Faith schools

are you suggesting then that all palestinian people should send their children to palestinian school where they can be taught to hate jews?

how is nationality neutral?

how can something that creates the largest degrees of seperation known to man... be neutral?

And you're assuming that being british is not a belief....

Being British only exists in our mind, a child is not born British; his parents and the society he was born into label him British... He is indoctrinated into British society which teaches him the national language and values of that state....

He had no choice in the matter.... Should we deny children these beliefs... or only the beliefs you disagree with?

being british does not only exist in our minds. we were born here it's a fact. so called british values exist only in our minds. I want children to be brought up knowing about all cultures ( since this is what we are really talking about) and not be educated (indoctrinated) into one narrow set of beliefs

Of course being British is a belief!

Nationhood exists only in our conscious, the borders of the state are defined by man, the culture of the state is defined by man and the recognition of its existence is defined by man.

How is religion any different?

You weren't born in Britain, you were born ina geographical area which has been labelled Britain by man... If you were born here a few hundred years ago you wood of been a Northumbrian.

Religion is no different, it exists only in our minds and has an accompanying culture.

Can you please tell me something that all Jews believe?

I wouldnt like to be locked in a room with you 2 for 24 hours. The constant opinion differences would crack me up.

well then I wasn't born either, I only came into the so called world by a process labelled 'birth' by man (woman?)

I don't agree

incorrect, many religious liberal Jews do not believe in a G-d.

Clarkson and the pope would agree on most things

that they are right

You know fine well that state borders and cultures are defined by man, just as religious borders and cultures are defined by man.

'religious' is only a word defined by man.......

got to go.....was having such a good time........god I'm a sad.....

Of course they're religious, one of the greatest rabbi's I know does not believe in a G-d; he keeps kosher, prays, follows tradition, etc.

Humanistic, Reform & Liberal Judaism have many followers that don't believe in a G-d.

(Buddhism is another religion without G-d)

Being Jewish (just like being British) does not mean you will all have identical beliefs and values... it is a nation of individuals.

You two are off form tonight....

are buddhists religious?

hahaha "imo"

it was the first monotheistic religion, but one can still practise the religion without believing in the G-d, there are thousands of these Jews that are classed by themselves and the surrounding world as religiously jewish...

Your opinion is mistaken
