discrimination against atheist in christian schools (personal experience)

[Captain Colostomy]

I'm also curious...why theology? Here in 'Murica, I can score a Doctor of Divinity degree for $20, give or take. Why suffer stupid only to wear it's insignia?

Maybe your country utilizes degrees differently?

To become a teacher in Theology i needed a master degree that took Three years. So yes perhaps it's different. i do teach at a high School so you need to be able to argue with alot of angry teenagers besides i really REALLY love Reading about religion so the Three years were fun except for the uncomfortable moments.

Except for the 'why' on becoming a theology teacher...(like...Why?...), I can see why a degree was important...in your neck of the woods. I agree with what yourself and Pineapple said already...the whole keeping it 'light' aspect...aka...no dogma enforced. I think religion is a cool subject too, but only as a social one. Putting too much emphasis on it's self important truisms leaves me cold.

I just got my masters in theology

Well, to each his own but I always think of this comment from Richard Dawkins about theologians.

What has theology ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them ever say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don't do anything, don't affect anything, don't mean anything. What makes anyone think that "theology" is a subject at all?

I'm curious as to why you are surprised that you were discriminated by a fundamentalist Christian. I would be shocked if in an entire institution of dogmatic theists you couldn't find at least one that would treat you detrimentally.

Christians aren't exactly known for their acceptance of people that are different.

in a way i was expecting it but when it actully happend i really didn't know what to do. It happend a few times that Our teacher said Things in class directed at me that suprised me so much i was left completly speachless. I didn't know that Teachers could be so imature and rude.

A fair number of teachers these days are fucking their students. Some just get to enjoy it more than you did.
