I wonder how this will work out for him

I know, which makes his idiotic carry-on even more farcical. But he may well have to address a pupil at some stage whether he teaches them or not. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he'd go out of his way to dead-name the pupil at every opportunity just because he can.
That family are the Irish Taliban with posh accents and clothes. The judge should fire him into Mountjoy and then ban the media from reporting on it. Its the second part that would hurt him most.
Argumentum ad populum is a logical fallacy.
I am not telling you (or anyone) to not believe in God,
But you just said a few lines earlier
I am pointing out the downfalls of faith overall.
Is that not preaching?
Show me where I said not to believe in God, quote it.
Point out flaws is not preaching, in the case of religion it is low hanging fruit as well.
Pointing out flaws in people's beliefs is preaching.
What else would it be?
Preaching would be me saying "Hey, drop that religious nonsense and be a non believer like me, it is sooooooooo much better than the fairytales you all believe in you silly sods".
What else would it be? Criticism.
You miss the point.
He didn't end up in jail because he forced his beliefs on anyone.
It isn't 'curious' at all- most Irish people have the cop on to distinguish between the state managed education system, which to a large extent embraces religious patronage, and the brand of 'education' and professional 'behaviour' that Enoch would prefer. He has lots in common with the unhinged fundamentalists of the J C McQuaid era-- I never want to see that again.
Plus the Constitution applies to all citizens, not just the poor deprived 'rural' folks who don't come from privileged areas, wherever they are?
Indeed, but again, there's always a bit of give and take when it comes to these types of things.
He didn't end up in jail because of his religious beliefs.
are you having a laugh? Court orders barring him from the school, spends months in prison, released & he’s there for 8:30 Thursday morning leaving at 3:45.
he is a freak at best. If you wouldn’t consider someone suspended from your workplace showing up every day as if they were supposed to be there and you didn’t think that was creepy behaviour, not to mention a court order barring them? Give your head a shake.
His family has form. He would have found some other excuse to act the wanker.
He’s turning up to a workplace, while he is not only suspended from duty, but recently released from prison for doing so in defiance of court orders. How can anyone say he’s anything but a creep at best? Surely you don’t consider this normal or rational behaviour?
hes not some martyr he’s a clown. I wouldn’t want him in a school with my kids.
Oh yeah I'm sure he and his siblings all came to their extremist religious viewpoints, which exactly match each other and those of their parents, independently. He's an intellect for the ages all right.
When applied to the existence of a God, no doubt, just because many believe does not mean it is true, when applied to the usefulness of that belief in a God to some, you are equally ill informed. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews). I don’t believe in God, I do believe that some do though, and that belief is useful to them, which is at odds with the earlier poster who said religion has no use.
Yip, agree with a lot of what you posted, but that does not make him a danger to children as has been suggested.
for the same reasons I would call him a creep I’d be proactive in making sure his contact with any child was limited. His way of thinking alone, frankly, is dangerous to children and young people. That oppressive weird God is great carry on is cultism at best.
how is this not trespass?
Because he has no legal grounds to be on the premises.
(Unless you meant how is this not)
Mod - Please stick to the topic of the thread, there is no need to discuss the merits of Catholicism or Protestantism in the broader sense. YOu can do that in the Christianity forum if you wish.
They are one of the most intelligent families in the country, I wonder what the IQ is
IQ does not equate to common sense and if they were that good at debate and legal recourse, he wouldn't still be in there.
They also seem to have racked up an impressive list of losses against various state bodies they've taken leagal action against, not to metnion the wrongful dismissal action against his sister's solicitor.
Staving off the guilt instilled by childhood brainwashing, that sort of useful? Or useful for keeping the proles in their place instead of rebelling against the injustice of their lives, sure won't their reward be in the next? Or useful for convincing people to give you vast wealth and power because you've convinced them you have the ear of the god-man?
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful. - Seneca the Younger
Perhaps from Castlebar?
You know, there is a simple way of finding out if people who practise their religion find it useful, just ask someone. As I said earlier, anyone with the IQ of a doorknob understands that religion is important to some people, and is if use to them.
Do you know them personally?
Yes, we're all individuals!
Yes, we are all different!
Yes! We've got to work it out for ourselves!
The Burke children are known for their academic success.[2][1][3] Isaac has a PhD in mathematics, and Kezia has won awards for a paper she wrote on mathematics and physics.[2] Enoch also holds two bachelor's degrees (one in theological studies, the other in history and politics) as well as a master's degree in education.[4] Josiah holds an MSc in economic history.[2] Simeon won the Mayo School's Debating Competition alongside his brother Elijah,[5] and represented the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) at the final of The Irish TimesDebating Competition in 2020.[6] All of the siblings who have completed an undergraduate degree received a first-class honours.[1]
I think most would acknowledge that their level of intelligence may be higher than most. Their academic achievements certainly put them in the highest percentile with all achieving first class honours so far.
Hitchens himself was full of illusions, which he did not keep quiet
His fanboys, merely, pseudo intellectuals who fail to realise he was a right wing British ignorant nationalist and hypocritical bigot
(but had an accent, so clearly an “intellectual”)
What is quite amazing is the lengths people will go to blame “Catholics” for things
It is always “Catholic indoctrination”, “Ring wing Catholic”, “Catholic fanatics”, but Burke and his ilk are never referred to as Protestants
Internet atheists, along with most media, clearly take their views from Britain in this stance, rooted in sectarianism and xenophobia, rather than logic
But that is merely because most are Catholic, and if you don’t like the religion or views it is “indoctrination”
50 years before the State, we all had Protestant schools which were most certainly involuntary, and involved actual indoctrination on the part of the Britain and its empire
You say, only Catholic in some areas, but what about those with CoI, but have no Baptist or Methodist school
Recently, we have multi-demoninational, merely because there is a market for them
