with a mod when it's regarding moderation issues is not on, however, my opinion about religion is not indefensible, you can argue with that, if you're being reasonable...

    Basically, unless if I'm dealing with another user being an asshat or doing some other mod work, I'm just another poster.
