if you want to look it up you can, there is lots of options, just people are too lazy...people want to give out about faith then take what they can from it... if people really believe in this day and age that the country is run by the church they are just not searchin all the options...

and i have yet to say whether i am of any faith or not yet, its an choice for any adult, either embrace it or dont, its everybody's choice...

not everyone lives anywhere near a non denominational school, its not a case of people "being lazy", its a case of the options just arent there

no not joking... when was the last time a priest came to you and told you the foly of your ways or what could happen if you dont believe( in their opinion) what will happen to you on the street!???

Yes, I probably will end up buried in a Christian graveyard, purely because the alternative would be to leave me out with the bins on the Monday. I don't care like, but the neighbours would probably whine about it, the arseholes.

Anyway, the point is, I'd far rather have nothing to do with any churches at all, but in Ireland, that's not quite a realistic option yet.

I'm just this minute after hearing a woman in the Late Late audience ask a doctor with a straight face how he adheres to the "Divine Law", fully expecting him to respond.

there are secular grave yards in this country...

oh you mean as in door to door, sorry I thought you meant RTE showing the angelus every night, the fact pubs close based on catholic holidays, prayers being said at schools, the pamphlets I get in the letterbox regularly, y'know that kind of thing..

I don't come from a secular family though, is the thing. Whether I like it or not, I'm getting a funeral mass.

I have no idea where my nearest secular school is. 90% of the country's schools are still run by the catholic church. The options are not there, particularly in more rural areas.

dont watch rte, so cant comment on that, sorry, and not that big of a drinker either, especially not the old holy wine, prayers being said in schools, just dont get educated in a school funded by a religious order?? and pamplets, never once got one through one of the 5 different doors i have ever lived in from the catholic church? the church is easy to avoid if you want to but people in this country do nothing but give out about it and consistantly go along with it!

primary schools?

the majority of primary schools in this country are now run by a board of trustees, in which the land may be owned by the church but the schools are not run by them, it is usually a group of perents on the board of trustees and they are the ones who make the decisions. if your child is going to one of these schools i would advise you and other perents like yourself, if indeed you are one, to get involved and reserve your right to not have religious studies taught in these schools.

nearlly all special schools in this country are owned privatly and are funded by private contributers and are funded by donations.

i myself went to a secondary school that was run by priests, it had boarders aswell up until i was in 3rd year, we never had catholic studies, we had a lot of students who had different religions, the second biggest in the school being muslim owing to the big population of african students, our teachers tried to give us an understanding of every religion they could in such a short space of time, no matter what it was, be it protastant, muslim etc.

we never had a church service in the 6 years in spent there even though there was a catholic church on the grounds, every religion was catered for and ignored in the same vain!

i think people are remembering school in ireland before the last 10years...

jill_valentine · 08-03-2011 04:37AM

Finished school in the early 2000s. Had mandatory confessions and prayers, priests were teachers and teachers wanted to be priests. Once saw a teacher berate a mentally disabled boy for being unable to recite the Our Father.

Maybe townier areas are better, but I think your experience was the exception rather than the rule.

flas · 08-03-2011 04:42AM

i would of hoped in this day and age it would be the rule and not the exception. i didnt go to school in a big town by the way, a medium sized town in the midlands, but my school was big.

saying that there was a tech 200 yards away where anyone who wanted could have gone.

we certainly didn't have lots of black muslims 20yr ago but we had a Raja n a Carlos in the class though; both from respective originofname.

but carlos had a skin condition n raja was an über geek, so no-one got too close, which didn't really help race relations

sandmanporto · 08-03-2011 05:35AM

atheists and extreme theists are as bad as each other. Build a bridge and get over it like! No one gives a f**k!

Father Damo · 08-03-2011 06:41AM

The worst thing about athiests here is that athiesm has no real reason in modern Ireland. The church hasnt held a smidge of power in over 20 years (kids having to say the Bless the Hands that Made Our Food prayer is not really that important). We dont have the Islam clash of culture issues like the UK, France and Holland do. Basically- if you dont like religion, fair enough. If you harp on about it you are an attention seeking arsehole tbh.

Also, few fail to see the irony in lambasting people for going on every word the pope says whilst sucking the knob off money making "genius" like Dawkins.

08-03-2011 06:48AM

I regret I kind of fall into the category that OP is talking about.. Atheists generally have quite strong views on religion, moreso I think than theists so sometimes, it just comes out and we look really stupid.
